    You don't have to calculate it, you can just use the cheat code to insert the correct value into the (M)CDU scratchpad for you. On the Perf Init page or Init A page use the line select next to the ZFW field with an empty scratchpad. The correct value is then inserted to the scratchpad. Press the same LSK again to insert. So effectively just double press the LSK next to an empty box to fill in the right value.

    External apps or ChatGPT may just give you wrong data or data not suited for Aerofly FS.

    Does the trick change depending on the route? I want to feel the plane being loaded.

    Currently the physical mass of the plane does not change so the numbers represent the correct values for every flight.
