GSX entering cargo/fuel in LBS instead of KGs in PMDG 737-800
« on: February 06, 2025, 03:45:52 pm »
Good afternoon!
Please help me fix the refueling issue.
I did not change anything but at some point, the small Shell tanker started arriving on refueling and refueling me to 100%.
I use the latest versions of everything, Siembrief FP and progressive refueling.
FP check on the GSX startup is OK, don't have an idea what is wrong. I have to reload payload (yes and payload data is different from FP as well) and fuel from the FMC every time after GSX finishes refueling and boarding. Refueling to 100% is very long and annoying.
Thank you.

GXX doesn't try to refuel the PMDG 737 by itself because, by default, the airplane is flagged as having a custom fuel system ( "Show Fuel/Cargo page" option DISABLED in the airplane profile ), so GSX is not really refueling, but it's only reacting to the airplane refueling itself.

Of course, if you changed that settings, all bets are off, because the PMDG *cannot* be refueled by GSX.

Another thing entirely is the GSX automation, which will take the fuel from Simbrief and enter in the airplane FMC, which is an "indirect" way for GSX to "refuel" the airplane. Is not really refueling it of course, but it's using the fuel quantity from Simbrief to fill the payload page so, maybe this was the problem you were having ?

If yes, a GSX log for that session would clarify exactly what is happening, because it shows all numbers GSX read from Simbrief and what it has entered in the FMC to debug the problem.

Good day!
Here is the log.
I got the issue - GSX is entering fuel and cargo in lbs, and the aircraft and simbrief flightplan are in kgs.
In the log you can see cargo 2495 - it is cargo weight in kgs, but gsx enters 2444 + 3055 kgs (the sum is 2495 kgs in lbs).
Please clarify how to fix it. I failed to find any such setting in GSX.
Thank you.

Good day! Please clarify if you need additional time to solve the issue; it's been almost a month since the initial message, and I still require assistance. Thank you.
