No. I abhor censorship. Please just understand that most, if not all, Canadians, are very sensitive about what we perceive to be repeated unjustified threats to our sovereignty. The trade war is no joking matter for us. That's all that I'll say, as I wouldn't want this thread to be locked down due to wandering off-topic into the political realm.

Sorry ... not funny.

Monty Python's parrot sketch captured this perfectly: "pining for the fjords" and "bereft of life, it rests in peace."

Well, the standard word for the metal is "aluminum" in Canada and the US as well, as you can see in this Government of Canada website concerning Aluminum Facts (https://natural-resources.canada.ca/minerals-mining/mining-data-statistics-analysis/minerals-metals-facts/aluminum-facts). "Aluminium" sounds very British English to me, as does "maths" ("math"), "lift" ("elevator"), "flat" ("apartment"), "boot" ("trunk") ... and numerous others. At least we Canadians still use "-our" spellings, as in "honour" and "neighbour." What irritates me is when I'm with my wife or in a group at a restaurant and then being addressed as "you guys," as in "how are you guys this evening?" I find that this occurs here in Canada as well as in the US.

In Canada, we use "washroom" or "bathroom," never "restroom." When I used to go to the US, whenever I'd ask in a restaurant where the washroom was, I'd get blank stares, especially farther south than Washington state.

Ugh. As a Canadian, I sometimes hear "zee," but for the most part, I think the great majority of Canadians say "zed." I sure do.

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.
