The aircrafts glide way too far on 0 power

You can do this in game. Go to the Fuel window and then drag the right edge of that window to the right of your screen and you can alter the COG. I also didn’t notice this until recently. You have to make that fuel window bigger. Hope that helps.

thanks I never pulled the toolbar panel larger and so did not realize i could change COG with the slider. I knew it increased the loads but since since the pilot and seats behind were both being changed the same ratio, I could not really tell about the COG was behaving. So I adjusted it in the .cfg file (which takes me about 2 minutes including finding the right file).

But as you wrote, and I now realize, you can just drag the slider and watch the icon move in the toolbar panel.

Thanks!

EDIT: One reason planes aren’t designed a little more nose heavy and therefore more stable, is that it reduces fuel efficiency. And cheaper fuel will sell a lot more aircraft. Price and pollution concerns. (When you trim the plane with the elevator trim whee, it will yield less lift on the wings if the COG has previously been moved more forward. Because the wings are forward of COG. And so it takes more fuel to create that lift that has been lost)
