Title: Aircraft weights & other prominent issues
Post by Swagger897 on Dec 8th, 2021 at 11:32am
I have no mods installed and this is with a clean install, but I am wondering where aircraft weights were found for this plane? In the sim I show the following:
Empty Weight: 485,300 lb
Max Fuel: 421,216 lb
Max Takeoff Weight: 987,000 lb

The empty weight alone is nearly 34,000 lb over what the listed maximum taxi weight is for the 764 as stated from Boeing. The listed fuel capacity is also 24,410 US gal, which when using JetA-1 (1gal = 6.7 lb), would be approximately 161,738, nearly 260,000 lb lower than what is possible in the sim. I would share a Boeing link for weights listed but anti-spam protection is prohibiting me.


I'm also concerned about the cockpit used. The 767-400 does have a similar cockpit to that of the 777, but it is not exact. The overhead panel is not the same as it is in the 777, as it should more closely resemble the 767-300.

Also, ground handling for the aircraft (along with your 777 product) is nearly impossible. Any attempt at lining up on the centerline or making 90 degree turns on taxi ways requires extremely high N1 power settings, and constant use of differential braking. Running wide on turns even when attempting to turn in at an early point (which almost ends up running off whatever paved surface traveling on) is incredibly frustrating - When can this issue be looked at and fixed??

LOL...I was literally pasting this link as you posted.

To add for the original poster:
These weights are for the 747, which is what this 767-400 thinks it is.  Not sure if this is one of the things that can be edited, but I would not hold out hope.
Read the "The Future" line of the CS response.

*i still can't even quote this because I don't have 10 posts*

So does this mean that the 764 has the same endurance and range as the 748? Or have the figures been scaled down?

And no update to if the ground handling will be resolved? That is the basic definition of a teething issue.
