progress status

Instead of the central additional fuel tank, I would like to integrate a "RECCE-POD" with 'funky-tree' functionality that controls the LGB (paveway GUB12 +16) so that when the POD is switched on, the laser-guided bombs can be used. otherwise not.

- I am still working on finalizing some other Details ..

Thank you all and stay 'healthy' 🥂
