Adding unusable fuel in aircraft profile

Unfortunately there is no option to define the amount of dead fuel within the aircraft profile. The only way to do this right now is adding an additional w&b station including weight&arm of the unusable fuel. Reduce amount of max fuel capacity in the profile to usable & everything will be fine. Any plans to exclude dead fuel in future releases?

P.s. please ad gasoline/diesel to fuel type options

I dont see the problem either. If the dry W&B does not include unusable fuel. Correct it with the arm and enter correct number into Skydemon. I see no reason for the software to cater for that.

PS: Apologies for the potential patronizing comment, my point was that the accuracy on the total W&B is not perfect, but I agree, why would you start with an error to  begin with.
