No, you cannot.

Hello KAPTEJNLN,

I didnt quite understand that. But, if this might help, simply make a secondary model folder, have the second version interior in that one, then make a secondary 'aircraft sim' block in the aircraft.cfg file and assign it to that secondary model and state that its a variant with the new interior version.

I hope that helps.

Sure, no problem.

Here is an Aeronca Registry block.

[fltsim.0]
title=AeroncaK United States
sim=AeroncaK
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=
ui_manufacturer=Aeronca
ui_type="Model K"
ui_variation="A: NC17481 U.S."


Note above that 'model=' is blank. Create a new model folder. Name it model.new (for example). Now, copy/paste that Registry block above, and paste it below and reset to be a new entry, as like this.

[fltsim.1] <<--- 1
title=AeroncaK United States #2 <<--- #2
sim=AeroncaK
model=new <<--- new (name of new model folder)
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=
ui_manufacturer=Aeronca
ui_type="Model K"
ui_variation="A: NC17481 U.S. with New Interior" <<--- 'with new interior'



This will then enable you to have a 'new selection' that will utilize the new interior.


Now, with FSX, the interior model will be the new interior.mdl, and you will need to enter its new name in the model.cfg file to mate the new mdl's name.

Here is an example of using alternate model and panel folders in the same aircraft.cfg file:

[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna 310 N5077J
sim=Cessna 310v4
model= ; default ../model folder
panel=
sound=
texture=N5077J
kb_checklists=Cessna 310v4_checklist
kb_reference=Cessna 310v4_references
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="310R"
ui_model="C310"
ui_variation=N5077J 3dAnalog
ui_typerole="Twin Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Military Visualizations"
atc_id=N5077J
description=Although no longer in production, the Cessna C310, was and still is one of the most popular twin engine aircraft and the choice of many General Aviation enthusiasts.

[fltsim.1]
title=Cessna 310 N5225J
sim=Cessna 310v4
model=G1000 ; alternate ../model.G1000 folder
panel=G1000
sound=
texture=N5225J
kb_checklists=Cessna 310v4_checklist
kb_reference=Cessna 310v4_references
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="310R"
ui_model="C310"
ui_variation=N5225J G1000
ui_typerole="Twin Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Military Visualizations"
atc_id=N5225J
description=Although no longer in production, the Cessna C310, was and still is one of the most popular twin engine aircraft and the choice of many General Aviation enthusiasts.
