Payload station locations

Hey all,

I’m trying to figure out the location of the payload stations for a given aircraft. Right now I’m able to find how they individually affect the CG but can’t reliably figure out where they are.

I would like to see that implemented and be made available through SimConnect.
Alternatively, getting the wing root chord via SimConnect would enable us to calculate it indirectly.

Thank you!

Currently fuel and paylod data are locked and unable to be accessed by 3rd party devs. Would be nice to open this up so it can be used by devs to create content with specific mission scnerios.

Bump.

Getting something like "PAYLOAD_STATION_POSITION" would be insanely useful.

Thank you!
