[BUG] MCDU does not update ZFW/ZFWCG #1720

All versions

Describe the bug If the payload is changed at the gate (with the shortcut / menu on top), the MCDU keeps the old values, inserted with the MS flightplanner before starting the flight.

To Reproduce

  1. Plan an flight (or not) and keep the weight&balance as it is (check and remember the ZWF and CG there)
  2. Start the flight at a gate
  3. Power up the cockpit (ext power or APU). Don't make any input to the MCDU.
  4. At gate, change the payload via the top menu button
  5. Go to the INIT B page in the MCDU and push the ZFW/ZFWCG button
  6. Check ZWF and CG which is given there and compare.

Expected behavior MCDU should update ZFW and CG after changed.

Actual behavior see above

Additional context

Was this working before/when did the issue start occurring? I think this never worked. Could be also a vanilla problem. I even don't know if this can be solved with the possibilities of FWB.

I'll second this.

Should it? Doesn't the entry require manual input irl?

donstim commented 3 years ago

Yes, but if you (we) are going to allow the easy double click option (which I support), shouldn't it use the correct current values?
