Eagle7907 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 Am I crazy in thinking this data will be in the manual eventually? With an online manual you could even have a dynamic calculator; it’s been done before in FSX, if I remember right. So far HB hasn't indicated that they will provide or do anything to allow the player to know their CG. Could that change? Sure. Could they have everything they need? The chances are good. However, that could be a looooong time from now. I would guess they are more interested in getting TWS Auto, Jester LANTRIN, and many, many other fixes/features implemented before they touch something like CG. That's where a possible stop gap of me finding fuselage points for various things to compute CG come in. Yes, I know I still need the basic CG to complete it, but I am hoping that maybe HB could also provide something to help us with that. Who knows?

Eagle7907 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 If you can find empty aircraft CG, MAC length and MAC distance from the nose (or any other point), everything else can be calculated/approximated from that. Right. I got the FS points for many other areas, that actually shows the datum. Problem is the wing isn't a wing from a Cessna and is irregularly shaped. To get the mean we would have measure from the narrowest and the widest. Now, its obvious where its wide. Narrow? I dunno.
