Can anyone walk me through how to change the Weight and balance page units to metric? This needs to include all weights in kg, fuel quantities in litres with specific gravity of 0.721 and moment arms in metres.

Is there a chance to get the metric units for the weight and balance in the future?

That is the way i do it, until i wait for "Monday"

Just open the Aircraft AFD File with an Editor, chance the Units:
WEIGHT_UNITS, kg
LENGTH_UNITS, cm
LIQUID_UNITS, L
LIQUID_DENSITY, 0.721

Put in the Empty weight of your Aicraft and use a calculator to transform the given units into metric units.
Than save the File and update your EFIS with it.
That is the way i have done it, and it locks like it is working
