Thanks Mike for posting this, unfortunately I have the MS Store version so the xml files are in bin format so that's not an option!

I think I found a solution.  The 1.3.2 Fix 77W folder does not need the m773_305.xml in its model folder, so you don't need to copy it from the CS 77W folder (which, as you said, you can't do).  You can just delete it.

However there is one problem with removing it: you also have to update the layout.json file found just below the top level folder.  You need to delete the entry pointing to the m773_305.xml file in the Fix 1.3.2 model folder. If you don't you will get a useless skeletal model.  Be sure and backup the layout.json file!

The easiest way to do this is to use this tool:
https://github.com/HughesMDflyer4/MSFSLayoutGenerator/releases/tag/v1.1.1

You just download the MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe file, place it somewhere - no further installation necessary.  Then you just drag the layout.json file on top of it and it will be updated.

The only other thing you need to do is paste in the animations section to the m773_305_interior.xml file in the 1.3.2 Fix folder ... model folder.  Since you cannot get to these settings, I'm attaching a file with the settings from the CS Store version - should be identical (I hope!).  Just follow the instructions I gave above, except copy and paste the entire file I am attaching.  The rest should be the same as my instructions for the CS Store version.

Good luck and please let me know if this works!

Mike
