YF-23 improvements ?

Hi all,

On Simviation military page, a superb model of the YF-23 can be found:
http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military14.htm

The model is really great, and the filght model is convincing. The sound is fantastic... but the VC is ugly, juste a 3D basic shape with blurry dummy texture and no gauges at all  :'(

Would anybody have enough motivation to give this aircraft the VC she needs ? I think she really deserves it, don't you think ?

Well it would be nice, but there are several complications:

I'm having trouble finding a cockpit shot of the YF-23.  This may be because of my horrible search habits or something else to that effect.

Where would we get the source files for the aircraft?  You can't just take one apart and stick a VC in it.  You have to have the actual files the aircraft was converted from, which would need to be in either Gmax or FSDS format.  The author would probably still have them, but I'm not sure on that.

I know about all those problems.
I was just trying to launch some ideas, trigger any event about what seem to be a forgotten plane :P

PS: The plane already has a VC, but I don't know if it's possible, via textures and panel.cfg modifications, to improve it or not...
