• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

In my cfg file I have 2 Station load 0. Is it correct? What should the parameters be?
Thanks,
vololiberista
Code: 
[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
reference_datum_position= 0.000, 0.000, 0.000
empty_weight_CG_position= 0.000, 0.000, -2.000
max_number_of_stations=50
[COLOR="Red"]station_load.0= 13000.000, 45.000, 0.000, -2.000
station_load.0=27500.000, -34.000, 0.000, -2.000[/COLOR]
empty_weight= 157000.000
empty_weight_roll_MOI= 16000000.000
empty_weight_pitch_MOI= 12000000.000
empty_weight_yaw_MOI= 12000000.000
empty_weight_coupled_MOI= 0.000
max_gross_weight= 335000.000
CG_forward_limit= 0.000
CG_aft_limit= 0.000
[COLOR="Red"]station_load.1= 11000.000, -35.000, 0.000, -2.000[/COLOR]
 
You made a mistake if I am not mistaken.
Station loads have a rising index starting with 0:
Station_load.0
Station_load.1
Station_load.2

Normally you should put them in a list where all station loads are in one paragraph. Better if there are problems to find them and it is cleaner than the your way.
Your values seem to be right but please check them again since in one you have -34.000 and one is -35.000. Is this surely right?
 
What appears in the weight and balance box in the sim itself are the figures for station 0: station_load.0= 13000.000, 45.000, 0.000, -2.000
and station 1: station_load.1= 11000.000, -35.000, 0.000, -2.000

The second station load.0 seems to be ignored. So perhaps it is in error.

As said before the second station_load.0 should be renames to station_load.1 then station_load.1 to station_load.2 and put everything to one block. See here:
Code: 
[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
reference_datum_position= 0.000, 0.000, 0.000
empty_weight_CG_position= 0.000, 0.000, -2.000
max_number_of_stations=50
station_load.0= 13000.000, 45.000, 0.000, -2.000
station_load.1=27500.000, -34.000, 0.000, -2.000
station_load.2= 11000.000, -35.000, 0.000, -2.000
empty_weight= 157000.000
empty_weight_roll_MOI= 16000000.000
empty_weight_pitch_MOI= 12000000.000
empty_weight_yaw_MOI= 12000000.000
empty_weight_coupled_MOI= 0.000
max_gross_weight= 335000.000
CG_forward_limit= 0.000
CG_aft_limit= 0.000

I think this should it be :)
If not please sorry, then I did not got your problem. Sorry
 
station_load.0= 13000.000, 45.000, 0.000, -2.000
station_load.1=27500.000, -34.000, 0.000, -2.000
station_load.2= 11000.000, -35.000, 0.000, -2.000

is correct. .0, .1, .2, .3, .4, etc... I believe you can have up to 49 or 99 stations. See the SDK, it is notated in the aircraft cfg documentation.
