Has anyone else had this problem with FSX.

If load an airliner into FSX, go to Fuel and Payload to get the ZFW info (among other things). Then I go into Payload and my first 24 passengers are listed as being in the plane, using the 737-200ADV as an example, their weight is 0 (zero) pounds instead of 180 pounds. With my GA aircraft like my C208B, I have the pilot, co-pilot but no passengers or cargo AT ALL. I have worked out that the first two stations (Pilot, Co-Pilot) are there, but the next 23-24 are also there, but only with 0 (zero) pounds of weight.

Here is an image of what I see, when I compare FSX Payload with the aircraft.cfg:

I have numbered all the passengers in the aircraft.cfg, so that you can see the corresponding info in the Fuel and Payload > Payload section. of FSX

This is a new one for me and I feel that I may have no other choice but to do a complete uninstall/reinstall of FSX to fix it. Unless someone else has had this happens and knows the cause. I really don't want to do this because my FSX takes up 130GB.

I was about to submit a ticket to Captain Sim, believing it to be a problem between the ACE and the 737, until I thought I had better check on some other aircraft. Just as well I did because it is happening on all of them.

I don't know when this started, but I know it was at least a week ago, when I look at the CS 737 and discovered it. I thought it had gone away until today. I was wrong.

i got same thing. never got it to work, but i using FSPX, so i never dig into that bug.

Also, number of passenger stations shows incorrectly. I believe that if you set all in ACE, - its better not to change pax weights in payload. Anyway, despite wrong indication, ACE settings works.

Re Installing FSX didnt hepled me. i got same things in both installations on my old comp, and on new one.

So you only lose a few of the passenger entries or all of them?

I can see Captain and FO, then I see the zero entries. I was assuming that all passenger entries show '0', which then made me wonder how the overall value of 27.100 could be reached. So do you lose all passenger entries or is it just the case with up to 24 or 25?

Taking the point from windplayer, are there any addons of yours which could lead to that strange setup? Can you try a FSX run with a very clean dll.xml and exe.xml, so that absolutely no addon module gets loaded?

Nice route. 

So 23 out of 116 are gone? Ok, that is strange indeed. Did you try the FSX run without any addons in the dll.xml and exe.xml already?

I don't see where you have the maximum number of stations declared eg. (from the CS 767 300)

max_number_of_stations =106

station_load.0=170,75,-2,3,Captain
station_load.1=170,75, 2,3,First Officer
station_load.2=1000,0,0,3,Crew
//etc.

May or may not make a difference?

It gets stranger and stranger it seems.

Since when do you get those errors by the way? Did you install something new just before that? I know that P3D installs its own Simconnect version for example, but this shouldn't mix up FSX.

Mark,

The problem doesn't happen always, but frequently I've had a similar problem when using CS 757.

Are you sure that is safe to delete ALL files at C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX?



Thanks,
