Gordon, I'm going to give you 4.99 out of 5 stars for your efforts on both of these models.
Can't let you get a swelled head from 5 out of 5. :-)

As this was the first time I've tackled an aircraft conversion, I'll be quite pleased and honored with the score. Thank you sir.

GMAN,

Excellent work on this! One question - now that I (and assume many others) use Fire Fighter X for simulating fire fighting, the retardant drop gage that comes with this is no longer necessary, and I'm actually wondering if it will conflict with Fire Fighter X as both try to simulate weight changes during retardant drops.

Does someone know the best way to disable the gage? If I just comment it out of the panel cfg, will that stop it from operating completely, or could it still be doing something in the background?

Thanks!
