Enjoying the ACJ series aircraft but noticing a couple issues. The iPad does not seem to reflect the fact that this is an ACJ when it comes to W&B and fuel loading. The corporate layouts should have fewer seats and potentially additional auxiliary fuel tanks. The ACJ319 should have a full fuel range in the 6000NM+ range (which would require 65,000-71,000(ish) pounds of fuel to accomplish with additional tanks. Both the default MSFS W&B and the iPad show capacity of 60,000lb as the maximum fuel (which is around 5700NM range). Also when I try to use the slider to load the aircraft with passengers, it seems to be modelled after the standard airliner layout as I can load up to 146 passengers. Also at the full fuel load, the ipad shows 134% fuel load. Some online resources indicate the additional auxiliary tanks could bring the total fuel up to 71,000lbs.
It would be really nice to see these features for the ACJ series, with appropriate options for additional fuel tanks. If this is too difficult, could the center tank volume be increased to allow for more fuel instead?
Also, I have A320 version 2.1.10 and I am still having issues with the center fuel tank exhaustion and No: 2 engine shutting down when the center fuel tank empties.
