Hmm - then may i suggest you download the sdk. It has all files for FL (ini files that is) pre-decompressed for you. At that point you can open them using a text editor (like notepad).
Find that here

okay - install that - seeing this thread might help you install it if unsure. Don't worry about it mentioning the Train, its got a picture part further down on how to use the SDK install......

Once you install that - you can open the ini files with notepad or something like that. Then you can read and edit to your hearts content.

Okay - next up - use the Newbie Questions thread after this (stickied up above) as it holds answers to these questions. The SECOND thread holds links and an index to the FIRST thread!! So go to the second to save time searching for stuff.

Anyway - you are looking for this in the shiparch.ini file(data\ships\ folder)

The bold line is how much it can hold. Change it to 200 or more if you wish! (limitless).Then save the file (best to just click save otherwise you have to make sure its not going to save a text file!!!!

That's it.

Hope that helps

Yup, just change that value to your heart's desire.

But remember, if you try this online, the server will pick up the extra cargo added and give you a mighty kick off the server

That is because you moded a mod... you can only do that if you are the one that created that server... ie server admins only...
