I personally like realistic livery.ini configs and keep them as originally created. The biggest headache using TopCat and PFPX (prior to launching FS) is determining if the desired 737NGX variant is a single-class or mixed-class configuration. So when the PFPX OFP tells you C8 Y128, you load 8 first-class and 128 in Y class (coach), and match the cargo distribution from TopCat - your FMC weights will be a perfect, spot-on match. 175 lbs is what the 737 FMC uses when populating the 'seats filled' in the FMC. Don't use children or infants in your plans. PLEASE NOTE: In order for TopCat, PFPX, and the 737NGX FMC to match exactly, USE ONLY ADULTS, with weights preset to 175 lbs per adult, in the TopCat and PFPX preferences. I then loaded full passengers (no fuel) to record the ZFW for each class, then added full fuel (46057 all cases) and noted the MTOW. ![]() This was all calculated and recorded by loading 737 variants (both mixed-class and single class seating ) and zeroing-out the fuel and payload and then recording the basic FMC dry weight (DOW). I don't know if anyone might find this useful, but here is how I got TopCat + PFPX to match the weights used by the various PMDG 737NGX FMC's.
