Hi I am not sure if I am doing the weight correctly in FBW A32NX.
I load my flight plan from simbrief in the MCDU, I then go into ATSU, AOC menu then W/B load my fuel which shows correctly. I then go to page 2 press request send and start boarding..now my question is do I have to go into the toolbar and enter the payload as well. Or will the payload automatically load onto the Airbus. I ask this because when I go into the toolbar the payload weight is different to the weight setup in the MCDU.
Don’t use the MSFS loading screen. Use the MCDU (second page of the AOC W/B page in the MCDU) or use Simbrief import. It also can load the plane according to your settings there.
But, how about this:
When I load the Fuel by the EFB (using numbers from SimBrief’s OFP) and the W/B via MCDU linked to Simbrief, my final Gross Weight doesnt match the one in the OFP.
Is a problem with my airframe maybe? I do use one made by easyjetsimpilot (youtuber).
Maybe that airfraime doesnt match FBW’s anymore?
Which airframe is match to match FBW’s A32NX?
For the payload, you also have to wait for the “boarding” to complete before the correct ZFW/COG will automatically load into the INIT page. Apparently it only sends the current numbers (i.e. with not everyone aboard) instead of the calculated final numbers. That’s… super-annoying. Of course you can always just put the numbers in yourself…
That’s in the works for being changed. You will also have the option to use different boarding rates (instant, fast, or real) along with some other changes.
Also, the request fuel quantity (from the autoload of simbrief) on the MCDU INIT B page will come in incorrectly, you must manually enter this from the lower EICAS fuel display quantity.
