I have a 2,300nm ranged ac (DC6)  and have set up a route with a tech stop at 1,500 miles, going on circa 2,000 miles and it is still stating that my capacity will be limtedd to 35/55 seats.

Am I doing something wrong? Why will it not let me fly the flight with full pax?

What is the route and tech stop? Is it a runway restriction?  Need more information to provide proper feedback.

Cheers.

I tired a few, none worked, the last I tried was ORD-YQX-DUB

Also tired LHR,MAD,CDG etc

all have double the required runway from what I can see

Probably yes, but did you add both tech stops ??? One for the going leg and other for the returning one ?? (ORD-YQX-DUB-YQX-ORD)

Thanks! Thought it would do that automatically!

:P.. It also happened to me when I started experiment on that...

It doesn't make any sense when you tech stop because of range, but when you are operating with short runways, it's extremely useful (since you wanna tech stop as close as possible the short takeoff runway and probably only on just one leg)...
