Thanks for the detailed answer. I already assumed that. So I totally understand what you are saying. My only "grudge" with this is, that I can change my fuel distribution between 3 tanks and nothing changes. If you can just ignore the distribution and the only thing that counts is the total FOB, then personally, I would not even bother giving the pilot 3 sliders. Just to make clear that it doesn't matter for the simulation. But I can cope with the current system of course. It's just looking like it's more than it actually is. That threw me off a bit. (I like to fiddle with all aspects of the aircraft. Even things like number of PAX, fuel distribution, or even cabin heat.... So that's why my expectations were not matching. ;-) ) I don't want to fly with 20%CG all day every day. So I'll look up/calculate the real numbers for my daily loadout. Thx again.

Hi. I've a question regarding the weight and balance popup (Ground services and pre-flight) The IXEG 737 allows setup of the ZFW and fuel distribution via that popup. And this popup also allows the input of a desired % CG position. So, I was actually a bit puzzled why you should "select" a specific % CG position which then gets translated to a TRIM setting. and why this % CG setting is completely detached from the actual fuel distribution in the other dialog. Isn't the % CG determined automatically by your weight distribution (mostly cargo and fuel)? So the TRIM value has to be calculated to be appropriate for that given % CG? I find it weird that I can simply adjust the desired % CG directly myself, without changing the fuel distribution and without IT changing the fuel distribution. It's kinda backwards. I mean, I don't have to care about a specific % CG, as long as it does not exceed my available TRIM range, right? My expectation would have been to juggle the fuel around in it's compartments and get the resulting % CG displayed and the matching TRIM setting. But changing fuel distribution does not affect the CG or vice versa in this aircraft. Is this some simulation simplification? Am I thinking too complicated? Will those values be connected at some point in development?
