COG once again

Print Post  
Hi all

Once again I'd like to bring up this subject....
Since the FMC doesn't calculate the cog by itself I'd like someone to help me out here.

Yes, I know that fspassengers can do that for me but I don't have it.
I've looked in all documents that came with the aircraft but still nothing..

Are there anybody who actually knows how to calculate the cog? or some add on that might help.


Kindest regards,
Kristian Nørregaard

you can always check with the fuel and payload tab from fsx itself...cog will be the percentage of whatever the crosshair occupies counted from the nose of the aircraft and a total of 32 i think..so if the crosshair is at the 16th line from the top then its 16*100/32 which is 50%..and so on....
i am not sure on the amount, i just think it's 32 from the datum, you may want to confirm that forst
hope that helps.

Also, if you use FSPassengersX, check the manifest portion of the FSPX kneeboard.  It has all your weights (even ZFW) and your CG%
