Okay, aircraft completed -

Vickers Vanguard 953
Vickers Vanguard 953c Merhcantman
deHavilland DH.104 Dove

British Aerospace BAC 1-11 400

Keep them coming.

I don't know if the following will still be useful as Chris appears to have loaded the Vanguard (953) data already...

FWD Freight Hold
Stn1 - 2272kg
Stn2 - 3728kg
Stn3 - 3501kg
Total - 9501kg

AFT Freight Hold
Stn4 - 2935kg
Stn5 - 3833kg
Stn6 - 2481kg
Total - 9249kg

The above is based on 136 seat layout and assumes the following items to be 9250lb..
Seats and Tables
Bulkheads in cabin toilets and pantry units
Water system and water
Radio and Radar
Lifebelts, Retractable stairs (2)
Crew(7) and baggage.

Dave, are you sure on those weights? That's a mere 600kg less than the Merchantman can apparently carry for total payload.

Hiya Chris,

These figures are MAX freight loading mate and are taken straight out of the 953 Flight Manual. Here's a slightly reduced version..

Then what's the max capacity of the Merchantman? I'll trust your numbers more because I can't imagine the pax bird having the ability to carry as much as the freighter. That'd be a world's first.

I agree Chris.. it's a little confusing isn't it. I don't have the Merchantman FM to hand but I can certainly get it. Is it possible to change aircraft info in the databank once it's been input?? I don't want it to stop any conceivable ops so by all means, go with what you're happy with. In the meantime, I'll get the info for the Merchantman and pass it to you when received

This VA lark is rather more complicated than I ever imagined!!!

I can change the data at any time.

One more thing -

Please send screenshots in sim of the aircraft we're adding.

Here's the rules -

Must be a real world airline (or former real world airline) color scheme
Must not be any larger than 400x200 pixels, in jpg format and no larger than 40KB. I will then forward them to Konny for addition.

In addition, using these same parameters, the VA can add pictures of each aircraft (each and every one) with its aircraft as it buys them, similar to what I've done with Green Mountain Cargo -

&

http://flynet.en-studios.de/index.php?l ... =db&id=729

Notice the registrations match between the picture and the aircraft info. I did this simply because the 208 uses the Dynamic Tail Number mask, so it was simple to change it, but if we so choose, we can upload images of each airplane in the fleet for all to see.

MZFW - Dry OP WT gives payload of 20,420 whether its cargo or pax. I presume the client needs the MZFW so that after pax load has been put onboard it will only add enough freight to bring the acft to MZFW . If we could get some accurate dry weights of Vanguards and Merchantmen we could create a separate aircraft folder for each. I am assuming that a Merchantman has a lower dry operating weight after it has ditched all the cabin furnishings - then again, has it got a re-inforced/heavier floor? We can fine tune the figures in the database when/if we get any different figures.

The numbers I provided for Merchantman cargo capacity were max cargo load for the 953c pure freighter, if that helps?

Hi Chris,

Firstly a quick question for you. Can you add aircraft to the traders list so we can make some purchases? I'll give you a list

.

Re Registrations. I have PM'd Konny about this and one of the changes he will making after his exams is the ability to be able to change reg's. I am hoping we can add authentic reg's to the fleet. Once we have re-registered we can upload pics of the correct a/c.
