MVAMS & DHC-2 Beaver & DHC-2 Beaver Expansion Pack - observations with cargo loads

[CitMusJoe]

Hello,

As this is my first posting I want to thank MV for all the artpieces you spent us!

I've installed _all_ latest versions of MV_DHC2_Beaver, MV_DHC_Beaver_ExpansionPack as well as the latest Wx-radar version. MVAMS got installed itself automatically. Also the latest Redistributables installed.

I've also carefully payed attention to prerequisites, system requirements and follwed _all_ advices (Antivir OFF, InstallAsAdmin, UAC OFF etc).

I'm using Windows 10 Home 64bit with Intel i/-6700K CPU 4GHz, 32 GB RAM, Nvidia Gforce GTX 1080 graphics card SSD-drive for system, another seperate SSD-drive for P3D v4.5 (including hotfix).

All in all: All my system (Windows, Prepar3D4.5 with hotfix and Milviz-software) are up to date!

As requested by Milviz here are the following infos:

So, now to the problem:


Some observations:

1. When I try to load "Cargo D" in the DHC2 Cargo model I can see this only for a short period of time. At the next view or keypress (e.g. spacebar or Cursor left key) the "Cargo D" is suddenly hidden, although the weight remains untouched (confirmed via P3D4 menu). This occurs in both, internal and external views.
It also makes no difference if the current used DHC2 model is 'Float' or 'Straight Float'. Other models I didn't test as I use them less often.

2. When Aircraft (DHC2 Float or DHC2 Straight Float version) is setup with max loads via MVAMS the aircraft get overloaded, without any warning.

3. I also ask myself if it is allowed to change the weights inside P3D or only via the 'Add-ons/DHC2' menu inside PrD4? BTW, I only looked up the values 'injected' into P3D4 via certain configurations set in this mentioned DHC2 menu.

Can anyone else confirm this strange-load behaviour that always hides already loaded 'Cargo D' too? In P3D4 itself the DHC2 menu item reads: 'Toggle load at Station D'. It is the same as in MVAMS when you set the default load of the DHC2 Cargo-model to 'Cargo D'.
No probs at all when loading 'Cargo C'.

I've tested this behaviour also with a fresh install of all 2 DHC2 versions and without any 3rd party livery. The same result.

Hope there is a workaround or a final solution for this as this is my most important bush vehicle.

Thanks in advance for any hints

The indications are that we have a backend glitch, that said its taking some time to figure out what exactly , In the meantime omit a load on d while we trace the issues cause .
