E-3A AWACS

[bungee]

Hallo everybody,
I'm new and I got here,because I fly the E-3A Nato AWACS you have as a wonderful painting in the library.
Over the last years I was looking for a real panel for the AWACS,because it's so much different from the "old stuff".Is there anybody able to tell me,why I can't find one?
I actually can provide all informations to create one for the designers amongst you.
Cheers,
bungee

We're slowly getting our "BOEING" panels together.

We still "hope" to offer panels for most of the miltary aircraft in the future (most of these are currently under temporary assignment to civil B707 panels as you'll see from the "C135 - WHAT PANEL WHICH PLANE" posting on our "ABOUT HJG AIRCRAFT" page), but, it's a huge undertaking .... as I 'm sure you appreciate .... and it just isn't going to happen quickly as much as we'd love to be able to bring these to the communuity immediately.

In fact I've recently prioritized CONVAIR panels and aircraft base pack updates over development of military panels .... simply to bring all our current aircraft base packs and panels up to the same dual FS2004/FSX level of compatibility.

The only other military panels currently available are those by "Chuck GRIMES" .... I think these are "PACER CRAG" type panels.

They're available from FLIGHTSIM.COM .... just search "CHUCK GRIMES" .... or .... "GRIMES".

I'm not sure how well these panels might react to our FDE though.
