Setting the CG value in the CDU and then trying to interpret the graphical value has always been a bit of a guessing game for me.
I recently started programming XML gauges and came up with this simple but useful gauge to address this issue.
How it works:
You simply enter the CG value that's displayed on the very lowest right (see image) into the CG line (LSK 4R).
Adjust the elevator trim normally until the value matches the calculated CDU value. No more guessing.
The trim display accuracy of the gauge is within the green band trim section only (0.5 to 7.0 trim units).
I'm posting here first to see if there's any interest in this gauge. Please let me know!
