No reason, it still can and will continue to do so.

Ok, I moved this out of the 'Spring Updates' topic because it is not related to them in any way and don't want to confuse ppl.

The aircraft in question has 165,334 kg of fuel on board, left over after the last flight. adding 2 x 100,000 kg packages would put the aircraft above maximum takeoff weight, so the system is stopping you from overloading the aircraft.

So how do i ditch the extra fuel? I only meant to take 100,000 pound on last flight but somehow loaded 400,000 pounds. I think the sim reset the fuel weight after I loaded the cargo.

Right now there is no way for you to do it without doing a flight. In doing so you are throwing away valuable fuel. But I could edit it for you if needed.

i just did a short flight back to the same airport so I could load it with less fuel. It seems odd that the packages are limited by fuel since you can always adjust the fuel before the flight. The client wont let you take off over weight, so I don't see why the packages would even take fuel into consideration when loading.

its one of those things we added because somebody complained that they were required to dump fuel. Most of the time pilots plan for landing with appropriate reserve so loading to more than whats on the aircraft would mean they would not be able to carry an appropriate reserve.
