Unless you have the source files from the developers, it's not possible.[table][tr][td rowspan=2]http://timbo87.home.attbi.com/sig/valiant.gif[/td][td]

Not sure you can do it, and I am not sure it is legal, either. You would be violating at least one copyright, two if you are thinking about destoying some other king air authors work.

Tim's right, can't be done without the source file.

Hi Fred,if you're not sure, please don't state as fact that he would be violating a copyright, without seeking a legal opinion first. As long as the original poster doesn't distribute it, his proposed action is perfectly legal, whichever panel/model he decompiles and merges - even in the States (for now).And yes, without the source code you'll have a hard time opning the .mdl file.Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Why don't you try aliasing the panel and vc to your dash 8

He already aliased the panel, the VC is part of the .mdl file in FS2002, hence his question.Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg
