Co-pilot Weight

[Sender46]

I don't know if the co-pilot's weight is intended to be automatically added when enabled in the EFB but it does not show in the Fuel/Weight page unless manually added.

@Sender46 said in Co-pilot Weight:

not show in the Fuel/Weight

According to the manual, it's weight should be added automatically, but I don't know if this works and even if that weight is visible in the weight&balance dialog.

[Sender46]

@copper As far as I know, the Fuel page is the only place that shows the weights. That's where I'm saying it's not showing.

Unfortunately this is another SimConnect based feature that got broken by the MSFS update. We are working to find a solution but might need to wait for Asobo to fix SimConnect.

[Sender46]

Thanks for letting us know that, Martyn.

I can confirm that the co-pilot weight is now being set correctly based on your EFB selection but that unfortunately is not reflected in the fuel and MSFS fuel/payload pop-up display (P2 slider).

@Martyn Enabling / Disabling the copilot using the EFB during flight has absolutely NO affect on the weight and balance of the aircraft...? But, it does make the copilot appear and disappear from within the cockpit, as it should. The copilot does not appear in the external view at all.

[Sender46]

@RetiredMan93231 I don't think the co-pilot would be getting in and out during flight

[RetiredMan93231]

@Sender46, No, the copilot wouldn't normally bail out... but, it is a good way to confirm if the copilot weight is actually being added to the aircraft...

To clarify, by 'now' I mean after changes made here that will be included in the next update.
