How to give a plane a new Virtual Cockpit

[dasuto247]

Trying to fix up a PBJ for personal use(will release if get owners permission) What file controls the virtual cockpit? Would simply like to plant an up to date B-25 VC to the PBJ.I think I saw it one time when browsing files but no luck relocating or I could be mistake.

Which B-25 are you trying to mod?

Only recently Tango Romeo did a complete range of B-25s & a PBJ-1C, all with dynamic VC.

They're at Simviation, this link gets you the page with the PBJ-1C.

You can't take a VC from one plane and put it in another. VCs are coded into the model it self than gauges are loaded from the panel.cfg.

Thanks for the link, I had some of those planes, great models. I was trying to update the bulldog PBJ.Thus far that is the only "strafer" PBJ I have been able to find.

Dasuto,

Easier than you might think. Take one of Tangos B25C gunships & use that model (& elements of the dp file) for your PBJ-1C gunship. Apart from some small mapping differences that a dedicated paint can correct, it certainly looks the part...

I knocked this one up really quick, it uses the AF-Chatterbox B25C-1 strafer model with the default PBJ-1C.
