  At the moment i have a fleet of 757s and i fly one myself,i have got quite reasonable with the landings and all that so i thought i would get a bigger aircraft this morning and chose the DC10,when i got it all installed and imported on Air Hauler i noticed it has less cargo capacity than my 757 fleet,i downloaded the DC10 from a free site would that be the problem and are these free sites left well alone   Cheers.

777s have huge fuel tanks.
What I do is find the MLW, then reduce the fuel tanks until an almost out of fuel plane is at MLW.

IE a 100,000 empty weight, 200,000 MTOW plane has a 150,000 MLW. It may have 30,000 cargo and 70,000 fuel so take out 15,000 fuel. That leaves 45,000 cargo with 5000lbs of fuel at landing.
Backup your aircraft.cfg before you do anything.

Hiya Flyer10 thanks for the info,what i did in the end was download a number of 747s and they have different cargo capacities and i found one that takes 144000,i had a trial flight and managed a landing at heathrow so i will go for that i think,it was fairly straight forward to fly,its a UPS 747-400  Cheers

Most add on aircraft are set up so that with full tanks and no cargo onboard they're at max weight (i.e. the developer has added the cargo capacity into the empty weight).  You may need t adjust the empty weight (zero fuel weight) down in the aircraft.cfg to adjust for that.
