EFB Quick Fill function can severely overload the aircraft

[MSFS 2024] Bug Reports Aircraft
1

Version: 1.1.10.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low

Marketplace package name: N/A

Context: All HPG aircraft, in flight, on the EFB, Mass & Balance page.

Similar MSFS 2020 issue: No

Bug description: The EFB -> Mass & balance -> Seats -> QUICK FILL function will offer to overload the aircraft considerably. Values over 7% are unusable.

Repro steps:

  1. Load H145
  2. Press TAB to open the EFB
  3. Navigate to Aircraft → Mass & balance → Seats.

Actual: The QUICK FILL function can load the seats with over 20,000lb of payload.
Expected: Quick Fill should limit to avoid exceeding max weight.

For this aircraft it is configured as such:

max_gross_weight = 8157 ; lb
empty_weight = 4310 ; lb

Showing fully loaded at 7%:

Showing at 100% the aircraft is around 2x its total max weight:

I guess this one might be too close to an end-user issue. Presumably the EFB should follow the config, and perhaps there are values that I need to have set other than max_gross_weight, so I’ll leave the report.
