Hi, the payload randomizer is linked to the departure time. This is so that the payload stays consistent if you go back and make minor edits to the flight plan. Changing the departure time by even 1 minute will result in a different passenger count. Best regards, ---

So, how can I change it to a more realsitic passenger count? ---

Hello, in your pax settings before you generate, make sure it’s set to auto. It should give you a better number. ---

The result is the same number (178) ---

Hello, do you have a saved airframe? Ensure that you have this set to AUTO and change the departure time just to test. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/2/9/29ca83f0132c3fbb75aa6e882a3280f77398f544.png) ---

I changed the Departure Time by a minute, and got 156 PAX from 176; I have it set to AUTO. ---
