Sunrise on the Hummingbird Ridge

Oswald,

The PAX and Cargo numbers MUST be exactly as shown to be accepted as an official Econ2018 flight. I think SPAACARS-FG should handle this if you've configured your FG simulator's payload weight correctly before starting SPAACARS so that SPAACARS can correctly separate the Cargo and Pax weight.

Briefly, make sure that your simulator's payload has exactly the payload weight equal to number of PAX * 170 + Cargo weight. Then SPAACARS should be able to parse the total payload weight correctly.

See the Econ instructions from the main menu (especially about half way down where it says "how simulators handle payload".

If it still won't work, let me know the flight and values and I'll test it out on my system.

A quick example:

Let's say your flight calls for 5 PAX and 250 lbs. Cargo:

Your total payload weight needs to be: (5*170) + 250 = 1,100 lbs. (count the pilot as one of the required passengers).

Hopefully you can adjust either payload or one of the passenger weight values down to the exact 1-pound increment so that you can achieve exactly that required payload weight for SPAACARS to parse.

If not - then I'll need to revisit the FG setup for possible work-around.

If you're talking about SPAACARS PAX field you must first highlight the current number there and then type the new entry. This replaces the current number without making a new number. Example entering a '1' in the field if a '5' is already there doesn't replace the 1 with a 5, it just makes 15 and SPAACARS may change the value if it's not a number the current payload weight can accept.

Ok Oswald. It might be particular to the model of plane you're working with. It might be necessary to alter a file again to make it work - or perhaps choose a different plane. Perhaps you can email me the FG plane model you're working with and the PAX Cargo payload values you're trying to set for it and I can look for a workaround too.
