Whilst working on the RJ and F28 airliners that we’ve recently released for MSFS 2024, I’ve noticed that the fuel and cargo/payload values appear to be getting reset by the simulator when exiting and then entering the aircraft using Shift+C. I’m not sure if that has only started occurring post-SU1 release though.
That causes a significant issue for our aircraft, which use custom fuel and payload logic, controlled via our EFB tablet. Those values are being set once the WASM has detected that the user is in the cockpit (i.e. Shift+C has been used after starting C&D at a parking spot). If the user then exits the aircraft and enters it again (i.e. Shift+C twice), the simulator appears to have reset the payload to the default/max values given in the flight model.
For an aircraft like the F28, that can mean that it is above MTOW. It also means the user’s chosen payload is overridden and they have to set it again.
Has anyone else encountered that issue? I could come up with a convoluted workaround for detecting when a user exits and then enters the aircraft, restoring their previous payload values, but this seems to be a wider bug.
Thanks,
Martyn
