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!
