How can weights be auto populated in FMS ?

I don't think they can be at this point. You have to transfer them manually. You can use SimBrief Downloader to put the flight plan into the flight plan folder, then where it says Company Route type the two airports like this: KPDXKSMF. It will load the route minus SID and STAR.

Or switch to Kgs

@dadgametime yes. Thnx
Just seen in manual that only FW is needed and itgers are self populated !
So 1000 KGs are 1 metric tonne. Nice !
My brain isn't sharp as once was.
(BTW... Do you know if any Alaskan airlines ever used RJs ?
Hopefully a fictitious livery will turn up 😁
I love Alaska so much.
Hoping MSFS 2924 may have better scenery.)

My workflow so far has been switch SimBrief to Kilos in the dropdown, put in the Reserve and ZFW, along with winds, cruise and ISA deviation and hit Execute. Is there a way to switch simbrief to default to Kilos somewhere in their settings on the flightplan page?

You can change units on the flightplan page. Default can be set per airframe, since it pertains all the weights of the aircraft.
-
@sg_aviation how do you set it per airframe, is that by creating a new profile for that aircraft, i havent tried that before.
-
@Sergekoko Just go to Simbrief -> Saved Airframes. There you can either edit an existing aircraft or select New Airframe to create a new one based on existing performance profiles (The JustFlight Avros are already available).
The Airframe Weights section then contains Weight Units field.
