Title: Re: 777 radios

I'm going to start off with that it's a bit pathetic I have to post 10 times in different threads before I can start my own. I have one specific issue that I'd like to ask, and not take over someone else's issue. Unfortunately that seems to be the way it works here so that's how I'm going to ask my own.

I have an issue with the weights on the 777-200LR for the steam edition. I can load in everything I need on ACE, and see it fill in on the fuel & payload section, however my issue comes with when I use a flight planner tool, I find my weight can be off from 10-20k lbs.

Currently I'm using SimBrief for my planning tool, and have used so for the past two years. Excellent tool I'd highly recommend. However, I have an issue with when I select the PAX and ZFW which does not equal what the fuel & payload says in FSX. I've gone through the aircraft profiles for SimBrief and entered the weights that I can.


320,000lbs: OEW
461,000lbs: MZFW
766,000lbs: MTOW
492,000lbs: MLW
320,862lbs: Max fuel capacity


I've limited the max PAX amount to 301 to prevent any situation where I go above the max amount allowed for ACE. The weight for cargo and PAX transfers fine, however, the information that is being plugged into ACE does not equal what SimBrief is putting out. SimBrief claims that pax weight is 175+55 for assumed cargo.


Is there any way to change the PAX weight for the CS 777 to 230 to equal this or no? I apologize for taking over the thread with this, but imo this is quite a horrid way to force users to do exactly this to get the answers they need.
