August 14, 201510 yr Hi guys I am still very new to tubeliners so I apologise in advance if this question is dumb BUT I used the PMDG Operations Centre to Download and install the PMDG 737-800 WL and the MTW according to the FMC is 174.7 tonnes I then did the same for the KLM 737-800 WL and the KLM 737-900 and the MTW according to the FMC is 79.2 tonnes Other liveries that I have downloaded also seem to have odd MTWs i.e Ryanair. Is there something odd going on or is it my lack of understanding, 79.2 tonnes does not seem correct? Regards Colin Regards Colin Ackerman

Make sure to pay attention to what the aircraft is using for weights. Airlines use a mix of KGs and LBS depending on where in the world they're based. Kyle Rodgers

And if you convert: 174.7 lbs = 79.1 tons. You just got confused with the units. Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.

There's a lot of stuff that can be picked up by reading the Intro Manual, too, if you haven't yet. Kyle Rodgers

Haha - even if I point to the manual, though, I'll still try to provide a summary here. It's a little more helpful. Kyle Rodgers
