ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The EFB and Mass and Balance, which I believe is the only way to load aircraft is completely messed up.
If you enter custom payload and balance, what is shown on the EFB does then not match what is shown on the Fuel and Payload Screen in the Configure section.
In the shots I will upload you can see:
1st Shot:
Without and editing, the default state. Showing a current mass of 2090/2225 KG.
2nd Shot:
I have set the fuel and payload (seats and cargo) to how I want it to be in the in the EFB, giving a total of 2040/2300 KG
1st Bug:
How is the max weight different? 2300 in the EFB, but 2225 on Fuel and Payload screen in Configure… One can even see it in the background of this 2nd Shot. Clearly a bug.
3rd Shot:
The Fuel and Payload Section now shows 2281/2281 KG…
2nd Bug:
Where is it getting this from? Somehow it has changed the Max Weight to yet another value 2281 KG? How can there be three max weights…? Clearly a bug yet again.
3rd Bug:
I entered 2040 KG on the EFB not 2281 KG, so not only has is it showing the incorrect max weight, also the incorrect actual weight. Again clearly a bug.
4th Bug: Nowhere in the Fuel and Payload Screen or EFB Mass and Balance does it use any aviation terms, such as ZFW, Aircraft Empty Weight, Max ZFW, Max Gross Weight etc. etc. like you know, actual aviation terms. All we get is some gamey pie chart thing.
This is yet another clear regression from MSFS2020, when one could actually see these values.
5th Bug:
Nomenclature. Why is it called Fuel and Payload in the ‘Configure’ Page, and Mass and Balance in the EFB. It is just confusing and incredibly poor UI design.
In conclusion, it is a total mess. How can it be released like this? Not a single person changed the mass of an aircraft during testing of the sim? Or even looked at this page? How were the aircraft tested at different weights to make sure the flight model was accurate at different weights and CGs?.. Come on.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes happens with vanilla install.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time you try to use it.
