Is there any chance we could get a full tutorial on how to use the payload editor? Perhaps just use one of the default planes to explain the
process step by step showing how to take the info from the cfg file and apply it to the payload editor? (Obviously some items require a bit
of research - but most light planes have individual stations for each passenger so they can be pulled right from the cfg file).
I am a bit confused on a few things - all on the station locations.
It says "distance in Feet from Center of Gravity". In the aircraft.cfg file there is a empty C of G location listed - plus the stations for the
passenger locations (I'm using all light GA aircraft). So what I have been doing is finding the distance from the empty C of G to the station
in the aircraft.cfg file and using those values for my stations. Is this correct? Also I assumed that the Z axis is down the length of the
plane - nose to tail and Y is height - wheels to roof. Is this correct?
Also when FS Passengers edits an aircrafts cfg file to add the required locations - does it edit the existing stations? Do the new stations
have weight? How are the stations made in the payload program implemented?
Thanks in advance,
