Shorts 360 Fuel load

Post by TSR2 »

Hi Guys, I may be missing something, and in all likelihood I've forgotten something fundamental, but on flights with the 360, theres barely enough weight for a few hundred kilos of fuel at best. I can't seem to change the cargo or pax. Am I missing something? Could it be confusion between Lb's and Kg?

I've a splitting head ache today, so I'm sure I'm doing something stupid. Any ideas? :cpu:

Can't see it being any different in the client than any other aircraft. If you load the aircraft with so much fuel as it becomes over MTOW then the overweight will appear in Red at the bottom of the fuel up page in the client. The Change buttons will then be active and allow you to bail out pax or unload cargo.
Hope your heads better

That’s what I thought, but the buttons aren’t doing anything on my client after they activate (when over MTOW) so the only option was to alter the fuel. I’ll try again tonight and see what I can find. I thought it may have been to do with the package thing, but might be something else on my machine.

Is the dry operating weight 7870 kg, matching up with the weight in your models aircraft cfg file, Ben?

Empty weight in the CFG is 16900 LB so near enough 17350 (7870Kg) on the Carenado, and the Virtualcol one is exactly 17350.

I don't think I'd want to fly with 2 pilots ( ignoring cabin staff) weighing 42.5 kgs each ! Seriously emaciated ....

Glad it's sorted
What, you couldn't change your cargo or pax by 1099 kg to get you to 12292 where's the 2 change buttons gone? Is this the permissions thing? Never had that before
