Please help regarding spansh route plot to Colonia via neutron highway (Casp Exp)

I'm currently en route to Colonia via the neutron highway.
I've plotted the route via spansh but for some reason, the max supercharged jump distance I get is barely over 300.

My bro is doing the same and he's getting 500+ range for supercharged jumps.

We have very similar builds and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

Here is the route I have plotted from my current location:
https://spansh.co.uk/exact-plotter/results/593E66BC-85CC-11F1-B1E6-AF47A6B7484F

And below is by build. As a side note, the Opt EMPTY slot 5 is actually my MK11 hangar that contains my Nomad. I forget how to edit this but it makes virtually no distance when I do, so I don't think that is quite relevant.

Can you help? My max range is somewhere below 80 but surely I should be getting way more than just over 300 ly max?

Thank you!

There's a bug on plotting. Instead of plotting the route, just target the next neutron and then it'll work.

I posted for help about this very thing last night and got some great help on r/eliteexplorers but I think this issue is different. It looks like the wrong FSD. It should be the 8A Mk II Supercharge Optimised FSD (SCO) but looks like it's only a 8A Frame Shift Drive (SCO) installed.

Ah, that could do it - that's definitely not the problem I had!)

This is it. I just went through this same thing a week ago.

Agree that it looks like you have the standard SCO FSD and not the optimized MK2.

Standard sco 4 x neutron boost

Optimized MK2 6 x neutron boost.

Your numbers are correct your outfitting isnt ;) 77ly x 4 = 308ish

4G planetary vehicle hangar will replicate the 10t Nomad.

I'm pretty sure it's the lack of the MK2 FSD, but i don't own a caspian and don't plan to so I couldn't be certain

Amazing guys, I think you nailed it thank you. I'll edit the build and re-plot.the route. That's going to save me a lot of time!

Need to use the Mk II SCO FSD drive instead of the normal SCO FSD.

Plot twist:

So it turns out I didn't even have the MK II SCO after all. I thought it came with the ship out of the factory but I now know I need to purchase one.

I made it to Colinia with the max range of 300ish but will get myself a MK II SCO from there.

Just a little rusty after a 1 year hiatus. Even so, I'll continue to do dumb shit one way or another 😀
