I operate around 500 DC10-c and am replacing them with md11-c. However there is a major problem, due to the MD-11 having higher range, many payload are going from weight limited to volume limited. This produces a really strange effect where even if I selected 30%/40%/30% for each respective cargo capacity, in reality I get something like 10%30%60%. This already happened on closer range dc10-c for me which are get to 50%30%20% which results in an even splitting of cargo capacity.
Now I have to edit thousands of routes to adjust these cargo capacities unless I dont want light cargo.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this without editing thousands of routes? Also I feel like the way something is calculated is very strange since I did select 30%40%30% cargo by mass and got something completely different. I feel like the way this is calculated is flawed since what it actually ended up doing is splitting demand by volume and that's misleading and not really correct. The calculation method should be smarter to always split cargo capacities to the percentages specified and take whatever payload it can according to those percentages, to avoid this kind of issue.
Any thoughts?
