Only 2 pallets for a 747 freighter?

(1/2) > >>

couger:
I started a flight today in the 747 freighter.  But when I started loading the plane there was only 1 tug with 2 pallets for the main deck.  The 2 lower decks only got the same.  This is after the latest update was installed.  And a 747f holds  27 give or take. pallets on main deck and 5 pallets in each lower deck.  Is there a setting that I’ve missed somewhere in gsx to do multiple trips or something?  Loading the 747f is done in about 5 mins.  Totally unrealistic.  Someone please help?

virtuali:
The amount of carts is variable depending on payload, with the payload evaluated when you call GSX so, the airplane must be loaded before calling GSX. If you use Simbrief, you can even call GSX with an empty airplane, because in that case, the number of carts will be based on the PLANNED payload instead.

couger:
That’s right but my aircraft is already set to a 60% payload.  It makes no diff.  It just loads the 2 pallets from 1 tug with 2 profiles for each deck. At 60% payload it should be loading about 16 pallets.   There must be a setting I’m missing. 

virtuali:
Nowhere we ever said GSX would simulate the precise, exact, number of pallets the real airplane can carry.

In FSX/P3D, the amount of carts in Cargo airplanes is variable from 1 to 5 (from 1 to 3 with Passenger airplanes), no matter the airplane used, depending on Payload so, according to my previous explanation, with 60% Payload, you should have 3 carts on each loader so, 9 carts in total, assuming you are loading from the Main Cargo door and the two Low cargo doors, so you have 3 loaders.

couger:
Yeah I know it’s not an accurate thing but before the last update I always got 4 pallets no matter what the payload was set to.  And the tug would come with a train of 4 profiles.  When you say payload are you talking about the payload in the pmdg fmc under payload or is it from a p3d payload setting?
