FS2004 Douglas Dolphin

Hello,

How is it possible to convert your Dolphin for CFS2? I've been trying with Ivan's MdlC, and the mdl fil converts fine, bur the aircraft refuses to initialyse and causes CTD, even when you change any source of trouble (Sound, Panel and Air files)

By now I suppose you've reached David at the address in the ReadMe. He might have some ideas. That sort of thing is beyond my understanding.

here is a corrected aircraft.cfg entry for FSX by Andre Ludick:

delete the respective contact points entry and copy this into the aircraft.cfg instead:
