WBcoeffs.ini

Post by Scorpi1987 »

Hi there , currently iam working on the implementiation of the MSFS model in Jeehell

some has the issues that the Weight&Balance calculation is wrong with my Flightmodell.

and the only that ive found what can fix it is the WBcoeffs.ini... but i dont know what the fields mean...

Can somebody explain it for me ?

Those are used by my soft to compute a CG position from the real acft data.
I then use the CG to update fake weight stations to have the correct CG in P3D.

I don't have the time to play with that sorry... it should be possible, you mostly should change the values with "_FS_ft" ending.
if you compare with the aircraft.cfg from my package you should get an idea about it.

Thanks for the tip :-) Ive found out the Values, and modified it with them from MSFS modell.. but i has no effect in CG calculation in MCDU :(
Ive inserted the original Station.Load points with edited Datum References in the MSFS, thats strange but i dont give up :D
