Hey! That worked!

I used the default DC-3 instead though.....What happens if you delete the unused gauges?

1.Copy the bt67_interior.MDL out of the Baslers model folder and rename it C47_interior.MDL, then put it in your C-47_2 model folder. it will overwrite the org.

You can also allign the model in the model.cfg,without copy them ,if spce is an issue

interior=..\..\Basler_BT67\model.bt67_1\BT67_inter ior

same for texture

texture cfg-->

fallback.1=..\..\Basler_BT67\texture

and panel.cfg

[fltsim]
alias=Basler_BT67\panel

Stepping back a minute if you don't want to copy and replace files you can edit the cfg files.

To place the interior model into the Default DC3 as an example go into the model folder.

Open the model.cfg file

// Comment out the original line interior=xyz

Add your new line

interior= ..\..\Basler_BT67\model.bt67_ski\bt67_interior.MDL

Adding this line to the any FSX Native aircraft will give it the VC interior model of the Bassler BT67 ski version.

But wait there's More! ... of course you have no textures and it looks like crap. Well that can be taken care of also with out coping textures.

Following the same line of logic go into your aircraft that you have chosen to be the recipient of this VC. In my case the default DC3 World Travel.

In the texture1 folder simply add another fallback line. This will call for any missing textures from the Basler BT67 texture folder. In this example that is not enough. The VC prop blur and the engine textures come from another folder so we have to add it as well or things don't look so good out the window.

fallback.4=..\..\Basler_BT67\texture
fallback.5=..\..\Basler_BT67\texture.C-GAWI

If you want this VC in all models you need to copy the texture.cfg file to each texture.

Now the issue is what about gauges. Assuming you are doing a like kind exchange which I am not and you want the original panel.

No need to copy it or any of the gauges.

Simply go into the aircraft.cfg file and add this to the panel entry for the variant you are modifying.

panel=..\..\..\Basler_BT67\panel

The last thing you need to do is copy the eyepoint to the aircraft you are modifying. The down side to this is it affects all models. Luckily we can adjust it at will so its not a big deal.

//eyepoint = -6.495, -1.4, 3.26
eyepoint = -3.0, -1.4, 3.0

One of the down sides to this is the textures of the exterior model as viewed from the VC do not match the aircraft paint.

Again no big deal unless you are sticking your head out the window.

You beat me to it Roland

Much coolness. This I will try, and yes, I would like to stick my head out the window....
