Fuel Tables in aircraft profiles

Are there any plans to incorporate the use of fuel tables in the aircraft profiles?
I fly several different types of helicopter - all of which have a variable C of G of the fuel tank / tanks. Just being able to add one value for each tank isn't really accurate enough.
It would also be good to be able to define the order in which tanks are used, i.e all at the same time or sequentially.
Thanks

I can confirm that barely anyone has asked for this over the years we've been doing SkyDemon. I don't mean to belittle the feature - I'm sure it's both useful and critical to certain modes of flying - but we do not try to do everything, and we do not state that our W&B feature is suitable for every aircraft. Clearly, it isn't. SkyDemon supporting variable CoG is something you feel a) isn't very hard, b) wouldn't complicate the product and c) is absolutely essential for certain pilots. I politely disagree. We provide a product for the mass European market, and in general we go where the demand takes us.
