ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: Some programmer added limited weight per seat for ALL planes but the Baron G58 is worst. This limit exists for most civil airplanes (that I looked at). While configuring the plane’s in preflight, seating, fuel, etc. I noticed the LIMIT of weight PER SEAT is 175 lbs.
Nowhere in the POH does it state any weight limit “per seat”. The only section labeled weight limits refers to weight between seats, see POH below. The only weight limit is that of the plane CG limits that is calculated based on weight locations, but not a per seat limit.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Always, I noticed this in SU4. Not sure how long it existed.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
Configure weights before flight and/or EFB.
YOUR SETTINGS
If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

Just to be clear. Airplanes have a total weight limit, not specific to any one seat. It is discriminating to any pilot weighting over 175 lbs.
The only Exception may be smaller planes with one or two seats where your CG is critical i.e. Pitts Special.
It baffles my mind that someone thought to put in these “per seat” weight limit, making this major departure from reality.
