I reported this problem in the 'bugs' section recently, but it seems to have disappeared (not moved, just GONE!).  :-?  Anyway, in case I've broken some secret rule of posting, I'll try again here.

Is there a known bug of any kind within the ACE?  Mine won't apply the fuel and payload settings once I start MSFS.  That is: if I select, say, 45% fuel in all tanks, this isn't what I get according to FS2004/fs9's fuel setting panel.  Similarly, no matter what payload I select, once the sim loads, the Herc is always empty.  Am I missing the point here, or is the depiction of containers, guns, vehicles, etc, just for visual show in the ACE itself, and not within the cargo hold of the aircraft?

Just to point out - I AM using ACE correctly, as per instructions.  Fantastic sim, though, despite all the bugs.
