Error in loading in correct ZFWCG value into MCDU from Simbrief - loads GWCGvalue instead

Featured Replies

Hi,

I wanted to let you know that when syncing the Simbrief OFP with the MCDU using the inbuilt EFB, the values in the Payload screen shown within the EFB are correct however when the sync with the MCDU is made and you move to INIT B of the MCDU, the incorrect CG value is loaded.

On my MSFS2024 sim PC this is 100% reproducible  and can also be seen in another person's YT video of setting up the MCDU in the A320 NEO.

Look specifically for the time events in the video:

At 18:45 where the OFP from Simbrief is synced, instant payload is selected and the values of 28.4% for the GWCG and 27.4% for the ZFWCG are displayed.

At 31:55 you will see the MCDU ZFW/ZFWCG values populate in the MCDU by clicking the RSK twice.
Here you will notice the ZFWCG value populates with the GWCG value and not the ZFWCG value.i.e. the ZFWCG should populate with 27.4% but instead populates with 28.4% within the MCDU.

 



Can someone else also reproduce these steps and if so, can this be fixed in a future update of the A320NEO?

Thanks
Mark
