May I request some cargo only [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] entries on aircraft.cfg of the 707-320C? Would be a nice stuff for those who flies Cargo version only, like myself.
;D
Best Regards,
Patrick.

Some of our B707 freighters (namely the rare B707-120BF) in this instance feature a CFG file with a W&B section already allocated with a "cargo only" configuration.
This was not done for the B707-320C "at the time the B707 FDE's were last messed with" .... only because it would really require a separate Aircraft Base Pack in order to represent these aircraft properly/specifically .... since their W&B would be, by necessity, different to that of PAX configured B707-320C's. To to this "sensibly/properly" would also then require a lot of additional work in order to separate all the freight configured 320C's from the remaining PAX configured 320C's and to their own page section .... which I/we simply don't have time to do at this point of time.
"IF" our Mike MONCE would like to work out a freight only W&B specifically for B707-320C aircraft .... and then post that data here after testing .... then I've got absolutely no problem with that at all.
I'll certainly put this proposition to him !
"IF" this is done .... then it must be done according to Mike's pace only though !

Ok I understand that you want a "as real as it gets" impression but I meant something much more simple: maybe some stations os the weight and balance with only cargo configurations. Could it be done somehow? I'm not talking about change the .air file or nothing like that but only about change the names and the numbers of the load config. Thanks a lot once again! |

That's precisely what I was implying when I commented regarding the separate base pack .... which is in fact what would be required .... "IF" we did this "properly" .... and it would only be a CFG section edit too.
"PROPERLY" .... or at least as well as posible .... given the limitations of FS .... is the only way we/HJG would go "IF" (a "VERY BIG IF" if at the moment because of other priorities) we did in fact do this at all.
I'll leave it up to Mike .... as mentioned before, but, I wouldn't expect to see any results for a while yet .... given our other priorities here at the moment.

Send me a PM in about two weeks time to remind me of this. If things have calmed down a bit  with the other projects, then I should be able to do this fairly quickly. Mike |
