Excellent! Thank you, again!

The website looks promising, but as charliearon pointed out, it's in Italian. So ... I'll have to take a pass.

Thanks, Vonmar. That's much easier, and it did work. For anyone else following this topic, on Simbrief, under the "Variant" dropdown menu, I chose "Aerosoft MSFS - Base Weight [credit: Awemeter]." I then followed Vonmar's directions and just went straight into the CRJ without loading weights or flight plan through the MSFS 2024 EFB but instead imported the OFP through the CRJ EFB, as Vonmer indicated in the post above.

Of course, without loading anything via the MSFS 2024 EFB first. Thanks. I'll try that and see if it works.

Interesting. If you're using MSFS 2020 and you aren't having a problem, it would appear that it's a problem related to MSFS 2024. In any case, yes, I used the CRJ's EFB after it loaded. After following the directions I posted earlier, I then entered all the info from Simbrief by hand myself using the CRJ's EFB, and I didn't have any issues. Hope this helps.

That "silly AI reply" actually helped, while the Aerosoft forum didn't--as others have already noted. Sheesh.

Whenever I plan a flight through Simbrief, I always use the MSFS 2024 EFB to load fuel, weights, and flight plan. For every other aircraft I own, importing fuel, weights, and flight plans works fine. For the Aerosoft CRJs, I initially did exactly the same thing as for all my other aircraft, but I would always get MZFW overweight issues that just couldn't be solved through editing the fields on the CRJ EFB. It was extremely frustrating. As others have noted, checking the Aerosoft forums was unhelpful, whereas googling what I did solved the problem. So ... to get the error and to answer your question, import via the MSFS 2024 EFB fuel, weights, and flight plan before you start your flight with one of the CRJs, and you will get the error.

I'm using FSHud along with AIG, but not the subscription add-on.

I struggled with this error, too. After a lot of frustration, I googled "aerosoft crj msfs 2024 exceed maximum weight"), and the AI overview response was as follows: "To fix the maximum weight error in the Aerosoft CRJ (or CRJ V2), avoid using the default MSFS menu. Instead, manage all weights and fuel exclusively via the aircraft's EFB (Electronic Flight Bag). Here is the exact step-by-step process to resolve the limitation: Zero Out in MSFS: On the main MSFS aircraft selection screen, set fuel and payload to 0 to start with an empty aircraft. Load the CRJ: Spawn at your departure gate in MSFS 2024. Use the EFB to Load: Open the CRJ's EFB tablet and navigate to the Weight and Balance page. Input your passenger count, cargo weight, and fuel load here. Send to Sim: Click the button to Load Aircraft (or "Send to Sim"). If issues persist, verify this step by clicking it twice to ensure the weights take effect in the simulator. Check Limits: The EFB will automatically flag or prevent you from exceeding the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW), Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW), or Maximum Landing Weight (MLW)." I didn't import the Simbrief weights at all, and I followed the steps above. I did use the Simbrief info (passenger count, fuel load, etc.), but I entered that info in the EFB myself. This worked for me, although YMMV.

I've been getting "server not available" timeouts for the past couple of days. I thought it was a problem with my ISP ... apparently not, by the look of things.

Happy Canada Day to you, too! It's a beautiful day here in Greater Vancouver as well, although it's not that hot ... around 20°C.

In order for this to work for me on MSFS 2024, I mapped the red button on my Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition to "Autopilot Off." I didn't map it through FSUIPC, just through MSFS 2024. As Farlis mentioned, you press the button twice to silence the chirp.

Also an Air Canada livery in the trailer.

Wow! Thank you, toby23! What a wonderful utility! I'm not at my flight sim PC at the moment (sitting on my sofa with my Macbook), but I'll be checking this out later today.

I agree with Bob: open a ticket or ask on the forum. By the way, I don't know if this is related or not, but there's a bug with the 777 when trying to download the weather on the tablet: when you try to do so, the response is "Unable to fetch weather, please confirm ICAO code." I recently ran into this myself. According to Mathijs on the PMDG forum, this is a known problem and PMDG is working on a fix.
