I'm not sure I want you to change everything BTW. And it's not about redoing things.
If you think that it is possible to add a second type of PFD without breaking things or working too much then we can try, otherwise I have no idea.
Or we keep it like that or we ask for help.

ALL the aircrafts we are working on have this style of cockpit/panel/overhead.
Some have more glass than others, but they're all similar.
About the new big MFD in the center part of the cockpit, well I have an idea about how to make something similar which doesn't make us redoing everything from scratch.

Also, today I've changed the RC cockpit a bit and bugfixed the new altimeter but still it needs some work 'cause it disappears in the other views.
(e.g. If I've placed it in the pilot view, you can't see it when looking at it from the other internal views).

I understand perfectly. I knew it all the time and tried to make ours at least similar. I've tried to tell you through the time that it's not similar, starting from the overhead.

But its fully different. We'd have to completely redesign the overhead from scratch.

Is there a way to make the Nav display show airports, navaids and similar? Because otherwise it's pretty fictional.

Perfect! Mind that now it's in the overhead for all versions.

In the mean time, I've made all the radars work!

Still under testing and development, but probably the C-137R will feature winglets in the near future:
