CG is too far forward with a full load of fuel and passengers

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

1. Set Fuel to 100%
2. Set cargo/passenger load to 100% (or anything over 12%)
3. Get “CG out of limit” warning. No adjustment of the “Empty CG Position %Mac” slider will fix this
4. Unable to keep the nose up during landing approach even with full nose-up trim due to the CG issue

Same problem here. The values should be adjusted so that most of the weight is in the cargo and passengers.

The passenger weight alone should go up to 39,420 lbs (this is 219 180lbs passengers).

If you type in values manually you can get a realistic weight distribution, but the main payload slider should be adjusted to load the plane more sensibly. For example, the “Crew” weight area makes absolutely no sense that it is loaded as equally as the entire economy class area.

Handy tip. Add weights and fuel etc once sitting in the cockpit. Fs has several weight systems inplace and doesn’t always choose the right one.
Spawn in at the gate then add fuel and weight it will sort it out 90% of the time

Not in this case, if you move around the slider on the ground you get the same results as changing it in the world map.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

same as OP. The payload slider is on 0.51% when you load a flight in. Sliding the payload slider up and the aircraft front loads too much. This is not aided by the CREW load figures increasing to same values as the BAGGAGE with the payload slider which makes no sense. Manually removing weight from crew and forward baggage restores aircraft balance.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

initial load 0.51%

After payload slider up to 57%, crew weight is same as baggage and CG way off, front loaded.

manually decreasing crew and front baggage weights restores CG/balance
