December 21, 201015 yr Hey All,Having a little problem entering the zero fuel weight in the FMC on Tutorial two. Ive started over a few times but no luck! Every time i enter the ZFW of 430.0 it just says "Entry out of range" (See screenshot).https://srobinson.net/_downloads/fsxmd11fmc.jpgAny suggestions? :)

December 21, 201015 yr Author Check your weight indicators. I'm guessing it's a KG/LBS mismatch.(The link doesn't work, btw)Fixed the link! Silly me :(What do you mean by check the KG/LBS? Where am i checking this? It was setup correctly in the PMDG load manager app if thats what you mean? :)
December 21, 201015 yr What do you mean by check the KG/LBS? Where am i checking this? It was setup correctly in the PMDG load manager app if thats what you mean? :)You have the in-sim PMDG setting on KG, and you're trying to enter weight in LBS. Since the sim thinks you're trying to enter a weight in KG, your LBS entry is way too large. Go the add-ons menu (Top menu inside FSX), PMDG, then options. Change the weight indicators from KG to LBs and you should be good to go.

December 21, 201015 yr Commercial Member You're welcome....and to be honest, the only reason I know is because it happened to me. We've all probably done it. Kyle Rodgers
