Ooh, good question. I'll have to add it to the panel later.
It can be done on the radio page of the CDU.

As stated before, KC-137R has now got a working autoland.
Earlier I've finally done some general cleanup of old, unused files and updated a few textures.
I'm currently working on a new clock instrument based on the one present in the 777.

I've tried (literally) every button on the CDU, and am unable to change the radial. Can you give a how-to?

Yes, it's broken. I just tested.

Okay, I add an radial knob somewhere. I'll let you know when it's added.

A good place would be under the radar between the CDUs. There's some place over there...
Today I'll probably start working on JSTARS liveries!
