FSp center of gravity bug

[Jetflyer]

I'm flying the DC-9-51 and I have the correct payload downloadded from this site and whatever the CofG really is, on the manifest it always states
there is 77% CofG when there can't be because the arrow indicated differently.

The plane sits on its tail on the ground and if I takeoff the autopilot cannot keep it level and it pitches up and down and oscillates continuously
out of control. Is this an FSp bug, dare I ask? The plane was fine before FSP.

I need some solutions please.

There is another like that, I think its the kittyhawk 737-200, where the CoG is right on, but as soon as you start the sim the plane does a
stationary wheelie lol. Might try adjusting it forward a bit if you go nose up.

I use the kittyhawk 737200 and it is fine. Just this plane seems to have the problem. I tried loading max cargo in the forward hold only yet still it
tips back. I'll have to just delete the plane at this rate and use something else. The autopilot simply cannot trim the plane because it
over-compensates but I can takeoff without trouble, don't know about landing, my flight is still under-way.

Where did you get your DC-9-51?

http://www.avsim.com and typed in "SGA DC-9" it is by the Flight FX group

that's not a "bug" just a matter to have a good payload model for this aircraft

No I'm sorry that is not corect. I have a good payload mdel for this aircraft and I have tried many. Do you think I like wasting time or something?
Sorry this plane is a write off. FSP buggers it completely.

Sorry to waste your time, then your right FsP bugged it.

No I'm saying that dealing with faulty planes wastes my time when I could be flying with non faulty planes.

I tried the DC-9-51 to see the problem. It didn't "sit on its tail" on the ground, but when the plane is flying on autopilot at cruising altitude
the plane oscillate very much.

I tried it with and without FsP and the result is the same: occillation.

Is this a plane bug, dare I ask ?

It happens to me tooo.juts dont overload the front/rear cargo.It happpens to me in ALL planes even cessna...

[olseric]

I have the SGA DC-9-51 and fly it all the time without issue.

Perhaps your panel is screwing with it?

[CptnMartin]

I think its HOW you load the plane....

[Jetflyer]

How I load it makes no difference. Even with all the weight in the front it tilts back. Maybe the weight stations (edited by FSP) have been placed in
the wrong areas. Probably. The panel Im using shouldn't really affect it. It works well with all other planes

FsP don't edit station weight nor position in aicraft.cfg ,the only reason FsP require to modify some aircraft.cfg
it's just to add more stations so they exist in memory and FsP can modify them in memory if the correct
number of station doesn't exist in the aircraft.cfg they don't exist in memory at all and FsP can't do nothing.
FsP add only useless station that have zero weight and zero position in aircraft.cfg , they do nothing to
your aicraft without FsP.

Anyway this is a payload model issue: this aircraft may not support
one payload model that was designed mainly for another add-on.

solution: edit the payload model or copy the one that come, give it a more matching name so it come first
for this specific model and edit the payload position using the "payload editor".
For badly designed aircraft you can put all the station on the same points for example.

There is no payload issue that can't be solved by editing or creating a payload model.
