Bug description: There seems to be a logical error in the way the EFB and payload simvars can influence each other. Changing weight in the EFB is updating the underlying simvars. However when changing the weight by accessing the simvar of the payload station via code the weight displayed in the EFB does not update.

Hello @b1e1n7e

Isn’t this what is already reported here?

In the ticket I created in our backlog, I mentioned that the weight in the EFB is not updated when changing the payload station SimVar value via SimConnect.

Hey Boris,

if the bug is logged in the way you describe then the true extent of the problem should be documented. I was not sure because this bug report was created a long time ago and focused on the copilot specifically. Is there any current information on when a fix can be expected?

No, I don’t know yet when this will be fixed but I added this topic url to the ticket so when I have some news to share I will ping you.

Regards,
Boris
