KC-137R family project

[J Maverick 16]

BUGS:
Livery select is broken.
Sometimes the number 2 engine is disapeare.
Autopilot LNAV mode disengages randomly.
Engines are NOT UVmapped.

- It happens with some livs which are made badly (by my side), or there's a bug in the code.
- I know that's weird, fortunately sometimes it returns!
- I know it, I've nearly fell from the sky to day... (this happened before I crashed an old version of it near the Malaysian coast several minutes ago).
- Engines also need a better modeling in the rear part and yes, they need to be mapped to another png file which ain't the livery. Also, they need contrails for both high and low altitudes (like FGUK's C-17 for example).

I will post as I fix things

3 of the 4 issues are fixed. I will address the AP later.

1) Livery folder name was wrong, causing the liveries to not "be there". Fixed issue 1.
2) There are two engine types, right now they are both CFM LEAP X, but they were PWs or RRs. When you put a livery it defines the engine to load. I added this to the set file, as well as using USAF as the default livery, Fixing issue 2.
4) For now, I have made the engines a gray color, once a new PNG is found, we can UVmap it instead.

Issues verified resolved on KC-137R and KC-137R-RT. Pushed to GIT.

I recieved a suggestion to add the EC-137D model and make the EC-137R. Permission to go ahead?

I will from now on push to my fork first, then merge into yours once it is stable. http://www.github.com/it0uchpods/KC-137R
JMaverick16 has push access.

Great you solved those bugs, thanks.

It was originally included in the KC project but I decided to remove it 'cause I wanted to concentrate on the tanker model.
If you want to make the EC-137R do it but as a separate repo so it has nothing to do with the KC-137R.

Also, if you want to create it, you should add the front part you can see in tis pic:

TO fill in others: We found a way to add the EC-137R good. Should be pushed. Also special veiws like Operating Officer and AWCAS Officer are installed.

Great!

I don't want to overload you with work on this project but what if you add to the repo also the basic 707 with new engines and the other changes so we can add the RC-137R to the whole thing?



Surely it would need some more work so let's keep it as the last aircraft to work on if you want to add it.
Let me know...

OK, I take a looksee.

Trying out the tanker at PAED and found out this problem (identical to the one my previous version had) regarding the boom operator:



Probably a sort of light cone gone wild...

Hmm, I never had that issue. I'll take a look. Maybe it was spawning at PAED that was the problem???

Was the aircraft started or not? Were the lights on or off?
