Is it possible to go into aircraft.cfg under weights & balance section & put in the right amount weights to allow for more seating show up on fmc.. Like for First Class looking to have 20 seats available for the 737-800 when it currently has available possibly 16.. Is there a way to change it to reflect 20 available seats instead of 16 by weights.. 

 

Does anyone in here know how to do this without messing the rest of the plane up.. 

 

I'm dealing with United Airlines that has 4 different seating variations & would be nice to know how to do this because sometimes they may use a seating layout that may have 16 first class but next time may be using the one with 20 first class seats..

 

Quality Wings has there laid out in weights so I can change my pax amount by weights & i'm sure in some way it would be same with this one just its laid out differently & I'm afraid of messing it up without talking to someone who knows how to do it & can tell me how to do it without messing the rest of the system up..

There is no way. Just create different versions in something like PFPX and enter the zero fuel weight into the FMC, and ignore the pax figures in the FMC. Remember the plane does not care how many pax, only the zero fuel weight and distribution (the FMC auto-distributes correctly) 

As Wes has mentioned  weight is weight no matter how you look at it

Ok thanks
