Guys I have a question about the Alphasim Rutan 61 Long E-Z

Here is a neat little trick for those that do not like changing tanks and messing with balance when you are just trying to have a nice, relaxing flight.


Go into the Aircraft config file in the preferred Rutan of choice (there are 3), and find the 'fuel' section. There, you will see coordinates for the fuel tanks, left and right. Simply make the X coordinate 0.0. This will place the 'virtual tank weight zones' in the direct center of the plane.

The coordiates are in Z, X, Y. So go to the third coordinate and change those to 0.0 and you are good to go.

:d


EXAMPLES:


Original
LeftMain = 0, -2, 0, 26, 0
RightMain = 0, 2, 0, 26, 0

Modified
LeftMain = 0, 0, 0, 26, 0
RightMain = 0, 0, 0, 26, 0
