Hi all

I am trying to set up Aircraft profile for the Skyranger Swift but cannot get the W&B to work.

Have followed the procedure to the letter and can get the correct polygon. But the polygon is always red and no sign of the cross giving actual figure.

Even tried an offset datum to remove negative figures i.e.aft of datum. I thought the posts on the CTSW would help but still no joy. Can you assist, the aircraft details are as follows:-

CG Datum Mianwheel centreline our aircraft G-CGWT empty weight is 262.5Kg
Classic and Swift – 0.04m forward of Mainwheel axle centreline
Positive is forward of datum
Fuel tank 0.29m AoD (-0.29m), capacity 60 litres
Crew 0.15m FoD, Min 55 kg, max 120kg per seat
Baggage 0.29m AoD (-0.29m), 10kg maximum
Aft CG Limit 0.21m FoD
Fwd CG Limit 0.36m FoD

If we can fix this I will save to the library as this aircraft is very popular.

Hi again,

Need to change the order I think. The box is created with .21 258 .21 450 .36 450 .36 258 (with all the commas in the right places)

Have also changed some of the labels, relabelling the rear seat passenger 1 as the storage area in the passenger footwell at 0.5 moment, and rear passenger 2 as wing storage at 0.15 moment.

many thanks
