Thank you Catalanoic for the kind words!
There's still a lot of work on it even if a lot has already been done. ;)

Do you guys know someone who is very good at creating rather complex instruments? Because there's need for that in the KCs...

In the mean time I've done significant work on sounds which are going to be released later. Martien has done an awesome work on the nose door of the RC!

Not instrument
Panel

Isn't the AP thing merged with the EFIS?

Just part of it (second to the left panel which includes both AP and EFIS controllers).
The AP data is displayed on the AI screen.

The family will soon feature updated digital indicators on some analogical instruments regarding the engineer panel.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

hey folks,

haven't had a lot of time available in the past few months to be on FG so I was shocked to see how much progress has been made on this aircraft family. well done!!! haven't had the chance to test all the models and new features yet but it looks fantastic on my first impression today.

one small thing - I noticed that on the splash screens you give credit to yourselves. While you have no obligation to do so, it would be nice if you gave credit to lake of constance hangar, from which 90%+ of the code originates from, and perhaps myself and firefly for the original improvements from which you guys forked your repo from.

keep up the great work :)

Glad you are enjoying! :D

That is because they didn't do any KC work, just 707 work. If the screen said 707 and KC-137Rs etc when that is different. And it's all GPL. But we may add Lake Constance hanger.

I do not know what JMav did initially, but when I got involved I rebuild the package from the base 707 completely. It's forked from there ;)

There is no need to credit LoC o the splashes since it is known that our model is a derivation from the original one made by 'em. I forked my project from another fork of the original 707 which was just the basic 707TT with CFM LEAP-X engines. I forked that and started improving textures, systems and other stuff.
Then I asked Josh for help and we made 6 planes out of the original project.
Main KC-137R project is ours, plus LoC is credited nearly in every original file still in the plane. ;)
