He could be doing an exam, or sleeping, or eating...

I know I've asked him much, but all he had to do yesterday was just pushing the latest updates I've send him some days before. Now we are not going to work on the KC for some time. I need those few things for the 5hrs flight to Hawaii I'm making today with the OPRF Crew. Hope everything's ok with him, I was just wondering why he didn't pushed to master the latest updates.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that, I thought you had PC issues again.

@Josh: I'm on Mumble now, could you connect if you can so we can talk about issues, things to do, new files, etc.
Thanks.

Sorry, I had a thing to do, I'll try to be on earlier tomorrow. I built a new ECAM by the way, and I am still refining it, so don't worry.

UPDATED TO-DO LIST IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE (deadline July 28th):

1) Implement the new autopilot "IT-AUTOFLIGHT".
2) make a whole new AP panel in the center part of the cockpit (where the current one stays).
3) work on the boom operator office (new instruments, fix the point of view in RT (makes the rear aircraft part invisible), etc. + onox)
4) work on fuel tanks and payloads (reduce available payload and add a standard load, implement fuel consumption while refueling, onox as reference).
5) improve ATA refueling (boom texture and model + code, onox model)
6) make the CDUs work properly + resize, reposition and retexture them.
7) put new radio comms under the throttle levers + TACAN instrument.
8) improve the trims.
9) add a MFD between the two CDUs which works as TCAS, systems, and other.
10) 3D engines models: UV map, smoke.
11) work on both engineer and overhead panel (improve instruments and move some from the eng to the oh).
12) Switch the "Autopilot view" to "Overhead panel view".
13) improve the magnetic compass instrument (make it fixed and place a new compass).
14) improve engines sounds.
15) add a few passenger seats to the cabin.
16) remove/move the "Rolex" in the middle of the cockpit.
17) remove/change cargo loaders (onox model)
18) implement MP dual control for co-pilot and boom operator.
19) create xml files for the liveries.


This is the lot, then we'll have a break and start on the AWACS (which will feature many similar changes so it will take less time to have a better aircraft).
Regards, Mav

Well, we've already fixed two things in just a couple of hours yesterday... I think that most of that stuff will be done by this summer.

I've just finished reworking most of the sounds so now we don't have to care about that for a while. Will send you the complete zip when you are on Mumble. Also, the to-do list is updated with less stuff yet to be done. ;)
