Subject: Maximum takeoff weight issue on the CL-415
I’m having an issue with the maximum payload on the CL-415. I am exceeding the maximum takeoff weight with only 25% fuel and 100% water tank capacity. I didn’t have this problem before.

You are right, calculation for the liquid load is wrong.
When you 1st enter the configuration, all good, it shows 0 lbs (tanks & weight) if no liquid is loaded:
The you load some liquid, let’s say 50%, calculation is wrong. It calculates 5060 lbs for the weight (tanks are ok) instead of 6747 lbs:
Then you load the aircraft (save config) and calculation is now correct (tanks & weight):
If you move back the slider to 0%, it shows 0 lbs in the tanks but weight says 1687 lbs:
I would recommend to create a bug report (using the template) with detailed steps on how to reproduce this issue with the liquid load.
