Hi Thomas
If you click on the "Expand Route" just below the flight you will find some details of the flight you are going to do.
As you can see, the aircraft is N412MC which is a 747-400 freighter in Atlas colours chartered by Qantas. Some of the aircraft are in the particular airline colours to which they are chartered, such as Emirates, N408MC, N415MC, and N407MC.
Do you have the downloadable liveries from the - Aircraft\Information\Repaints\FSX - page on our site?
The times for the flight are in the information, (note:- all are Zulu), and a lot of times it is not possible for us to make the flight at the actual time stated, so you can fly it at a time to suit you. Some people change the time on the flightsim to correspond with the time shown for the flight, but I personally find this inconvenient as, if you fly online and there are controllers on, it messes up the actual time you have and the position reporting.
As for the amount of freight carried, if it isn't stated, you can load as much as you like provided it is more than 50,000lbs. It is fun sometimes to load it up with as much as it will carry to bring it up to it's maximum all-up weight, and see the difference in the take-off run and the altitudes at which you can fly. Or put on 50,001 lbs and zoom up to high altitudes straight away. Try it out.
