FMS LBS Vs KG [SOLVED]

Featured Replies

Although the setup app has a measuremnt units option that can be set to LBS it appears that the FMS and aircraft fuel displays only work in KG.  Am I missing something here?

Make sure you make changes in the Load Manager from KG to LBS with the simulator not running.

Restart the Load Manager after changing units.

Very interesting. If true, this is a legacy issue from the original addon. Even if you selected LBS, the fuel gauge said KGS. However, if I'm not mistaken, the numbers shown were actually in LBS, it's just that they didn't model LBS in the cockpit texture. I may be wrong though

It is no longer an issue in this version. If you perform the change correctly even the blue KGS/LBS on the panel change accordingly.

I changed the load manager to lbs, but still have the blue kgs indication on the fuel gauge.

I've already restarted my sim several times, run the load manager as admin, etc.

Are you guys making the changes in the load manager with the aircraft loaded, and then reloading the aircraft?  That will reload the config file the Load Manager writes to and everything should be fine.

Best wishes.

Perform the change KGS /LBS in the LM with sim not running.

Keep us posted

I have the same issue. When changing from KG to LB, with sim not running, the fuel panel still shows KGS in blue. The pressurization does change correctly to IN HG however

Yes, everything done with the sim not running.

Same issue here. Still says KGS even thought it's showing the weight in LBS.

Did you make the swap in the Load Manage with simulator NOT running, restarted the Load manager as it suggests and THEN start the sim?

You dont need to reload the Aircraft. Simply go to the Add-Ons in the P3D menu bar at the top. Go to Maddog X and then click "Reload Cfg from LM"
