Payload and Fuel Question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

A hearty thanks in advance for any help that could be offered. I've
downloaded a number of add-on aircraft, and for the most part, they all seem
to work quite well. However, I occasionally experience a problem whereby
FS9 shuts down and goes back to the desktop after I modify the payload on a
some aircraft aircraft. Can anyone advise if this is an aircraft cfg. file
problem, or something else.

Any advice of a possible work around?

Again, thanks in advance for any responses.

Reggie

Perhaps if you mention the specific problematic aircraft, someone will
be able to help with some specific ideas?

I have several add-on aircraft (mostly payware, but several freeware
aircraft as well), and I've never come across this problem, so I'd be
at a loss to try and suggest anything at this point.

Hi Melissa:

It occurs with a/c from Kitty Hawk Productions and a few of the SGA MD
models. One common thread I've noticed is that all of the a/c have multiple
stations where one can adjust the payload. I can't figure it out for the
life of me.

Thanks for you response.

Reggie

Look in the: "Aircraft Container SDK" for station loads!!

Hi Gregory:

I didn't find anything in the A/C SDK that was of any benefit. The a/c
already have load stations with specified weights. The problem I'm having
is the crash to desktop whenever I enter a value for any of the weight
stations.

Thanks for your efforts, though.

Reggie

I noticed the same problem (crash to desktop) attempting to change
any Kittyhawk 737 payload-station. I think FS9 has a maximum limit as
to the number of payload stations; The Kittyhawk-737 has 60.

Payload stations are listed in the aircraft.cfg file, under :
max_number_of_stations=

You could try changing the max_number_of_stations= to '10', and
delete the last 50 stations, but the AC may not be balanced correctly.
