The mass.dat file defines the mass properties of the aircraft. Several masses, water ballast and fuel tanks can be defined. At least one mass '''must''' be defined for the simulation to work. The mass configuration file must be referenced in [[aircraft.cfg]] like this:

			Most entries are self explaining. The y_inner and y_outer defines the spanvise position of the inner and outer end of the tank.

	== Fuel tank ==		== Fuel tank ==

			You can add as many fuel tanks as you like. As with the water ballast, these are mirrored unless you use the mirror = false entry. Then tank_number variable defines the number that you would find on the fuel tank selector in the cockpit, and can be used to group the tanks. For example, you could have 4 tanks in group number 1, and 6 in group number 2. In the cockpit you can then select "all" tanks, or just tank (group) 1 or 2.
