The 737-200 advanced list 2500kg of cargo and I keep getting 0 loaded.
Cargo income: 0v$/100nm x Distance ( 523nm ) x Cargo ( 0kg ) 0v$

Check how many passengers you're loading. It's possible that between the passengers and their baggage (25kg/pax) you reach MTOW.

Nope MTOW was not a factor, very light loaded on fuel perhaps only 1/3rd max fuel load.

Hi,
B727-200ADV = 165 pax. 165 x 25kgs baggage each = 4125kgs so all the cargo space has been taken by baggage. On FlyNET flights all passengers are given a 25kgs baggage allowance and then that figure is deducted from the stated cargo capacity. If there's anything left after the baggage then you will get a cargo revenue.

I upped the ticket price and got 108 passengers out of 130 and still had 0 cargo. I think that something is wrong here with the 737-200 Advanced.

Nope. Nothing wrong.
737-200 Advanced Cargo Capacity = 2500kg
108 pax * 25 kg/pax = 2700kg
Thus, you have 200kg more baggage than cargo capacity, so I guess you bumped off some baggage to get off the ground.

Basically I found the same figures. So this sucker if you do not watch how much fuel you buy is a money loser.

Well, that'd probably be why they got retired. Fuel cost got to high.

Well then, the 737-200 here at FlyNET makes a decent living because of the cargo load. But it costs 30 million verses 1.7 million for the Advanced. Something strikes me as not on level.

You sure it's 30 million? I changed the price down with the 737-200 Advanced... Odd....

Ok no problem, I lost out a few bucks but I am not going to worry about it.
