Which aircraft version are you experiencing this issue on? (You can find this listed in the Content Manager under the Aircraft Name)

It seems like all variants have this issue

Brief description of the issue:

If you change the FMS “Menu->FMS1->Init->Units->Weight” switch from ‘LBS’ to ‘KG’ it makes no difference to the weight figures displayed in the FMS. In these images the example is Estimated Fuel On Board (EFOB) in the FPLN page.
Note: it seems to be defaulting to a KG figure even though it initially says ‘LB’ The figure never changes, so LBS->KG conversion does not happen.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:



Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Load a std flightplan into the FMS, the estimated FOB will be listed as ‘LBS’. Go to Menu->FMS1->Init->Units->Weight and switch units from LBS to KG. The EFOB will say ‘KG’ but the numerical value stays the same regardless of unit chosen.
Note: it seems to be defaulting to a KG figure.

What measurement system do you have selected in the sim settings?

I’ll need to check if you mean the default base sim settings as I don’t often check that, I usually deal with fuel in lbs though. The aircraft centre MFD lists the fuel (correctly) in lbs, the EFB also is set to list things there in lbs. The FMS seems to have the figures stuck in KG, and it doesn’t change with the units option toggled.

I was wondering if you had metric or hybrid as the sim default, which “may” be a reason for it doing that!

Just checked and I’m set to ‘US System’. So feet, gallons, lbs and inches of mercury.
