General Question Can someone explain setCrossSections, pitch/b moments

[tauruslittrow84]

If it is defined as a -V(*,*,*) point....why is it not always 0,0,0....where the x,y and z axis cross?? I know I'm being dumb...does it have to do with where the center of mass is... how can I find this for my mesh?

Pitch and Bank moment scales .... API guide doesnt show units or range...just says default is 0 and higher is stiff handling ....how high can it go?

There is a tool in orbiter that determines the isp, cross sections. in the obitersdk/util folder there is a program called shipedit. Load your mesh and run it. It will display info.

This guide is helpful. It is for SC3 but the values are the same.
