A Question

38 Fmilner  8.5 years ago

I am wondering if the center of gravity moves as fuel burns off. Does the amount of fuel in the wings change the weight distribution as it burns? Does the engines effect the amount of weight loss?

Thank you for any answers, even educated guesses.

    Since this is supposed to be a realistic simulation sandbox, I would say yes. Although I have not seen it happen before, so I would have to say 'I don't know.'

    I see what you are thinking here…somehow, I don't think it does this. It probably should, though. Then the game might need to be renamed ComplicatedPlanes

    It should move the CG as fuel burn because the fuel tank will be lighter (unless the tank is on the CG@Thefalloutplayr

    No because it burns all fuel tanks equally

    I don't think so.
