About This File

This is a very special plane! The Boeing 767 AWACS

An airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar system designed to detect aircraft, ships and vehicles at long ranges and control and command the battle space in an air engagement by directing fighter and attack aircraft strikes. AEW&C units are also used to carry out surveillance, including over ground targets and frequently perform C2BM (command and control, battle management) functions similar to an Airport Traffic Controller given military command over other forces. Used at a high altitude, the radars on the aircraft allow the operators to distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft hundreds of miles away.

The E767 is used by the Japanese airforce, so that is the only livery included at the moment.

READ THIS AS I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS:

  • The plane may have an epileptic seizure in flight, to rectify this, turn off the artificial stability, located on the top left corner of the overhead panel
  • The plane's LIT textures do not include windows of the fuselage
  • Reading the manual is very useful, be sure to take a look at it before consulting with me.

Looks great I will certainly be downloading this soon. Does the radome have an effect on the flight dynamics?

The plane is a little heavier than the regular 767-200ER, and the radome shouldn't have too much of an affect

I was kind of wondering wether the radome had an aerodynamic affect on the aircrafts handling.

In real life, yes, the radome does have a bit of an effect, acting as an extra "wing" that provides just a bit of extra lift, from what my rw comrades told me during my rw flying days aboard the US AWACS. And it def adds some weight; it weighs 30 tons! The trainers for the US AWACS had no radome, so they had to but several 50-gal drums of water in the "aft baggage area" to simulate the weight of the rotodome.

I found a bug on the throttle. When I lower my throttle to idle, the engines dramatically rev up. So I have to put the throttle somewhere above the idle position. I you found the problem, PM back.
