Virtavia B29 panel merge with Mahan B-50

gray eagle

SOH-CM-2025
Using the Virtavia B29 panel will result in loosing the sound and monitor functions in the stock panel folder of the B50 -
Is there a work around for this where the Monitor and DSD sounds could function with the B29 panel?

Code:
Merging Virtavia's B-29 Interior into Manfred Jahn's B-50
---------------------------------------------------------

1) Copy the "Virtavia_B-29_interior.MDL" file from "\Virtavia B-29 Superfortress\model.B-29A_late" folder to the "\Boeing_B-50\model.B50" folder

2) Edit the "Model.cfg" file in the the "\Boeing_B-50\model.B50" folder to read:

[models]
normal=B50_01
//interior=B50_interior
interior=Virtavia_B-29_interior

3) Make a copy of the "\Virtavia B-29 Superfortress\panel" folder and name/rename the copy it to "panel.B29"
Copy the new folder to the "\Boeing_B-50" folder. (Don't forget where it came from -- don't pass it along)

4) Make a copy of the "\Virtavia B-29 Superfortress\texture.shared" folder and name/rename the copy it to "texture.virtavia"
(I put the name Virtavia in there in case someone forgets where it came from and accidently passes it around).

Copy the new folder to the "\Boeing_B-50" folder.

5) Edit the "texture.cfg" file in the "\Boeing_B-50\texture.46010" folder to read:

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\texture
fallback.2=..\texture.Virtavia
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture

6) Copy the new "texture.cfg" file to all numbered exterior texture folders that will use the B-29 cockpit. DO NOT copy it to the "texture" folder.

7) Edit the "panel=" line of each [fltsim.xx] section of the Boeing_B-50 "aircraft.cfg" file to read "panel=B29".
