Beta client using mtow with nothing loaded MSFS

Post by James_IL » Fri Jan 29, 2021 2:42 am

In MSFS in the cessna 208 I set fuel and cargo to 0 lbs and the beta client displays zfw at mtow so I cannot load any fuel or cargo to start flight.

Same thing happens in xplane 11.51 and with stable client also.

The client does not really look at the cargo loaded in the sim, it instead calculates it using the DOW from the database and the payload from the manifest. It does show the difference between the calculated ZFW and the ZFW in the sim but this is just informational so you can adjust the sim weight if you wish to.

After sleeping on it I realized I loaded too many packages onboard. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the reply.
