cconesa 2 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi, I trust you are all well and in good health. Some time ago a reported (on v1) that the EFB weights disagreed with the FMC and were not transmitted correctly. I have now updated the CRJ to v2.2 but the problem persists. The attached photos (CRJ1000) are self explanatory and the weights (pax/cargo) / ZFW are not transferred correctly to the FMC. Any update/correction in the works?. Regards, Christian.

Hoffie3000 96 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Only version 2.2.0.0 or have you update via experimental update to version 2.2.0.1? Wolfgang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cconesa 2 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have the experimental version 2.2.0.1 and numbers are still not correct. Using the ZFW option in the FB is even worse!. Christian. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffie3000 96 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Well, no wrong numbers here if I use the weights from your screenshot. Wolfgang Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted August 9, 2020 Developer Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think, he didn't copy the PERF DATA to the FMS. It's important to note that this is a one way function. You can set the passenger load in the EFB and transfer it to the aircraft and FMS PERF INIT page, by clicking the button, not vice versa. It's also not automatic. Data will only be transferred if you click SET PAYLOAD IN SIMULATOR and COPY PERF INIT DATA TO FMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cconesa 2 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I tried it separately (i.e. went to the "change to ZFW" option and inserted the 34.000KG ZFW but for some reason it loaded completely different numbers. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did transfer the date to the "Set data in the simulator" and "copy performance ini to FMS" via the buttons and the data on P3D was correct but incorrect on the FMS.

cconesa 2 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I just noticed the discrepancy on the BOW weight. My installation sets the BOW weight as 23.159KG (but it is detailed as 54.000LB in the aircraft.cfg file, which divided by 2.2 = 24.545KG). I suspect the FB installation or the aircraft has the incorrect empty weight. Where is the actual data for the FB or where does the FMS get the empty weight from? Please login to display this image.

cconesa 2 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I have found the culprit!. There is a file in <<C:\Users\"user name"\Documents\Aerosoft\Aerosoft CRJ Pro>> named FMS.CFG with these values: [FMSDefaults] DOW_550=44731 DOW_700=44731 DOW_900=48790 DOW_1000=51055 The last one being the CRJ1000 51055 = 23159KG when converted. I modified that number to 54748 and problem solved = 24.834KG and the FMS now received the correct input from the EFB. Why did my copy of the CRJ have these FMS.CFG values?. I do have the latest version, including the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffie3000 96 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I would say there is something wrong in your CRJ installation: I find my CRJ folder here: C:\Users\username\Documents\Aerosoft\Aerosoft CRJ Pro v5 [FMSDefaults] DOW_550=45749 DOW_700=45749 DOW_900=48749 DOW_1000=54749 I have the same CRJ installation as you have vor 13 Stunden , cconesa sagte: I do have the latest version, including the beta.

Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted August 10, 2020 Developer Share Posted August 10, 2020 Damn.... Sorry. It seems that I didn't copy the updated FMS.cfg file from the v5 to the v4.5 folder. Mea culpa. Please replace your FMS.cfg with this one: I'll make sure that it gets fixed in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOW_550=44731 DOW_700=44731 DOW_900=48790 DOW_1000=51055 And I use P3D v4+. I have modified my FMS.CFG file to the correct numbers when I spotted the error, anyway. Regards.

cconesa 2 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 My guess is that they should, in fact, be: [FMSDefaults] DOW_550=45748 // 45000 per aircraft.cfg + 748 (crew) DOW_700=45748 // 45000 per aircraft.cfg + 748 (crew) DOW_900=48748 // 48000 per aircraft.cfg + 748 (crew) DOW_1000=54748 // 54000 per aircraft.cfg + 748 (crew) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
