737 weights

Print Post  
I have had a system crash and had to install my aircraft again. I seem to be getting a 737-200/ADV that is over max all up weight even when I've not added any pax or freight in ACE. Is there something I should be tweaking somewhere? Have looked through the forum threads, but seem to be missing it. Any advice please?

Making sure that the max_gross_weight entry:

[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
max_gross_weight = 128100                      // (pounds)
empty_weight = 69800                           // (pounds)

is correct in the aircraft.cfg might help.

Take a look at the [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] section in the aircraft.cfg.

737-200:

[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
max_gross_weight = 116000                      // (pounds)

empty_weight_CG_position     = -9, 0, 0         // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datum

max_number_of_stations =129

;Moments of Inertia
empty_weight_pitch_MOI   = 1600655

My 737-200AADV is 3,272 pounds above Maximum Weight with these settings! I obviously don't fly the ADV as much as I do the -200, because that is the default load.
