Hi!
Would it be possible to set the “bag\_count” value to a custom one? It seems to be a 1 to 1 at the moment and it would be great if I could manually set the actual number of bags for a flight.

So in case anyone else comes across this, at vAMSYS we instead manipulate the bagwgt property to overcome 1-to-1 calculation;
Default bagwgt is 55 IIRC, so if 50% of pax have baggage we reduce bagwgt to 28 and send that in acdata

Holy necroposting from me!
But, GSX has now added the ability to read the “bag\_count” from Simbrief.
I think the ability to set a bag count, and keep the payload weight is really needed now.
Also given that I use a payload generator, that gives:
Pax Count (and weight)
Bag Count (and weight)
Cargo Count (and weight)
It’d be nice to be able to set these individually into the create plan page.
