I am using Navigraph so could this be a result?
Some assistance would be much appreciated as I am still learning the masterpiece that is PSX as well as BACARS, thanks!

oh... are you using LBS?  Have you tried dividing the Takeoff Weight by 2.2 and see if that works?

It might be that LBS is not converted to KGS before sending to the CARD system - something I can fix.

Ah, that makes sense. Gotta love the imperial system messing up everything lol. I'll check it out to see if that fixes it

Yup! It was LBS causing the problem, thanks for looking into this, kinda surprising knowing how long BACARS has been around
