In the end, things will be set up so that you can model it either
way. For now, I've been keeping the 3D cockpit in the same model
as the external.
Note that you'll also need to make an aero model for the Caravan. If
you have good data, you can do it with JSBSim; otherwise, you can fake
a fairly reasonable aero model in YASim using only geometry and
published performance numbers.

You won't be able to do that with the aero model, but you should be
able to manage with the 3D model.
I doubt many purists will be upset; after all, FlightGear itself runs
under Microsoft Windows, and initially, we used 3D models that were
created by third-parties for MSFS. The idea of Open Source is that it
can be used anywhere, modified, and even sold for large amounts of
money, as long as it stays free-as-in-speech.
All the best,
David
