Well, hello everyone
im curious about measuring the CoG of an aircraft, is it posible to measure the CoG by just analyzing the blueprint, 3d scan, or any digitalized version of an aircraft. if its posible what software or programs will do the job.

    You cannot get the CoG from blueprints or 3D models since they don't tell you what exactly is in a plane. You cannot assume that a plane has a constant density.
    However, civilian planes might have publicly available documents related to weight characteristics and balancing, which you can use to get the CoG

    If you mean in-game, press space to see all three measurements (CoG, CoL, CoT). If it's something else, then I have no idea, sorry.
