Editing Model.cfg

If you want to change the visual model or colors of an aircraft, just edit the Model.cfg file. You can alter, either completely or in part, the color scheme of an aircraft. The colors used in the example are for illustration only; this procedure applies to the modification of any Model.cfg file. The following procedure changes an aircraft's predominant color from white to black. You can change the color of any portion of the aircraft; see the comments in the code example used in the procedure to determine which key in the Model.cfg file corresponds to what part of an aircraft.

Note: Depending on how the model designer created the model, some of the colors may not be valid. Some model designers choose to ignore the Model.cfg colors.

To edit the Model.cfg file and change an aircraft's color scheme

1. Open the Model.cfg file.
   
   
2. Edit the 00= parameter from WHITE to BLACK.
