Hi Elevator,
An observation> that is what you get for buying a ready built,
the builder gets to keep the plans, Ha!
I have no experiance with simulators but it is not hard to comprehend how they work I would think.
It seems this G2 will simulate the flight of ANY aircraft?
If so that raises questions.
Know that similiar designs have their own individualities, while
specifications may be almost identical their performance may vary
specifically. That is what seperates a winner from an also ran.
Secondly these are hand made craft, if a kit that too. There can
be differences in the way they were produced and/or assembled.
As for the simulator> the thing only knows what has been stored
in it by an operator. So, to be able to simulate the flight of a craft
or predict it's performance someone would have to fly and record
the performance of every craft in the simulator's inventory
If you would give a model design-engineer the specs the G2 asks for the guy should be able to predict whether it would fly and
even if well. But how well would only be known by flight evaluations. That is a test pilot's effort in full scale.
As I see it what the G2 MAY BE able to do is what is in the last
paragraph.
From a proposal a knowlegable engineer can predict as above.
To do that the specs would have to be close to correct but not
exact. Areas, airfoil styles, moment arms. balance etc. have some
latitude. Of course there is a "best" of each but usually a bit either side of best would not do much harm
What all this triade boils down to is to say from what I know now
the use of YOUR measurements would be perfectly OK.
Would be interesting to know what the G2 does with them.
Good luck, keep in touch and be good!
