Description of the issue:
When scooping water or filling the water tanks via the tablet, a weight error occurs, resulting in a significant overload of the aircraft.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
All of time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
-
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
Or
- With tablet, 100% liquid and 50% fuel, select with cursor the weigth goes to 43 000 lbs, when you click on save the weight go up to 47 000 lbs.
MEDIA
Can replicate, here are the evidences:

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 (1687x4) :
Then you load the aircraft (save config) and weight calculation is now correct (6747 lbs), tanks weight did not change:
If you move back the slider to 0%, it shows 0 lbs in the tanks but weight says 1687 lbs:
Same problem here! Limit overload after water scooping sould be 47000LBS not 43000LBS.
Thank you for this report.
i tried missions in carrer mod and its very hard with this bug.
All the time the warning stall is active , and the engine power isn 't enought for take off on the water , So all the time we have a decrease value at the end on the mission , cause : overcouple, damage on the plane , cause crash (stall) etc.
I dont speak about the wind direction (if you respect the atc , doesn t work , and if you check the windwith alt-6 or 5 dont remenber) the wind direction and follow him before the drops , = failed too.
So Atc , winds direction , doens t work too.
Idk if It’s related to this bug but I’m able to complete all mission with the CL415, you have to play a lot with the flaps and the trim especially when scooping:
The missions let you scoop at any water point so you don’t have to follow their scooping location, the scooping phase will be triggered anywhere you touch the water
You have to land on the water with flaps 2, and keep speed around 75-85kts, dont’t let the plane dive in water or loose too much speed, when It’s fully scooped, increase power but stay in the green TRQ arc, stay flaps 2 and let the plane gain speed while you control the pitch axis, when reaching 90-100kts gently rotate, you have to be really smooth on the command, when reaching 105-110kts go flaps 1 and flaps 0 at 120, avoid short turns until you have a decent speed, my climb rate is usualy around 500fpm when fully loaded at flaps 0
Avoid leeside of the mountain when It’s windy and also use the flaps for loosing speed before the water drop (I also drop at flaps 2)
These missions are not easy but are doable
Thank for the advice ,). I need more training ( Mission for me succes too but with low monay and B note but many xp.. But do you know if we can decrease the sound of warning stall or AOA warning. ?
I checked the expert checklist but i don t find execpt test but doesn t work too.
Flaps erreur after alt+ N just before the scoope /automatic decrease
Atc respect rules /
Unrespect the lign./lol .All the time .
Final /alt+ n decrease the paiment. but increase the time , but doens 't work too.
I tried without alt+n maybe 45 -50 min. (time execution bonus = 0 and with alt+n (25 min ) = time execution 0 too.
Yep the execution time, as other jobs is still “bugged” or totally unbalanced depending of the missions etc..
I rarely use the skipping function but yes this bug is frustrating… and old..
Si tu es fr ce tutoriel à l’époque m’avait bien aidé quand je rencontrais les mêmes soucis que toi, ça couplé à quelques reportages sur les vrai canadairs, les procédures, les vitesses l’utilisation des flaps sont les mêmes que dans la réalité:
Thank for this link.
But i I saw in this video just before the drops some option doesn t actived ,) but its work too. lol . So Need more update for this plane.
Now i just stay at 90 nots for the scooping and its ok.Except the real Winds in portugal mission ( i took 100 knots in 2 second … Impossible way. 
and the beautifull scooping area .
