What do I put for a release number and When I tell it to load it tells me that the PAC server was not found?

"I'll reprint what is shown in the Load Center Manual Dispatch Release Loading When a Dispatch Release is generated, a FLT Release Number is generated and can be found on the first page following the Crew Notifications. Example: FLT Release Number 80834 Time 16:35:02 ? 19/11/2005 UTC If the FLT Release Number is inserted into the box provided in the Load Control Center and the ?Load Cargo? button is pressed, the load that was entered into the Dispatch Release will be brought forward to the Load Control Center. You will see the load shown on the aircraft diagram. Clicking the ?Save Cargo? button will re-write the aircraft.cfg file with the correct cargo information. When the load is determined from the use of a valid Dispatch Release Number, the Load Control Center will also show your flight number and aircraft registration. Clicking the ?Save Cargo? button will update the weight to the aircraft.cfg file. If a Dispatch Number is used, you can not manually change the weight in the Load Control Center. You must use the load which you previously entered when creating the dispatch. The options will be grayed out and unavailable. This happens after the dispatch number is entered and ?Load Cargo? button is clicked. To reverse this, click the ?Clear? button. The purpose of the ?Load Control Center? is too ensuring that the aircraft is properly balanced. If loading using the Dispatch Number, Random or by percentages, the balancing is done automatically. During full manual loading the balancing of the load is in your hands so load carefully. When using a Dispatch Release Number the suggested fuel is also carried forward and added to the calculations for an estimated GTOW. Make sure that if a Polar flight is loaded the PAC and correct tail logo is used in the Load Center. The same applies for an Atlas Dispatch."

"Ok, never mind that last reply I have that figured out but now the only problem I am having is that when I go to press the load button it tells me I have exceeded the load maximum, but then what do I do?"

"Just out of curiosity, how much cargo are you attempting to load on this one little old plane?"

joshua04 · Post by **joshua04** » Sun Dec 11, 2005 7:43 pm

I only want to load about 75% of it but it keeps telling me that I have went over the limit.

"That does not answer my question. Tell me in pounds. How far are you going and how much fuel will be required. It is also rated as pounds and part of the total load the aircraft can handle. Fuel is more important than cargo. Carrying a big load that falls out of the sky when you run out of gas, really doesn't work. Where are you getting your load numbers from? What will be the GTOW? What is the PTOG versus the real GTOW?"

"Well I am going to Hong Kong from KLAX and I dont understan what you mean by GTOW and PTOG, and I cant figure out how much cargo I need I dont know where to go to get that?"

"Until you get a better understanding of the basics, you should be choosing shorter and easier routes. GTOW - Gross Takeoff Weight PTOG = Projected Takeoff Gross GLW = Gross Landing Weight The flight you are planning to take is a 15 hour plus trip which exceeds the 10 hour maximum that one crew can fly at one time. That means a stop over at some point. You would also require about 394,000 pounds of fuel to make the trip non-stop. OEW = 342,000 lbs Fuel = 384,000 lbs -------------- Total = 736,000 lbs That would only leave about room for about 14,000 lbs of cargo. That would not be a very profitable or realistically possible run. You need to carry less fuel, more cargo, stay within the limits of the aircraft and crew flying hours, determine where and when to refuel and sleep. Moral of the story: Start with easier flights."

"Ok, but what do I do about the ""over limit thing in the Loading center"" and what about the open boards if I want to change the flight I all ready assingned myself to it?"

Contact your Regional Administrators for assistance. They will be glad to help you select a flight either from the Open Board System or from the Atlas Charters that would be better suited for your experience.

"Ok well I got my new flight, but there seems to be a problem with the FSacars every time i try to use it it tells me that there is errors and asks me if I want to send them or not then suts the FSacars down on me and I cant file a PIREP?"
