Load manager and center of gravity

Hi,

I have some problems setting up the aircraft. Acording to manuals

"Valid entry is CG within the valid range. After the CG is entered, the FMC calculates and displays the stabilizer takeoff trim setting to the left of the CG entry."

How do I determ appropriate CG? As far as I know load manager ACE does not provide that information? According to my understanding, in real life the pilot gets the CG information from the load sheet.

This is how I do it:

1. Load your AC via the CS load manager (before FS had started)
2. Start FS
3. Open your FS Load/Fuel Manager
4. Count the Bars from up to down where the Button is.

5. Enter the number in this tool (selfmade) http://www.file-upload.net/download-1982143/CG-Calc.exe.html
6. Enter the CG in your FMC ... Enjoy your flight.

Or, as I noticed, after loading the craft via ACE and, as Gradl said, counting the bars СG is always around 40. So after that I gave up counting and just enter this value and get trim value 2.25.
