[E-Jets v2 EMB 195 over gross weight problem]

The answer is that you have either too much load on board to carry that much fuel, or too much fuel on board for that load.

It's always a balance with aircraft, because their MAUW (maximum all up weight) is almost always too low to allow them to fill the tanks, fill the seats and go - it doesn't matter if you're in a four seat GA or an 800 seat megaliner. Unfortunately, FSX will only ever fill the tanks unless you set up a custom start flight with less than 100% fuel and most developers fill the seats on an aircraft, so you are flying with maximum zero fuel weight (ZFW).

It won't be solved by reinstalling - you'll need to either reduce the load or reduce the fuel on board before you can fly.

So, I guess my question is two-fold:

(1) why does this only start happening when acceleration is installed.

And (2) if these aircraft are always unable to carry 100% fuel and an almost full load of passengers/cargo, why doesn't this occur on the feelthere 175, or the feelthere ERJ's?

[E-Jets v2 EMB 195 over gross weight problem]

Hello all,

 

Ever since I installed FSX acceleration, then the E-Jets V2, when flying the 195, FSX always seems to think it is over gross weight (see attached screenshot) whenever the aircraft is loaded up with 100% fuel and default payload (didn't change any settings in EMB control panel application). I tried reinstalling the E-Jets V2 package, with no success. This didn't happen before I installed Acceleration.

 

I was wondering if anyone might have a solution for this problem?

 

My specs/software are:

 

2.6ghz MacBook Pro w/Retina Display with 16gb ram and 1tb SSD

FSX + Acceleration + SDK

E-Jets V2

ERJ V2

Aerosoft Airbus X Extended

RAAS Pro (locked version that came with Airbus X Extended)

FSRecorder

FSUIPC (unregistered)

 

Otherwise, this is a pretty much fresh FSX install, no tweaks.
