I can`t put in the ZFW manually, I tried like 72.6 tonnes as my ZFW was but it didn`t activate it.  Embarrassed

Is it a special format to do it on?  Roll Eyes

Like 72800, 72.8, 728.00 or something?

What format are the FMS weights in? The correct format is, say for pounds, 182.3, meaning 182,300 pounds. If yours is set up for pounds, 72.8 would be way too low and would explain why it’s being rejected.

You're correct, the FMS should definitely accept it if it is set up for KG. I guess someone at CaptainSim will have to help, sorry.

If memory serves me correct from my experience. (Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong) but I don't think you can manually put in the ZFW...You can adjust the payload to adjust the ZFW. I would like to manually adjust the ZFW if it's not possible. But it still is good to adjust something in the weights at least Smiley

I'm not sure if OP wants to manually put ZFW in the payload menu or if he wants to manually put it in the PERF menu. The message was unclear for where he needed it. That's probably where I got confused  Undecided

Thank you I know to put it in the PERF menu, but I mean to put in on the Payload Manager as I can do with another company, another company A320, FSLabs A320 and so on.

That the weight of the plane automaticly changes as well in the Payload Page Smiley
