virtual cockpit moving

[cleobis]

hi there, is it possible to move a virtual cockpit from an aircraft that has it to another? ex: moving the vc from the 737 default to another 737 that doesn't have it!!
I know it's in the model file, but is it possible to open this file  and selecxt only the VC? and then copy it to another mdl file?

   I suppose if you can decompile the MDL files.  I don't know about GMAX but with FSDS I have to create two models. One for Ext view and one for VC view. So then the answer is yes, it's just a matter of copy and paste.

   I don't know if the MDL files can be decompiled or not, never needed to. I'm sure someone will guide you in that area.

thks for the quick response

now if anyone could go a bit further as to explain how to do it...

THeoretically, yes - if you open the compiled MDL file with a hex editor and can figure out/identify the VC components.  I know I can't.

For practical purposes, you can't.  A VC is unique to the model.

If you were to have the source files of two 737s, one with and one without VC, you could copy/paste the VC parts from one to the other.

it was that very problem that led me to starting my own 737 project with a vc
