FMS FUEL MGMT page always auto-fills?

[Captain Bakon]

I noticed that the fuel management page on the FMS always autofills the following parameters, PAX, CARGO, and PAX WT.

I am never able to enter these manually, are there weight sensors in the real plane or is this a bug/feature?

Neither, actually. They are not auto-filled, they are set to a default value, just like the real plane. You can enter your own values just by typing in the scratchpad, and then transferring the value with the appropriate line select key.

Actually, the pax number and cargo weights are auto filled based on what you put in the weight and balance on the tablet.

Yeah it does that to me every single time, done 13 flights so far

Oh, you're right! Look at that. How nice of me. It will only do it when the system is powered on, so any changes to the payload after powering on the CDU will have to be entered manually.

I've added a tablet option for you in v1.2 to disable payload auto-fill on the CDU. Enjoy!

Ah Sweet! Absolutely excited for 1.2
