I'm having a bit of an oddity that I can't quite figure out when it comes to the loading of the PMDG Boeing 747-400. It seems that no matter what I try to do, I end up with only two container carts. I've attached the Couatl.log files for both tests. In the custom payload, I've set the passenger count to 314 as would be standard for my particular airplane configuration. The log shows that two out of five containers are to be used based on a loading ratio of 24.53%. Additionally, it is showing the payload weight as 108630/442907 pounds. In the full payload, I set the maximum payload that the PMDG Boeing 747-400 will allow me to use, which gives a passenger count of 420. The log shows that two out of five containers are to be used based on a loading ratio of 33.46%. In this case, it's showing the payload weight as 148412/443489 pounds. My question is where are the latter two values coming from, and if it's supposed to be a maximum value, why is it not consistent. If I've set the payload to 100% and the payload weight is 148,412 pounds, should the maximum not also be 148,412 pounds rather than 443,489 pounds. Also, why is it showing two different maximum values for the same airplane. Is there a way to set the maximum number of passengers somewhere. I don't use SimBrief.
