FS2k2 HU-16 Albatross

[theflyingcloud]

hi all,
I recently downloaded Greg Pepper's HU-16 (HU162K2.zip), and am enjoying flying it around. I'm interested in adjusting the aircraft cfg file, but I have never done this. I figured out the fuel (seemed like there was too much), and now I want to adjust the CG. I am an aircraft mechanic and am familiar with the physics of weight and balance, but am cluless how it works in fs. Essentially the plane is nose heavy all the time and requires full elevator trim up, and near full elevator deflection to stay level at anything less than cruise speed.
Any help will be greatly apreciated.

I did the dynamics for greg's HU-16. they were a bear!!! Alot of the problems were in the way he did the model (as it relates to COG) Also it was I belive Greg's first plane so he wasn't as far along the learning curve with that one as he is now. I had to brute force alot of the settings. you might try adding some weight to the tail in the cfg and see if it helps. I haven't played with it in a while but I might try a few things and see what happens. As for the fuel.. it's just about right. the HU-16 is a flying gas tank good for 18 plus hours in the air. heck even the floats are gas tanks worth about 200 gal each.
