Payload editor and Stations

[pagir]

The Z is the distance (in feet) between the CG (center of gravity) and the center of the station. The y is the "vertical" variation (in feet)
between the CG and the center of the station.

In you examples:

station 1 and station 2 not used
station 3 Max seat 20 Pos Z 30.0 Pos Y 0.0 : 20 pax are in the front of the plane, and center of this station is 30 feet in front of CG
station 4 Max seat 30 Pos Z -20.0 Pos Y 0.0 : 30 pax are in the back of the plane, and center of this station is 20 feet back of CG
Front cargo (station 5) is not used
Rear cargo (station 6) Max weight 2645, pos z 0.0 pos y 0.0 : The cargo hold is right in the middle of the plane!!!

Ok: if I read this payload, the plane is at least 50 feet (30 feet front, 20 back= 50 feet) between those two stations. But the cargo hold is in
the center of the plane?!?

To get good infos and specs for making payload models, go to: http://www.airliners.net/

You'll see your plane is 96 feet long, seats 50 and have a rear cargo hold.

Good luck!

Hope it helps!
