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.

Andy:

Mine does not work properly either. The cargo load works but the fuel load does not. This problem is actually mentioned by one of the reviewers (on AVSIM I think) as not working properly. I assume they are working on a fix ??? But I don't know.

Oh, and the cargo load depictions in the ACE are just that (I think) as I do not see any actually containers in the hold. But as I said, the proper "weights" show up in FS.

Thanks, Murray.

Wonder why they 'ditched' my original reporting of this in the bug section?    Anyway, somebody knows about it now, so let's hope they get around to fixing it, some day.  It doesn't matter too much at present.  Still lovin' my Herk'.

Capt Sim,

In reference to your reply above, does this mean you will send a fix for the ACE fuel config to our e-mails?  If so, I would like to have this as I have the same problem as stated above.

Thanks ~

There  answer is now here: http://captainsim.com/cgi-bin/kb.pl?qid=414.

I get the exact same results as Murray.  The only way to get the Fuel, and Payload to go in, is to Save it, and to Fly Now.  Additionaly, the cockpit section on occasion will not remember its settings when I open it, where all the other sections will.  Not a big deal, just thought I would mention that.  

And I get a 'List out of bounds' error when loading the last added aircraft in the list after a while.  I have to remove it, and re-add it.

Hello CS!

If you have read my last post in this thread, could you please respond. It is a little troublesome for me to keep checking this forum to see if you have responded.

I am not too concerned if this feature works or not. But, if you tell me/us what you are planning, at least I can get on with it and not have to waste my time here.

Thank you in advance for your response!

Hey, thanks! That does indeed work.    Big timesaver.
