November 20, 20169 yr I use SimBrief or PFPX to do my flight planning. In both, they just group the passengers, baggage and cargo into single figures: Passengers: 203 Baggage: 3103 Cargo: 36123 In the airplane it has forward and aft cargo, as well as First, Business and Economy class. How do you distribute it out? Or do you just use Random loads and the Short/Medium/Long button (and, if so, how do you configure derates, etc)?

November 20, 20169 yr I just put in the ZFW and let the aircraft distribute it appropriately. Regards, Kevin LaMal "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings" - Shapiro2024
November 20, 20169 yr Yeah. It's impossible to guess "who bought first class" and who bought coach, so ZFW matching is my method as well. Unless you have some sort of simulated booking system set up, which I'm sure some virtual airlines use.

November 20, 20169 yr How do you distribute it out? Good luck. American Airlines has 27 different loading scenarios for their 777's. I don't know how much of a difference it makes with a flight simulator.
November 20, 20169 yr Author Thanks guys. I get it. Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane. A great landing is when you can reuse it." i9 64GB RAM, GTX-5090
