Is there any way I can load the Mobile Control Tower without the model? The bus model interferes with what I want to do with it. I want the panel and all of the goodies but no bus showing. I tried making an empty model file, making blank texture files, etc. to no avail. I got error messages that the model could not load. Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem please. Thanks, regards, Bob.

You can't. FS9 will not load a model unless there's a - well - model!Now, that said, there's nothing preventing you from making a tiny model in GMax (or FSDS2) that is invisible, and using that instead of the bus! ;)

Hi Bill. Wow your reply was quick! Thanks. Guess I'll have to study GMax. Never tried that program. Regards, Bob.

Hi. Thanks. I found an invisible model. Works GREAT! Regards, Bob.

Great! I've been wanting to design a new "control tower" for ages, but my work with Eaglesoft keeps me too busy to work on it... ;)
