Thomas Franzi 1 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 good evening everyone. This serqa I noticed a problem with cargo weights the crj700 mail as cargo 2438 but the doubt came to me between simbrief the tablet and ncdu. In the sense that in simbrief by downloading the profile I found in this forum it allows me to enter up to 8.5 in cargo. On the ncdu I can manually enter only 1950 (I attach photos) While from the tablet I can enter up to the correct value of 2438. I wanted to try to create a correct simbrief profile but I don't know how to manage it given the discrepancy of the values that I can insert in the sail Can anyone help me ?

Crabby 28 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi Thomas A few years back I got really tired of chasing SimBrief+"Name of the Addon Here" equality. So I decided to fly based purely on ZFW. I match my aircraft profile in Sim Brief with the figures for my addon with regards to OEW, Max ZFW, Max Fuel, Max TOW and Max LAW. From there I plan all my flights regardless of addon with the cargo set to auto and generate the flight plan. For the CRJ I enter only the ZFW and fuel given by Simbrief and the weights end up matching within a few percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the CRJ specifically I use these profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Franzi 1 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hello and thanks for the reply. But the discrepancy between the aircraft tablet and NCDU is very strange if I would like to enter the flight plan manually without a tablet becomes problematic for the weights and the rest of the data. question but this discrepancy is normal, am I wrong with some calculations?

CRJay 428 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 No, the FMS not accepting more than 1950kg is wrong in this case. It should accept values even as high as 8000+ kilograms. I do not know the exact limit, but an educated guess would be maximum zero fuel weight minus basic operating weight = max payload. For example, in my company we almost exclusively use the cargo field in the FMS to enter our total traffic load (pax + cargo). The FMS does not care, it just adds whatever you enter to the basic operating weight to get a ZFW. It does no mass and balance calculations. I think perhaps for some reason, the cargo field in the FMS is limited to max aft cargo weight only? Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Franzi 1 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi, I really don't know why he behaves like this I don't think he only wants the previous one since 1950 would not be correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted July 9, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi Thomas, This is a known issue and it's already on our issue tracker. It will be looked in due time but unfortunately it's impossible to give any further estimates when fix would be available. Thanks for reporting it still though!
