question about FMC Per initial page. I did read Menu, and I fly another company 747 also. My understanding is, unlike 747 FMC, you need put a number in ZFW or GRW in per initial,once you did that, the other WT will be calculated and displayed automatically, am I right?
But the problem is where should I get the quantity of ZFW or GRW to put in? Pound or KG? ???.?  I tried different digit, but always show invalid input.
in ACE the total Wt is 72996 Lb. is that ZFW or..? how should I put it in FMC?

any can help? thanks alot

where to get the number for ZFW or Grw? and how should be the input digits look like? I did try ???.?, but invalid.

ZFW is calculated by adding the empty weight of the airplane, the PAX, and the cargo, without adding in the fuel.
With the Captain Sim 757 for FSX and FS9, I enter the GW in pounds on the designated line, (I think it is LS1L) and the ZFW is calculated by the FMC.  

72996LB would be entered as 730.0 since you round it up.  
The best place to get your GW or to figure out you ZFW is to go into the flight simulator menu bar at the top by pushing the ALT key and choosing "Airplanes" then choosing "Fuel and Load".  You will see all of the needed info there and you can set your fuel also.

Thank you so much!! Mr SignmanBob
now I will go to airport  ;D
appreciate your kind and patient illumination
