CG not within tolerance problem

Featured Replies

HiDuring takeoff with the pmdg 737-700. I get the CG message. Aircraft unflyable. My autopilot doesn't work. Never had this problem before.What is wrong??

You have most likely messed up the coordinates of the load_stations entries in the aircraft.cfg file. Check and reset to default values. Do an advanced search on this forum using the keywords " CG within tolerance" for example. This problem has been brought up before.Hope it helps,

Ok so the load coordinates does not seem to be the culprit...You say the A/P doesn't work either. What is the symptom?May I ask you to post a screen shot of the main panle when this is happening?Have you checked the fuel and load settings in FS. It seems odd that the out of CG message would appear without reason.Really don't have any more good leads here. Someone else???Cheers,

The problem was gone after I ran the loadedit program. And set new values on pax and cargo.
