If taken from Instruments-3d or not, doesn't matter much. The c172p and the 
instruments-3d are both part of the base package. Beside that the model shows 
how to include other instruments from oter aircrafts or folders. 
A lot of aircafts make use of the Instruments-3d as the included instruments 
are used by many different aircrafts in RL and that's why we have it. So we can 
keep the specific-aircraft-package small.

The only thing which does matter more is that a lot of the instruments still 
use .rgb-files. Gral has done already some changes I think.

Thats a good improvement- as already told, we started for a while with that but 
your work reagrding texture size will be very helpful.

That would be helpful, but be aware of that the .ac-models needs also a change 
then. 
As Stuart already stated in the forum a lot of changes have been made so you 
should better update to the latest GIT-status.

Cheers
