Yep, that would be my repo. It's also referenced in the first few (3?) posts of this thread when COL linked to it. Though the engines (and engine struts) are one of the only visible changes there were a lot of internal changes too.
Almost all of the current liveries on the KC-137R, still include the double-lined "face" I did which stems from here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/KC-135_100th_Air_Refueling_Wing.jpg unless you re-did that yourselves (?), in which case I am mistaken.
Also, interestingly, you forked my repo but then copied it into a new repo with a new init commit, thereby eliminating the commits from my repo
which I don't 100% understand but whatever. https://github.com/JMaverick16/KC Anyways, as I said you have no obligation to give me, or firefly, or the other people that helped on the improvements from that time any credit, just like I could copy the current repo, remove your names (and commits) and put mine on the splash screen and submit it to the fgaddon (which I'm not going to do, just making a point). This is one of the great parts of open source!
Though you have no obligation, it would be nice. And yes while there is no need to credit LoC (see above) I wouldn't assume everyone automatically knows where the model came from, especially new members of the community. One benefit of giving credit, is specifically that the new members will have a change to discover that hangar and the really nice other models they make. This is a very small "price" to pay for the years those original developers put into it.
Keep up the great work, I look forward to all the improvements you guys will make in the future. Please don't take my comments as criticism, I am really happy that this project is moving forward as I have a great deal of love for that plane. Maybe in the future if I have some time (unlikely
) I will contribute to it again.
