How can I get Captain Sim ACE payload tool to work?

Hello, I have the Captain Sim Boeing 727 and I can't get the ACE payload tool to work. I am using Windows 10 64 bit and Steam version of FSX.

The tool will run just fine, but when I set up the payload I want and click save, it won't add the weights to the airplane's payload stations. I tried manually loading each station in the built in FSX payload tool which does work, however, if I load airplane the way I want, save the flight, then reload the flight, FSX doesn't save the payload changes I made. When I load a flight with the airplane, only the first 10 or so stations are loaded and the rest are set to 0.

This means every time I start a flight, or start from a saved flight, I have to manually enter in the weights for almost all 100+ payload stations every time which is extremely tedious.

I did try different compatibility settings for the ACE_727.exe file but nothing helped there and I'm not sure what else I can try that may get it working.

I also thought about just entering in the weights into all the stations in the aircraft.cfg file, but I notice by default, all of the weghts are already added to all of the stations in the aircraft.cfg file. So something must be overriding what the aircraft.cfg file says when I load the airplane in the sim.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks
