wezhei 1 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hello to erveryone, I recently bought the CRJ 700/900 and being now on my waya to learn to flight this beautiful plane. Currently I'm struggling with an issue I do not understand. I start the CRJ Manager and begin to make my payload settings. Now the suprising thing to me is that if I 've the empty plane it displys a COG of neg. 88.32% an a neg. TO trim of -5.08° (see pic. below) Please login to display this image. This even gets worse whe i fully load the plan then I end up with a COG of neg. 1341% MAC and a TO Trim of -221.46°. Dose anybody have an idea what's going or what I'm doing wrong? best regards Heinz Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyDog 40 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 In looking at your second screenshot, you need to enter weights for the forward and aft cargo holds in the payload section. Next, enter the flight distance, flight level, alternate distance, alternate flight level, reserve fuel and taxi fuel in the flight section. Once you have entered that info, press the calculate button next to trip fuel, which should give you the block fuel, CoG and TO trim settings. Note that trim setting may not agree with "Dave's" trim calculations. I usually set the elevator trim on Dave's numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcognition 5 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I concur with BuddyDog (upvoted). I was a little confused at first too, but literally just fill in the blanks with all your variables in the payload and flight section, and then press calculate. There will be a slight difference between DAVE's data an your own, but nothing major. Good luck and enjoy! Regards, Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezhei 1 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi marcognition and buddydog, tried what you recommended, but unfortunate no success, besides very minor changes the COG and Trim still about -1200% / -166°. Do you have any further recommendations for me? regards heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman977 6 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I noticed that despite me changing the interface to Imperial Pounds, it was still treating the units as KGs. For example, the max value I could enter for fuel was ~8800 lbs, when the CRJ-900 can carry ~19,000 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer metzgergva 210 Posted September 13, 2017 Developer Share Posted September 13, 2017 The issue with max fuel in kg value versus lb despite pounds selected will be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted September 14, 2017 Developer Share Posted September 14, 2017 As mentioned in other threads, I'm still on the road and will not have the chance to look into this before the weekend. But I will once I'm back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wezhei 1 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 did another try with an empty plane; the same - so I decided to deinstall and reinstall - still the same. would be great to get some tip here. best regards Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted September 28, 2017 Developer Share Posted September 28, 2017 What regional settings (country & language) do you use on your system? It's weird that the values for CoG and trim both show decimal commas instead of decimal points. My system has german settings (with decimal comma) and still shows a decimal point (as it intended).

wezhei 1 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hans, you're the man, I reset my country and language settings to default (English) and now everything is fine. Many thx for your professional help. best regards Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
