Taxi Fuel not removed from Take-off Weight?

Hi - using iOS SD 2.7, trying to reconcile the W&B calculation on Sd with my manual one. It seems like SD doesn't remove the taxi fuel (3usg in my case) from the take-off weight?
So effectively the calculated weight is the ramp weight.
This taxi fuel SHOULD be removed. It is only used to check that the weight is below the maximum ramp weight - which it would be great to add to SD… Also please add Maximum Landing Weight, to confirm that after the trip the plane weights less than that!
Thank you!

You're right, the result labelled takeoff should be labelled startup. We will correct this in the next version of SkyDemon. Thank you for pointing the error out.
