Hi, I'm pretty new to FSP. I'm working my way up the career mode, so I need quite some time in a single prop. I'm quite fond of Eric
Dantes freeware Robin DR400/180. I couldn't find a payload model so I decided to give it a try making one from scratch. I have been
reading and searching alot in the forum. I have come up with a payload model which seems ok to me, but there is a few things I'm
unsure of:
1 Do I have to make changes to the aircraft.cfg's weight and balance section, if I use other values for the loading positions or is it enough
to change the values in the load editor program? (It ssems to me, FSP will use the values from the editor and ignore all values from the
cfg file)
2 Is the "Z" value in the editor the value for how long fore/aft the loading point is, and Y the sideways value ?
3 Am I doing something wrong since I can never use the first loading station, unless I have a full load for the plane, it will always start
from the highest number ?
With regards to the threads about flight crew, I have used a little alternative pacement of the loading stations for a better flexibility. It
seems to work ok, but I would be very happy, if one with more experience with the program would take a look at it, to see if I'm on the right
track.
I have added a screen shot of my progress..
