KC-137R family project

I can't load any of the models. They do not appear in FGRUN. It also appears to be a slightly modified 707.

Alot of files should be renamed to keep the two separate,

I am not sure why, but the KC-137R was not made correctly. There are alot of extra files and variants. Can you come on Mumble tomorrow, and we can figure it out?

I know, it's current state is a bit weird (that's why I asked some help, also for fixing those bugs), but for me everything works fine, maybe I should just send you a zip file via dropbox so there won't be problems.
About Mumble, I'll be available in the evening (UTC time) if it's ok for you.
For the cockpit, just follow the pics I've sent you of the real KC-135R.

OK, sounds great.

EDIT: I have fixed the aircraft, it now shows up properly, and everything it renamed to KC-137R. If you want this on your Git repo, please:

1) Delete and create an empty git repo.

2) Give me push access (add as a collaborator) (Github username it0uchpods)

4) Let me know.

I will push up my copy, since it was remade from the 707, it cannot be merged into yours without breaking something. I have copied over the cockpit and changes and the FDM file, so if there is anythign else you changed, please tell me!

While I am able to launch the aircraft, now, I get about 6 nasal parse errors that I will need to solve. Additionally, none of the scripts appear to work, the aircrafts windscreen is frosted by default, and I cannot autostart. These are ALL Nasal issues, and I guess thats what happens when you get an aircraft that is VERY complex and try to modify it.

EDIT: This whole thing is very fucked up. The 707 is way to complex to just rename like that. I am having so many issues its not even funny. It was programmedd with the name "707" in mind, and will be EXTREMELY dificult to adapt. So I am going to adapt the 707VIP, but place in the 707TT model and cockpit.'

EDIT 2: Honestly I'm stuck. There is no way to change this name without going through every file manually. I don't have the time for that, there are 5124 total xml and nas files to go through! The find command changes the wrong things. b707 and 707 need to be different, and the find command fucks it all up. I if I can find the 707VIP, that already has one model and names change, and it would be easier to adapt that. What do you think?

EDIT 3: Fixed, read below

Honestly I don't know... it's strange you get so many errors on it, yet this version still needs some work from my side regarding the names etc.
What if you just work on the cockpit? It should be fine without changing all the name, or maybe not?

PS: Sorry for late answer but I was away from home .

Due to our great Mumble session, all the errors are fixed
The aircraft is rebuilt off of 707, and now works flawlessly, time to start on the cockpit

Fixed the stupid 707 heading hold issue.
Autopilot is fully working! I will add knobs for heading hold and course select, since the HSI is no more.
First ILS approach!!!



Outside!



PUSHED TO GIT!
