FsPassengersX Atlantic Sun Airways Payload Models. 

Atlantic Sun Airways aircraft pics and readme file created by Jeff McBride. 
Payload models used were defaults models from FsPX. A few models weren't found in FsPX and were created by me.
If you have any questions please send me an e-mail or check the forums.

Seven aircraft below have potential issues with either CG or Weight and Balance. The values were taken from FsPX default
payload models and should be evaluated by someone more intelligent than myself. ; P


************This package is intended to be used only by Atlantic Sun Airways members.************ 
*****************Please do not distribute the contents herein to non-members.******************** 

The purpose of this package is to give Atlantic Sun Airways members the ability to view the aircraft that they fly in the FsPassengersX 
payload module. [It's nice to be able to see the plane when you are loading it with fuel, cargo and pax.] 



1a. Extract all .ini and .jpg files from the Payload_model folder into your FsPassengers payload folder which is "usually" located here:

   Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\FsPassengers\Payload_model

   
1b. Copy the images from the UserImages folder to the corresponding folders of your FsPassengers installation. To activate these logos, click on the logo of your FsPassenger airline at the apropriate dialog windows.



2. After placing the files in this folder; start FSX up, select your Atlantic Sun Airways aircraft, and click the "Fly Now!" button..


3. If your plane has not been purchased by your FsPassengers Company yet, now is the time to do so. [Do this from company manager] FsPassengers>>Company Manager>>Buy current FS plane


4. Start your FsPassengers flight. You will then be taken to the "Load aircraft" window.


5. If "Payload model not found" Window appears goto step 6. If you are at the "load aircraft" window and it is showing 
the default FsPX aircraft then got step 7.

      

6.     ((((((((((((IF A PAYLOAD MODEL IS NOT FOUND)))))))))))))):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the payload model is not located (example: the Atlantic Sun Airways C206 trainer) then a window titled "Payload model not found 
for: Atlantic Sun Airways Cessna 206". This usually occurs due to there not being a payload model or the name of 
the add-on aircraft not being recognized.

In this case, just click on the [Close - Use current default button] at the very bottom of this window. Do NOT click 
on the [Use default but with my data above] button.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


7. Notice that the default aircraft picture isn't the nice shiny Atlantic Sun Airways plane that you are flying.


8. You need to force the flight model. Select "flight & aircraft setting" at the bottom of the window.


9. Under the Aircraft setting (Permanent)section, chose "Force selecting a payload model:" and click 
its related drop down menu. 


10. You would then select from the drop down menu (ASAC206.ini). All Atlantic Sun Airways aircraft payload models start with the prefix "ASA". 

 
11. click the close button.


12. The Gate information box will reappear. Click "Ok".




There you have it. : )


You will need to perform this action one time for each Atlantic Sun Airways aircraft that you fly.

                                                           Help fixing this would be appreciated.

             
             
             
             
I would like to thank Andy and Jay for supporting me in this effort and I hope you enjoy the new payload models. 
A great big thank you goes out to another Atlantic Sun Airways member, Richard Glatter, who assisted with CG testing of the Cat A&B models.
I also want to recognize a really great guy who I consider a personal friend, Daniel Polli, creator of FsPassengersX.
