So, the distance (x,y,z) to the model reference point will have to change as
the CG moves, right? If the x-offset is -240 inches at the beginning of the
simulation, and I make the CG move an inch aft instantaneously, then I need
to (during the same dt) reset the x-offset to -241 inches.
That s

..the common way to do it, it use the main spar and add some idiot

It depends on how precise the numbers are that are avai

Although it might be easy to understand, this definitely misses the idea of
a reference point. When you're

Yes...well YASim always had one just by the nature of how it's configured.
It'd be good to have a standard.
