Hi everyone, I am using latest release of P3D ver. 4.1.7.22841 and PMDG 737 NGX 1.20.8465 Fresh installation of everything and P3D just loaded with PMDG 737, clean fresh start and... here it goes... My weird problem is the following, basically 737 NG loads correctly and after a few seconds the airplane sinks into tarmac !!! If crash detection is disabled the airplane rattles and bounces instead, up and down increasingly. After searching I have found that some other user are experiencing a similar problem however I have never found a correct solution for this issue. Investigating myself I found that the cause of the problem is that the GW increases itself automatically well above the MTW... up to 1585.1 way above the 174 oficial MTW , total level shows 2290.8 % , crazy stuff. Not only the CDU, the EFIS display shows as well weird numbers with a total fuel of 1459.7 and the main and center tanks as well. so it looks like the airplane somehow thinks that it is 9 times heavier that the MTW , no doubt it sinks into tarmac. once that happens, it does not matter if a set fuel to full, 2/3 or 1/3... all fuel figures are still wrong after that point regardless. the rattle and bouncing stops after the fuel amount is reset in the CDU confirming the airplane thinks is actually lighter in weight, i.e. fuel set to full and the main tanks show 668 lbs instead of 8628 lbs although total level reads 99.8 %... so after a few minutes airplane runs out of fuel , pathetic !!! I have screen shots but I could not find how to insert them here. PLEASE, anyone can put light into this? much appreciated mates regards Ali
