[OneOffRegistrationUser]

Hi folks,

this is updated ACFs with added Pax and Payload stations for Mu-2 (2.1.0) and Load Manager script.

No settings changed from original except Payload stations. Custom (original) Gyration is enabled. You can disable it in PlaneMaker to let X-Plane calculate moments of inertia depends on Pax\Payload.

How to install:

1. !BACKUP! your XPlane12\Aircraft\X-Aviation\Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise v2
2. Copy xsMU2B60_XXX.acf form ZIP to XPlane12\Aircraft\X-Aviation\Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise v2
3. Copy Mu-2_Load_manager.lua \XPlane12\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts
4. (Optional) Mu-2Assesories.lua \XPlane12\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts

How to use:
1. Open window via:  Plugins \ FlyWithLua \ MU-2 Marquise Load manager or Assign Keyboard\Joystick button via \FlyWit\Lua\Mu2LM control(see Manager_Open_Close_Key.JPG)
2. LOAD Fuel: Input required Fuel in Lbs., Press LOAD FUEL - Fuel will be loaded to aircraft respecting Tanks sequence.
3. LOAD PAX:
    3.a. IF "Random Pax" UN-checked: input required number of passengers, Press LOAD PAX: Script will load requested number of PAX respecting seating sequence, with each Pax weight = 195 lbs.
    3.b. IF "Random Pax" Checked (Default) and Pax total weight equal to 0: input required number of passengers, Press LOAD PAX: Script will load requested number of PAX respecting seating sequence, with random Pax weight for each Pax within range 70-275Lbs.
    3.c. IF "Random Pax" Checked (Default) and Pax total weight inputted: input required number of passengers, input required total weight of passengers, Press LOAD PAX: Script will load requested number of PAX respecting seating sequence, with random Pax weights but Total weight equal to specified.
4. LOAD BAGGAGE: Input required BAGGAGE Weight in Lbs., Press LOAD BAGGAGE - BAGGAGE will be loaded to aircraft into BAGGAGE area.
5. Note Total Weight and MTOW, if exceeded it will change from MTOW OK (green) to MTOW EXCEEDED (red).

Note: All input fields are limited to Numbers found in POH.
Note 2: No Pilot Payload exist in this loadout due limitation of XP12 and assumption that aircraft is trimmed\adjusted\loaded to compensate pilot weight.

Mu-2Assesories.lua
This is Optional script required for additional Lights, headset and parking brake Controls.
This script adding several control commands you can map to your hardware to utilize buttons or switches to manipulate Nav, Beacon, Strobe, Taxi and Landing Lights, plus Parking brake (in Hold-on, release-off mode) and Headset.

How to install: Copy Mu-2Assesories.lua to XPlane12\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts . Look for new commands in "Mu2Misc"block of keybindings\controls.

Ok,

so the default plane comes with a fixed set payload/pax configuration?

That's why couldn't find how to adjust pax and cargo through the XP12 loading screen ...

[OneOffRegistrationUser]

Well, seems so. Or with XP12 auto-generated payload of some sort.

With this ACFs you do not have to use Script to load payload actually, new "Payload Stations" will be available on native XP12 load screens.

Tho with script you will have more options to load pax. Also it is allow to properly load fuel (Mu fuel management is bit different than native XP).

Thank you so much for this!    I was scratching my head by trying to find how to load my plane for OnAIr ....

Hope this will be included/fixed for next version

Hi, appreciate your interest!
Sorry, I do not have options to test GLASS, and also away from my SIM PC.

Tho I this can share:
0. Do all above.
1. !BACKUP! your XPlane12\Aircraft\X-Aviation\Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise v2
2. Open xsMU2B60_GLASS_XXX.acf with PlaneMaker
3. Go to Standard -> Weight & Balance -> Payloads
4. Set all numbers and options exactly as shown on attached photo.
5. All done. You are Fantastic!
6. Have fun.

Thank you very much!

Will this functionality ever be natively supported in the module?
I'm sort of shocked that I still can't adjust the payload in the stock version of this thing.

Didn´t really noticed that as I am quite new to the MU-2. So the default X-Plane 12 payload screen does nothing for you´re payload on the plane?

If so, then yes I would eagerly expect this functionality to be supported sometime soon too.
