Jmav,

We will look at the registration text.
EPU 3D model is not there because it is missing textures. We will fix this.
I'll do that now.
AP works correct. Just like a real plane, you need to push FLCH before it will climb/descend. (or VS)

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

KC-137R:
1) improve the trims (using 757/787 as reference).
2) create custom CDUs which work properly (size, position and texture).
3) work on fuel tanks and payloads (reduce available payload and add a standard load, implement fuel consumption while refueling, onox as reference).
4) improve ATA refueling (boom texture and model + code, onox model)
5) add a MFD between the two CDUs which works as TCAS, systems, and other.
6) 3D engines models: UV map, smoke.
7) work on both engineer and overhead panel (improve instruments and move some from the eng to the oh).
8) add a few passenger seats to the cabin.
9) remove/change cargo loaders (onox model)
10) implement MP dual control for co-pilot and boom operator.
11) add the 707 refuel switch to the RT.
12) knife the boom and edit it.

EC-137R:
1) improve the AWACS officer area by adding maps, NDs, upgrade/remove current instruments)
2) change AWACS officer point of view.
3) create new liveries for it (JMav)
4) add a MFD under the engines display which works as TCAS, systems, and other.
5) improve the airframe 3D model (searching volunteers)
6) 3D engines models: UV map, smoke.
7) implement MP dual control for co-pilot and AWACS officer.


This is the lot.
Regards, Mav

Great. Note that FMS stuff is dependent on me finishing my FMS framework. It should be ready next month or so.

Did we not finish the boom operator office in the KC?

The rest I think we can do. Let's try to do the so panel (and radios?) today.

Cross out in the KC:

1
4
10

Cross out in the EC:

1
5

Please do not list duplicate things. Unless they don't apply, everything in the KC goes to EC, and vice versa.

Done. Fixed also the EC list so now there aren't duplicated things.

I think that as soon as we implement the CDUs and add more things, we can start with the RC too. ;)

OK. CDUs will take a long time. They can't be a requirement. CDUs are extremely complex.
