One arrow is NAV1 one arrow is NAV2

I can't change the other part, this is a limitation of the Canvas Nav Display (which I cannot edit).

Sadly.
:(
One day when I finish learning Canvas, I'll correct this. (2017 goal: LEARN CANVAS SYSTEM)

Here's a hint:
Block 45

All aircrafts are now getting an upgrade, which is coming from the real aircrafts!

--//--BLOCK 45 --//--

XX=Engine not running

NOTE: In CFM versions, the EPR stays XX'ed out. This is normal behavior, as CFM/GE engines do not have an EPR parameter. When the Block 45 is complete, I will make a CFM versions with N1 as the primary.

So far working: ENGINE: EPR, N1, EGT, N2, FLAPS: Green bars and labels

Next to come, nav display, FF numbers, Oil Pressure, EPR limits (N1 limit will come with CFM versions)

Note: Missing from the screenshot: EPR, N1, EGT, N2 labels, will add via OSGtext in a moment. I removed them from the texture, as they were causing some issues.

I have also installed a new autothrottle system, which uses engine EPR (IAE) or N1 (CFM) to set thrust. The Speed-by-throttle needs a little more work, it works, but it needs a little more precision.

In addition!
I have added a system I call Wing Leveller and Pitch Stabilization Augmentation System (WL/PSAS) This system was designed to make the tanker more stable in flight for refueling, as the heading drifts/pressure changes can cause the AP to move the plane around, which is not optimal for refueling. There are two parts, the Wing Leveller is self-explanatory, but PSAS is similar to a CWS system. The elevator input (controls/flight/elevator) will now adjust target pitch, instead of the elevator. The elevators are adjusted by PI-Simple controller for elevator, and also autotrim. This way, setting a pitch of 4deg UP, will be kept, even if thrust changes, or the aircraft banks. I am also adding a VS=0 option to it, but that is not ready yet. This can be controlled by the WL/PSAS menu inthe aircraft menu, cockpit switches, and and a key to open dialog will be added.

Cheers
Josh

@JWOCKY and others:
Would you be able to help us find with the models cause crashes when spawning over multiplayer in a particularly crowded area?
It's really important to solve that issue and since the devel team can't stop updates to search for possible unknown issues it'd be nice that more people can contribute to improve this aspect.
Regards and thanks in advance, Mav
