Centre of Gravity

Rather annoyingly the C of G for my FFG Saab 340 shows up on the "Fuel and Payload" screen as being somewere in the nose:

The datum and C of G positions in the aircraft.cfg file are both at 0,0,0; and the plane is stable and flies well.
Is there a way of transposing the displayed position so that it shows up in the right place, but without moving the actual C of G?
(I tried this - with unspeakable results.)

Thanks,
Jon

I think there's a screw-up in translating the scale on larger, third-party planes. What you see is an accurate displacement from 0,0,0... with a WAY out of scale, forced to fit the window, template.

Yes....if it flies, forget C of G.   The question is - does it land alright?

Yeah, it flies and lands fine...
just a bit annoying when trying to add a payload.

Common problem with 3rd party addons, just ignore it ;)
