	I couldn't even enter such a large number. Hence my question back then. Sorry, Oleg, I don't have a solution for you. � I hate to admit it but, currently, I'm running the 737 without the PDCS. If you are looking for a nice mod, helping to handle the downside and even adding some more features, look here. http://captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1353062742

	When I use the PDCS, I enter the weights in Kilograms. Not pounds. If the gross weight is, for example, 115,400 pounds, then I would enter that value in Kilograms, which is equal to about 52,345 Kilos. The maximum weight of the 737-200 is 52,616 Kilos, so the Gross Weight will never exceed 100,000 and so you will never have to worry about entering that large a number next to GW.

So, the PCDS uses LBS or KG? Has this been cleared up at all?

	It uses pounds (in mine), but be aware that I have my FSX set up to display U.S. System (feet & pounds).
