Hi,

im working on a payload model fpr FsP. For the cargo area FsP wants to now the Max Lbs for that area.
The overall extra weight for the Bf108 (without fuel) is proberly 500kg (~1100 Lbs), that are mentioned in the manuel.

But how much weight is allowed in the payload "box" behind the backseats?

greets
Max

Right out of my head it's 18 kilgramms, will have to check that though.
The rest is used up by passangers and fuel.

oh... so it can handel 4 passengers (with pilot) that weigh 482 kg o.O
I thought they didnt thought about overweight pax and gave the cargo area atleast 100 kg ^^

Ok ill stay with 18kg first, can change it later if i need to, thx.

PS: i Dont have the exact measures about CG and possition of pax and payload so just asking if my thoughts are nearly right:
Pilot/Copilot: above/at CG
rear pax: 3 feet behind CG
payload: 4,5 feet behind CG
Is this ok and has the cargo box same height as the bottom of the seats?

These are the values from the aircraft.cfg's station load section:


station_load.0 = 170, 0.4, -1.0, -0.15, Pilot
station_load.1 = 170, 0.4, 1.0, -0.15, Copilot
station_load.2 = 160, -2.7, -1.0, -0.15, Passenger L
station_load.3 = 160, -2.7, 1.0, -0.15, Passenger R
station_load.4 = 40, -4.6, 0.0, 0.0, Payload

The fore-aft coordinates (the second value) should not be modified because they are an important part of the FM to overcome some of FS's erratic pre-calculations.

I dont want to change them.

So when the zero possition of your model (for station_load) is at the Center of Gravity (empty aircraft), i can use this values as feet right?
( CG - typical 1/3 of wing, from front)
PS: And i wasnt that bad with guessing ^^
