It is the 'weight and balance' info for determining cg of the a/c.

Hah!   :D 

Good luck (seriously), please pass along anything concrete you find.  It differenciates only as much as there were varieties of A-8 (and don't forget the F-8 mods too).  And, as butcher said, to draw conclusions/opinion from what if anything you do find (100% or not) will be borderline futile as we have no means available to us to verfiy or validate any claims or documentation.


Is this leading to a I demand you change the A8 to uberness thread?  :rofl  :banana:

So... what are we looking at? Kg I assume is the weight of the item... x = distance from the CoG?

I don't understand what G,x(mkg) means.

Meter-kilos. A measurement of torque, like foot-pounds.

Once you have all the moments, you divide by the total mass and you have a distance from the datum, or reference point.  Since the CG moves, it is not the datum.  The datum is usually a part of the structure somewhere, like a former/bulkhead.  There is usually a forward limit and an aft limit, from the datum, that indicates where the CG can be.  I'd love to see the other 5 pages.  Surely, they must be around somewhere if that one page is uploaded?

I assume such info, to those who can read and understand it (HTC, for example) would only help refine and improve the modeling of the Fw190A-8 we have in-game?

(Image removed from quote.)

On which production varient, produced about when, and to what degree and means in comparison to our A-8 modeled varient?

Your turn, smart guy.  Pay attention to what I'm saying please.  And to clarify, incase it was my mistake:

Hah!   :D
