I think I didn't make my question clear. MY questions was, when I load "Payload" there are only three "Load Stations" available in FS Fuel/Payload page. Those three load stations are for Captain, FO and FE. No passenger load stations. If I divide total load 15,000 Lbs, I have to put each load 5,000Lbs. This will keep CG all the way nose of the plane. In  Aircraft cfg Weight/Balance section you can see available Load Stations are 50, but CS did not open those 50 Stations.(May be CS did it and I missed it) Now, I am testing 727-200  stations, I took all stations and reduced to 87 passenger stations and saved  to Aircraft Cfg, file ( I didn't make any changes for Containers load stations, YET). That is how I am making my TEST flights with out any problem, but I am sure this is  not the correct way to adjust Weight and Balance"stations for 727-100 I was wondering how did you over come proper payload loading?

I believe your main issue is that you must run the ACE Tool as 'Administrator'. This is essential with Vista or Windows 7.

Also the following section does nothing and should be removed:
station_name.0 = "Pilot"            
station_name.1 = "Co-Pilot"        
station_name.2 = "Crew"            
station_name.3 = "First Class"      
station_name.4 = "Coach 3-10"      
station_name.5 = "Coach 11-18"      
station_name.6 = "Coach 19-25"      
station_name.7 = "Forward Baggage"  
station_name.8 = "Aft Baggage"  

Please note that your station loads are not sequentially numbered which is an indicator of ACE not saving your changes properly (i.e. not running as Administrator):
station_load.87=200, 5, -3, 0, Passenger
station_load.118=1200, 29, 0, -2, Container

Your 'max_number_of_stations' should be '94' not '50'.

Hope this helps you with your load problems.
