744Q2 PFPX Profiles

[77west 139]

load the plane with zero fuel and payload, note the empty weight, then load max payload, subtract empty weight from payload, thats your max payload.

Hey thanks for the pointers. I got 148.4 thats a lot higher than the 111.9 in PFPX and  the 120.0 in topcat, 120.0 is the max in topcat so it won't let you enter anything higher either.

Crikey, talk about trying to split the atom.

 

Guys, the ZFW is the weight you want whether it be in the PERF INIT PAGE, inside the PMDG set up or PFPX.

 

When it comes to TOPCAT the PTOW or the TAKE OFF WEIGHT is the weight you want.  Skip the page requiring all the blurb on passenger numbers & go right into the take off page & enter the the take off weight right there, along with the weather (which you can get downloaded automatically), your chosen flap setting & thrust setting.

 

All of these 'numbers' are already available 'as' is from the files that came with PFPX or are 'downloadable' from the Aerosoft website thanks to some already hard prep done free of charge by guys like Phil further up this thread.

 

I am sure you will find all the numbers you want in the manuals that came with your new plaything under limitations .... somewhere in Volume 1.

 

I wonder how some of you actually get the thing into the air.

I just pull back on the yoke and hope for the best. ☺️

I just open the throttles and pull back on the stick ( steering wheel looking thing ) and hope for the best! Fair Dinkum mate!

I just typed my departure airport into "Origin" in the FMC, and hit request and then it shows all the routes in the database for 73, 77 and 74 aircraft types, take the route you need and your good to go.

I took the 777 option in the video i'm currently uploading (@14:20 for the 1/2 shameless plug) and it loaded straight into the FMC
