There seems to be something wrong with offset 2EF8, center of gravity. I'm getting some strange results.

In version 4.50 the value is around 22-25, but in version 4.518 its around 0.2-0.3

I first saw the problem a few weeks ago in a version older than 4.518.

The value was incorrect before -- as was kindly pointed out by another user. The value was always in the range 0-1 before FSX, but i made a mistake in FSUIPC4 which was not corrected until recently.

This correction is actually documented in the list of changes in the Updates Announcement, as follows:

13.[FSUIPC4 only] The CG offsets 2EF8 to 2F18, inclusive, are all now fractional instead of percentages, for compatibility with FSUIPC3 (i.e. FS9, FS2002 and FS2000). To obtain a percentage, multiply by 100.

Please do browse the list of changes when downloading an update.

The main purpose of FSUIPC is to maintain compatibility with previous versions -- that's why I developed it in the first place, in FS98 days.
