Dry center of mass

[Rosvall]

Hi there

I'm looking for a mod that shows the dry center of mass for when I'm trying to balance my terrible SSTOs.

I have seen that RCS build did that, but I can't get it to work with the newest version.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey! What I usually try to do is drain MOST of the fuel in the VAB and see where the CoM and CoL is, then do a test flight to see how well it flies. Idk if this was what you were looking for but it's helpful in-general

Well, it does work in the latest version, you probably forgot to install the dependencies

I reinstalled everything and started a new save. Seems to be working now! 

Thank you for advice!

That can be a chore on a multi-stage craft with multiple tanks.

I use "Fill It Up" to quickly check where the CoM lies with half a fuel tank, full ore and some monoprop:
