Yesterday, I flew from Moscow Shermeteyevo to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion in a 737-800 Because of the distance and FSX's tendancy to give you wrong fuel usage estimates, I decided to carry a full load of fuel. When this was done I started filling up the cabi and cargo hull. Total: 31,279lbs. When this was done I when back to the main fuel and payload page and noticed that the big red writting was telling me I was 8000lbs overweight. Because of this and my fear of running out of fuel. I had to leave all my passangers luggage and 10 very unhappy passangers back in Moscow! Sorry!
