[quote author=idahosurge link=1200703133/0#13 date=1202005099]So LeFeaoux, did you get it to work after you removed Eric's panel from the FSX panel section and used the one that came with the Bob Chicilo FSX version of the plane or try Mark Rook's Shaw AFB plane on Page 13 that should work and then you can download all the other textures from FSX and FS2004 that were done for Kirk's, Bob's and/or Mark's plane.[/quote]
Well, I tried it and the "Shaw AFB Desert Cammo" version works [b]WITHOUT[/b] Eric Marciano's panel. I didn't even have to install the update file. Sheesh, all this time I was struggling with this bird and that model worked all along. Don't I feel like the dunce! I just remember reading in at least a couple of the other F-16 install instructions to use Eric Marciano's panel for it so I figured that it was a necessary file ... it isn't! As a matter of fact, Eric's panel is actually totally useless for FSX as far as i can see. Why is it even listed in FSX panels if it doesn't work for FSX??? Seems to me like "someone" should remove that file from the FSX panel area because leaving it there just confuses the heck out of some of us!

Thanks for your help Idahosurge!  ;)
