Carrying cargo on pax aircraft

Hi,

Why is it that on the smaller aircraft with a smaller cargo capacity in the holds, FlyNET never gives any cargo to carry. With a good rep and full passenger load a lot of the smaller aircraft carry nil cargo. Shouldn't the same formula be applied to the cargo that is applied to the pax load ?

Cap Flyer can explain it better than I can, I think it has something to do with the Zero Fuel weight vs the weight of your pax.

Hi,

Last note I saw from Konny was that the MZFW had not yet been implemented so something else must be wrong somehow.

Konny told me that MZFW isn't used yet, so I don't know why it's not assigning cargo John.
