Three preset aircraft loads are available:

-Empty No passengers at all.
-Full Full passenger load.
-Random Passenger load is determind by a random number generator
The seating can be manually changed by clicking each seat. A blue figure shows a male
passenger (185lbs / 84kg), a magenta figure represents a female passenger (155 lbs / kgs)
and a green figure a child (90 lbs / 41 kg). Clicking a seat toggles between male female
child and empty seat.
To change the cargo load, click the minus and plus buttons to the left and right of the
current cargo compartment weight.
If the total zero fuel weight (ZFW) is higher than the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) resulting in a negative maximum fuel weight the ZFW and max. fuel weight are displayed in
red color.
Cockpit Units lets you select between kilograms and pounds for the fuel indicators. It
doesnt change the units used in the FMC (always tonnes) though.
Three buttons can be found at the bottom of the Configuration manager window:
-Reset Resets the configuration to the factory default
-Save Saves the current configuration
-Exit Exits the Configuration Manager Aircraft Startup determines the state of the aircraft

when its loaded.

Autopilot and Yaw Damper

Normally moving the yoke disconnects the autopilot and moving the rudder pedals disconnects
the yaw damper. Due to technical issues, this functionality is not available in the current version.
FMS Keyboard Input
Defines a key which toggles keyboard input mode for the FMS. This was fixed to Scroll Lock in
FS2004 but has been changed since FS X opens the ATC window if Scroll Lock is pressed.
Volume Settings
Set the volume for additional (non-FS) sounds
NAV/GPS Toggle Switch
Enable this option if you want to use the FS default or third party GPS instead of the FMS.

-High Quality uses 32-bit textures which look better but load slower
-Standard Quality uses DXT3 textures which look not as good but load faster
