C-130 [Weight and Balance] for Aircraft.cfg?

Recommended Posts

Guest RiffRaff

To whom it may concern...Recently I've d/l Mike Stone's C-130H model. It's a great model to fly with low framerates, but I'm a little more interested in the [weight and balance] section of the aircraft.cfg file.The C130H has a published maximum payload weight of 42,000 lbs - by default, this section has a value of 5,660 from within the aircraft.cfg file. The pilot and copilot locations along the longitudinal axis is also incorrect at -9.83. Wouldn't this put the pilot and copilot aft - rather than in the cockpit?If anyone has a workable [weight and balance] section for Mike Stones C-130H, could you please let me know what values I need?Thanks in advance!

It depends entirely on where the measurements are taken from!There is a LOT OF CONFUSION (even among folks who should know better) concerning the FS "system" of settings.Here is a picture we'll reference in the following discussion:http://img63.exs.cx/img63/7176/fsreferencepoints1fu.jpgThere are three separate but related "reference points" for any flightsim model:1) Origin Point (absolute 0,0,0 xyz coordinates in the FS model itself)2) Empty Weight CG Position (usually the same point defined Origin Point in #1)NOTE: This point is where the a/c is theoretically "balanced in all 3 dimensions when empty" (which normally includes the typical crew and crew's baggage load)3) Reference Datum Position (the point defined in FS as 1/4 chord, centerline, waterline)NOTE: This point is where the a/c is theoretically "balanced in all 3 dimensions when fully loaded."In the aircraft.cfg file, you will find the following (this example is the C172) entries. As you can see, in this specific case, the reference datum position is defined as 3.6' in front of the 0,0,0 (Origin Point), and the empty weight CG position is defined as -3.0 behind the 0,0,0 (Origin Point). reference_datum_position = 3.6, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord, centerline, waterline)empty_weight_CG_position = -3.0, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datumWhat is critical to understanding this "system" is that all measurements for the remainder of the .cfg file are taken from the reference datum position!Now in the picture above, I chose to create the Origin Point in the model to match the empty weight CG position, just to make life simpler for me. The reference dataum position was set as always to 1/4 chord, centerline, waterline. Hence all remaining measurements in my hypothetical CJ2's config file would be based on this point.Also as shown on the picture above, is that most manufacturer's use the point indicated in orange as their Reference Datum Point and some modeler's chose to (incorrectly) use that point in their models. The reason why it is incorrect should be obvious from the very definition that FS uses for the "Reference Datum Position," which is "1/4 chord, centerline, waterline." Using incorrect RDP can result in some very strange and unpredictable results when trying to "tune" flight dynamics! :) In the case of your C130 example, this is likely what has occurred, since you state that the "eyepoint" is defined as being behind the obvious RDP, which could only be true if the RDP was incorrectly defined to begin with.In actual practice, most modelers seem to treat all three points as congruent, which - while having the "benefit" of being simpler - presents its own share of difficulties, since they have effectively moved the empty weight CG and fully loaded CG to be identical, a practice which again makes the process of "tuning flight dynamics" an exercise in hair pulling... :(I'm hoping that this little exposition has been of some help in clarifying your question! :)

Herc mods:Yea, this is what I've been using for at least six months, it flight tests quite well:station_load.0 = "850.0, 32.30, 0.0, 1.1,Flight Crew" station_load.1 = "4000.0, 25.7, 0.0, -6.5,Fwd Cargo 14max"station_load.2 = "4000.0, 10.0, 0.0, -6.5,Ctr Cargo 14max"station_load.3 = "4000.0, -6.0, 0.0, -6.5,Aft Cargo 14max" //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)You can edit those all you want, but this is better than it was before anyway. If you wish to carry more cargo, you can do so by reducing your fuel, you can carry absolutely crazy amounts of cargo if you go with 50% fuel, as fuel is so insanely heavy. That said, dump fuel before landing, because it's gonna be tricky!Anyway, my weight distribution now means it's easier to trimPS: I also changed:induced_drag_scalar =1.1 //1.000 Rick aileron_effectiveness =1.4 //1.000 RickI did the drag one because I found it was just too tough to slow this crate down while decending even at modest rates. The aileron effectiveness I pumped up because I've been in Hercs that did some crazy flying on final, and the original file was too sluggish. I'm actually thinking my own tweek is still too slow compared to real, but I went conservative.I did this one in the Effects section, because Hercs don

You are right, a minor mistake! But not to worry, FS just ignores the second one (much like gauges on a same panel with the same number)

Here is what I have for an aircraft.cfg on the C-130 - note please that the reference datum and the Empty Weight CG datum are the same. In order to verify the locations of the crew positions and cargo, I used nav lights and substituted those in the appropriate x, y, and z axes until I was sure I had them correct. These are 'spot on' with respect to location (I used a C-130 load chart as a reference).The plane's empty weight, fuel locations and fuel quantity are based on the assumption that this is a C-130 without external tanks installed - the tank equippped plane would actually require a new model file and aircraft cfg, as the external tanks would influence things like CG, lift coefficient and so on. Like its been said earlier, I have a hard time slowing it down and I have to make longer approaches - not at all indicative of the short approaches and landings the Hercules is famous for.Anyways...here is the best I could come up with...I'm completely open to criticism and skepticism on ways to improve it.================[General]atc_type=LOCKHEEDatc_model=C130editable=1performance="Cargo Station Load Order (by weight):n 3-2-4-1-5-6 n Do NOT exceed 4500 lbs on Station 6 (Ramp)"[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]max_gross_weight = 155000.000empty_weight = 72892.000reference_datum_position = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000empty_weight_CG_position = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000max_number_of_stations = 50station_load.0 = 210.000, 32.800, -1.950, 1.800, Pilot // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.1 = 210.000, 32.800, 1.950, 1.800, Co-Pilot // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.2 = 210.000, 30.130, 0.000, 1.800, Engineer // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.3 = 210.000, 29.460, 3.325, 1.800, Navigator // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.4 = 210.000, 28.500, -3.325, 1.800, Loadmaster // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.5 = 7500.000, 14.500, 0.000, -4.250, Cargo #1 // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.6 = 7500.000, 7.500, 0.000, -4.250, Cargo #2 // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.7 = 7500.000, 0.000, 0.000, -4.250, Cargo #3 // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.8 = 7500.000, -7.500, 0.000, -4.250, Cargo #4 // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.9 = 7500.000, -15.000, 0.000, -4.250, Cargo #5 // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)station_load.10 = 4500.000, -23.250, 0.000, -4.250, Ramp Cargo // Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet);Moments of Inertiaempty_weight_pitch_MOI = 1200000.000empty_weight_roll_MOI = 1800000.000empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 3400000.000empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0.000CG_forward_limit= 0.000CG_aft_limit= 1.000[flight_tuning]cruise_lift_scalar =1.000parasite_drag_scalar =1.000induced_drag_scalar =1.000elevator_effectiveness =1.000aileron_effectiveness =1.000rudder_effectiveness =1.000pitch_stability =2.002roll_stability =1.000yaw_stability =1.000elevator_trim_effectiveness =0.505aileron_trim_effectiveness =1.000rudder_trim_effectiveness =1.000[GeneralEngineData]engine_type = 5Engine.0 = 12.000, -31.500, 6.000Engine.1 = 12.000, -15.000, 6.000fuel_flow_scalar = 0.917min_throttle_limit = -0.25 //Minimum percent throttle.
