Ok, I've reworked many of the current internal textures of the KC plus a new AFOTEC test livery for it and a new overspeed/stall sound provided by KOMET (many thanks to him). So, as soon as you can get on Mumble we can talk/work about this ;) .

I'll get on now.

Today we are going to install IT-AUTOFLIGHT. I only have from now to lunchtime, then I am going with a friend to some places.

UPDATED TO-DO LIST IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE (deadline TBD):

1) make a whole new AP panel in the center part of the cockpit (where the current one stays) based on the 777 one.
2) put new radio comms under the throttle levers + TACAN instrument (using 757/787 as reference).
3) improve the trims (using 757/787 as reference).
4) work on the boom operator office (new instruments, fix the point of view in RT (makes the rear aircraft part invisible), etc. + onox)
5) work on fuel tanks and payloads (reduce available payload and add a standard load, implement fuel consumption while refueling, onox as reference).
6) improve ATA refueling (boom texture and model + code, onox model)
7) create custom CDUs which work properly (size, position and texture).
8) add a MFD between the two CDUs which works as TCAS, systems, and other.
9) 3D engines models: UV map, smoke.
10) work on both engineer and overhead panel (improve instruments and move some from the eng to the oh).
11) improve the magnetic compass instrument (make it fixed and place a new compass).
12) improve engines sounds.
13) add a few passenger seats to the cabin.
14) remove/change cargo loaders (onox model)
15) implement MP dual control for co-pilot and boom operator.
16) add those nice CSeries headphones to the top of the cockpit.


This is the lot, then we'll have a break and start on the AWACS with those sexy CFM engines (which will feature many similar changes so it will take less time to have a better aircraft).
Regards, Mav
