Would the cockpit from the Fire Power Ar-234 work with this model ?

still found stored at my CFS3 wip library: the current stage of the originally meant Ar 234B-2 conversion - a free 3D model by helljah / animated parts & initial gmax model optimalisation by hairyspin / some kind of my project stuff support.

glad there still are people who seems really would appreciate to have a free Arado 234 for CFS3.the small poll at my flightsim add-on site says the Blitz would be the most awaited add-on, but there is a few votes infact... so vote please, who can...
Arado 234 is currently not work in progress, just some things changed from previous info relating to the hellijahs model conversion, so I am letting you know... I am bumping the thread a bit.
well, I think it needs to note this thread talks about two Arado 234 projects actually: about the helliajahs model conversion and about a fully scratch made model created by me.
the scratch made model may serve as a lower LOD for the helliajsh model, but also is meant to be standalone add-on alternative. its just better editable for me, cca 10 times lower polycount...

I think a few small paint tweaks to do yet and I wouldnt bother with the canopy frame anymore, next I would just focus on the 3d instruments.a big question - guys, can you confim the full Arado 234 cockpit 360deg panoramatic view here just doesnt load the scene but one or two image parts? I would be happy, very happy to be able to use such sources!

thanks
some notes to the original hellijahs model conversion:
there is a few things on the external model which needs do be added yet for the interior, but not much.
then we could mark it as "done". ok, there is few another things which arent life important, eg. the canopy frame vs canopy glass overlayering, a reshaping of the engine gondolas, new exhaust item shape, some kind of mesh uv-maping etc. but in case of all such improvements we would talk about a model overhaul infact.
well, my own scratch made Arado 234 model (wip) is builded with point to avoid of some such problems and basicaly now serves also as a primary source for creating all the additional objects (antene, weapons and pylons...) for the hellijahs model.
in another words, both Arado 234 models basicaly already share some add-on development items.
as to the VC development I can say just this: "Yes, both models should be equipped basically with same VC (virtual cockpit)". as youve noticed it is basically a scratch work (means newly modeled)
regarding to all written above I am getting a small idea / offer now:
I could share public in some short visible future the Arado 234B-2 hellijahs conversion, when done the few interior parts for the external model. no other changes / improvements.
this way you would got a fully working airplane add-on with the simplified VC, as it is known from the actual screenshots.
also for those who owns the FIREPOWER Arado 234B-2 payaware, I could addapt the helljahs model position to fit with his VC, if you like it bit more.
such way I would fully focus on my owm Arado 234 project bit deeper.
here is how actually the curent Arado from my kitchen looks:

Love your work, BorekS 
. Sorry I can't offer an opinion on your options. Truth be told I would happily shoot at all your work, and AIs would work fine for me !!
