In FS20, we used Weight and Balance to hide/unhide certain components in the aircraft (eg. weapons, attachments, etc.).
A weight of zero in any of these stations would hide the object while adding weight would render the object again through a simple visibility tag. However, in FS24 none of these station loads are showing up (there is no weight and balance menu anymore, and the EFB does not display any of the stations). As such, configuring weight stations isn’t possible anymore, and therefore this method no longer functions.
How is weight supposed to work now? Is it limited to pilots, characters and loads as defined on the Navigation Graph file?
Look through DA62 SDK sample to see how its been done.
In short, You still need station_load.N in your flightmodel.cfg but you then setup station in the navigation_graph_*.cfg’s
The pilot and/or copilot are set up in the navigation_graph_pilot.cfg.
Cargo stations are set up in the navigation_graph_cargo.cfg.
Fill these out and they will show up in the EFB to be loaded.
That’s clear, but as we should test the compatibility of MSFS2020 packages in MSFS2024 without applying any changes to make them working properly again, I think this is an issue
It may have been clear to you but you are not the OP. I did not think the OP was asking about compatibility, since this is a question in the 2024 section asking about how to do weight and balance, I answered how to do weight and balance.
If you would like to know how 2020 compatibility should work, make a bug report about not being able to change your weight and balance in 2020 packages.
