Here's another thing to add to the to do list if you'd like... align the HUD properly. Right now it's too far to the right.

Will check and fix asap, thanks for reporting ;) .

@MD-GRK I wasn't talking about that one, but about the one on top of the tail, I can't find a pic right now but I'm sure I've saw one some days ago.
But, I found out that the E-8R has a front nose beacon in addition to the two other: https://youtu.be/AxYHTppUybo .
Martien has already modeled the light in 3D but it isn't a light yet so if someone could add I'd be cool (I have no idea about how a light is added).

I'm fixing the ITAF tomarrow. It's a deal breaker.

Sorry for the delay JMav16.

Thanks Josh.
New commit now fixes the HUD to all variants, implements the radar view to the E-8R and adds an additional antenna to the RT.

Mmmm wing flex implementation is not as easy as it seems... especially if the 707 model uses one single file for wings:

Anyone who has some kind of knowledge in this?

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

ahahahaha

@jmaverick16 the 707 wing is stiff, and does not flex alot. Don't bother with it, it will only hog frames.

IT MUST be seperated parts of wing (see the MD-11)

Anyone good at creating custom PFDs? Because RC-137R (and probably also the others) would require one...

KC-137R family is getting more digital!

In the past few days many improvements have been made to all the 6 variants of the pack, making the current planes versions the most advanced ever seen. Thanks to all the people involved in helping in the project now we have:

- custom EFB fully working in the overhead.
- digital numbers added to the engineer fuel instruments, like the latest RL planes have.
- general sound improvements including an altitude alert system, improved GPWS and more.
- fully working ITAF autopilot in all versions.
- Full RC-137R Rivet Joint 3D model, matching the real life RC-135V/W.
- large livery pack for the E-8R JSTARS including most of the current RL planes in service.

And a lot more!

And keep in mind it's still not finished and in active development!
