C-130 FSX AWESOME ADD-ON FOR FSX [Posted on 2008-11-15]
First off, I am not a pilot. I have spent lots of time in a C-130 as an airborne soldier in the past. I have used MS flight sim since the beginning. I must say this is the best add-on aircraft I have ever purchased. The textures of the exterior and interior of the aircraft are so real. The virtual cockpit and camera views are stunning. The aircraft is so fun to fly its become my favorite in FSX. The detail abounds including numerous panels which nearly every switch operates. Buy this now and you wont regret it for a moment. Besides, you will save lots of money rather than ordering it direct.

Best C-130 Experience with MSFS [Posted on 2008-11-17]
This expansion for the MS2004 and MSX is the best C-130 experience for any experienced and inexperience simulator pilot. The program is very easy to install and comes complete with a 240 page pilot's notes manual for quick reference and for expansive information about the C-130's systems, technology, and checklists.

The book, [...] brings all the proceedures, take/off landing speeds, emergency proceedures, real pilots manuals (PDF) and much more.

The 2004 installation comes with 3 models with 53 liveries (paint jobs). The FSX installation comes with 11 variations of models with 28 paint jobs. This installation is especially cool with the AC-130, KC-130, Blue Angels with jet assist, coast guard and the well known Lynden L-100 with 3 variations.

The interior is as close to photo-realistic as your video card allows, with full virtual cabin. Every button, switch, knob, dial and guage works as in a real C-130 on the pilots, copilots, and nav's areas. Emergency proceedures are especially fun because if you dont do things in the right order, FS doesnt pick up the slack. I have already enjoyed 6+ hours of flying around. I don't plan on putting it down.

One word of advise, get pedals for coordinated turns, and make sure you visit avsim.com for advanced scenery for Little Rock, or Rammstein AB. FS2004 has an awesome add-on for KLRF with the addition of over 70 C-130s on the ramp that complete missions and fly patterns at all times of the day and are a blast with new voice packs. I highly reccommend expanding your Flight Simulator Experience with this pack and some new downloads.

disapointed [Posted on 2008-12-16]
If you are into the tech end of the c-130 this is the expansion for you. There is an instruction book that is almost an inch thick that covers every system on the aircraft. There are however,no missions to fly. You can take off,fly around and land and thats it. It was not what I expected and I no longer use it.
