Argonaut Virtual Cockpit.

I am trying some new cockpits out on the Argonaut. How do I get rid of the Virtual Cockpit please?

Hi Simon

That's a part of the model....so you can't....not in FS .9 at least :think:

It is possible to edit the mdl with a hex editor to remove the VC, but I don't know exactly what to alter.

Thanks, I won't waste my time then.

Sorry for the extremely late post. To remove/disable a VC search for the hex string 00 22 00 39 00 using your hex editor. When you find the first instance of the string don't touch it, the string you're going to change is in the second instance. When you've found the second instance change the 39 to read 00. The second instance will now read 00 22 00 00 00. Now save the MDL...you're done. Don't forget to make a backup copy of MDL before monkeying with it.

If you do not already have a hex editor may I recommend XVI32. XVI32 is free (my kind of price ;-) ) and can be downloaded from here. http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/

If you do use XVI32 here are the steps taken to remove the VC.

Click File/Open then open your MDL.
Click Search/Find then click the Hex String radio button.
In the open field type 00 22 00 39 00
Click Ok.
Click Search/Find Again Down.
Change 00 22 00 39 00 to read 00 22 00 00 00
Save the MDL.

Hope this helps. Happy hex editing!

Hi Brian

I think you should seek the permission of the modeller.

He may be OK but most modeller allow repaints but no fiddling with the model

This is why I bever support such action.

I think you're safe when it's for your own personal use mate. If the end result is to be uploaded, then of course.. consult the author first ;-)
