Lbs to kgs and total weight

[swd282]

I find it odd that the load sheet is in LBS and does not show totals, but the FMS is un kgs.

Is there any way to change any of those? 

And how do I Get the total Weight?

FMS defaulting to KG was a bug, the units for the CJ is LBS and that will be fixed by default with the next update. 

I'll add the total weight to show on the load sheet to make it clearer with the next update, for now you can grab that exact value from X-Plane W/B menu.

Update will be vía Skuncraft?

Hello,
While waiting for the update, should we enter the values in lbs in the UNS or in kg?
Thank you for your response.

You can change the UNS units to lbs. Otherwise, you need to enter kg.

For anyone else checking here: the procedure to change the units in the UNS-1 is described in the UNS-1 manual that is installed alongside the plane

Hi, but in the W&B sheet, from the Citation 525 XP12 menu, how can I get the units into Kg ? 

It's displaying in LBS.

The manufacturer doesn’t provide data in kgs so the W&B is limited to lbs.

Ah, ok, I see, although it's a bit of a mess always having to use the calculator to convert from data in SimBrief to metric system ...

Easy peasy... Duh! (me) ...  In SimBrief simply choose LBS instead of KG :-)
