Hi.
I`ve noticed in ACE that you can enter a ULD weight in the box and then multiply it by using the arrows to load / unload.

My question is.......
What should this value be?

I`ve looked at http://baworldcargo.com/configs/BAWCconfigurations.pdf
and found this statement...................

The 757 is narrow-bodied, short to medium range aircraft which can
carry approximately 5 tonnes of cargo together with a full passenger
load. The aircraft has two underfloor holds consisting of five
compartments. The forward hold (compartments 1 & 2) is fitted with a
three-bin sled installation which is extendable from about 20“ behind
the forward hold door to the rear of the hold. The rear hold is divided
into two sections. The forward section (compartments 3 & 4) is fitted
with a two-bin sled installation and the rear section (compartment 5)
is a bulk compartment. Cargo and mail are loose loaded on this aircraft,
which does not carry Unit Load Devices.

As you can see this is NOT how ACE v.2 shows loading.
Can this be corrected?

Cheers
Eddie

Eddie,

Your quote is for a passanger model, ULDs are not simulated for the Captain Sim passenger models.  They are how ever for the freighter models and the default weights in the ACE are a good average to use.

By the way here is the freighter model info, on the next page of the same document you linked to:

I hope this is of some help ;)

Hi.
Why are ULD`s on the ACE for the 757-200 and 757-300?
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

I Guess I misunderstood your question. The ULDs on the passenger part of the ACE, as I understand it, are to make the loading of your hold cargo and bagage simpler. If you set each ULD to about 1000lbs or 500kg, you should be able to load all 9 and stay under the 5 ton mark by about 1/2 a ton give or take.

I hope this is of some help and sorry for misunderstanding your first question. ;)

No problem mate.
Just the document I found says the 757 dosnt have 9 bays.
Am I just being picky?

No, I don’t think your being picky.
I think CS did the cargo this way to make it easier on the average virtual pilot.
Loading the cargo bays on a real aircraft is almost a science by itself. :o
