Volunteers Needed for Aircraft Weight Data Collection

As you know, we're implementing payload calculations in AE 3.1. The maximum payload for a flight will be estimated using the data below, as extracting data from actual payload/range charts would require an obscene amount of work.

For each aircraft + engine combination, we need the OEW (operating empty weight), MZFW (max zero fuel weight), and MTOW (max takeoff weight) in pounds.
For each aircraft, we need the MLW (max landing weight) and max fuel capacity in pounds (1 gallon = 6.8 pounds, 1 liter = 1.8 pounds).

For aircraft missing the above data (the vast majority of them right now), payload will be estimated as a function of max range.

Here is a list of manufacturers and the person gathering data for each. Anyone who wants to contribute to the weight database is more than welcome - just reply to this post and say which manufacturer(s) you want to take on. Even 1 or 2 is fine
When you're done, please email me the data (excel spreadsheet for example, CSV, any format is fine really) at yuxi@airlineempires.org
Ideally we would like to have all the data in the game in the next 2-3 weeks, but it's not a firm deadline and will not affect the date of the beta or the new worlds.
Thank you in advance

None!

I'll work on BAE, Britten Norman and cessna

I'll work on BAE, Britten Norman and cessna

Thanks Bolli

List updated.

I call Bombardier.

(Even though I still have lots of other stuff to do, none of it is very important )

Would love to help.
However where would i get the information from?

However where would i get the information from?

Payload/range charts mostly, since the data varies for each engine.

For example, here is the data for the E170: http://www.embraerco...ownload/138.pdf (accessed from http://www.embraerco...oducts_detail/1 )

I'll have a go at doing Embraer if nobody minds.
Don't know how much of a success it will be.

After I've collected the information shall i post it here?

Email me when it's done

Thanks

For a start , I´d try to look up the data for the the two CASA models.

Thank you

Goody, I´m already on it.

I'll take Fokker , Piper and Saab.

I have a bit of information on alot of aircraft from a book i got out of the library today so if you need info on something PM me

I'll make a start on Lockheed, Fairchild (USA and Dornier), Raytheon and Piaggio.

I'll try working on Sukhoi. All we'll be needing is the SSJ100, right?

I can do something to take work off ba's hands

Then choose some of the remaining manufacturers, Bins...

I'll happily work on Antonov,Ilyushin and Yakolev.

Lets go rotary!!
I´ll take the single Eurocopter on offer , and the three Augusta-Westlands next.

Cheers,

rgss

I'll be on Beechcraft and Bellagusta.
