Air Simulation Company DCS: C130J

Oh yes, I’m getting it as well. No doubt. But if I could chose… :wink:

I do too!

The C-130 could use many of the other shortfields but Honningsvåg is too tight.
We operate the Dash8 in and out of there, but I wouldn’t go there in anything larger than that.

I’d love to see that. The guys behind the Kola Map do have plans to keep working on the map for the forseeable future and they’ve been pretty good at pushing out updates every 4months or so for the most part.

They’ve had two giveaways on the 4YA discord, one of which I was able to attend about halfway through, where they’ve done a Q&A and talked about future plans. All in all it did sound very promising. It includes plans to rework the summertextures and some of the winter textures as well as including more and more towns and some of the smaller airports as time goes on. Some of the towns that are yet to come already have the road network in place for example.

Is it a wingspan problem? Because it seems the Dash 8 has a wide gear.

The wingspan can possibly be an issue but landing and taking off requires rather tight maneuvering.
Here’s a vid showing circling i to RWY08.

I’m not gonna pretend that buying that module didn’t excite me a bit, like the old days

I’m thinking about the whole cockpit in VR with Headphones on.

I just want to split the throttles, kick the rudder and see how fast of a side slip i can get. Because i take nothing seriously

So…

Manuals? Reading materials? Hit me. I can start one already thanks to the mod, but be nice to start some learning.

Also, how come every time i make a line in the sand and say I’m done, no more dcs purchases, does this happen and another epic aircraft is released.

My 2tb ssd is installed now, its time to sabre, hind, 19 and tomcat again once I’m back from hols.

I hope my g1 still works…

Although it is still an early access release, Blackbird Simulations/MilViz have a C130J out for MSFS. Their manual might be a good intro.

If that spartan driver can do it, you can do it better. Herc is twice as much plane as a spartan, so go do some of thay pilot ■■■■ mate!

There’s some reading material to compute/program computed air release points (CARP) for accurate delivery of paratroopers and materials. Hope it helps.

I’m curious why they chose the J instead of something more mainstream/exported that fits the timelines of our other modules and terrains better like the non-Super Herc. Fancy sensors and more variety of subvariants?

I need to staple my wallet shut, swear to god.

Probably because there’s no driving force behind DCS module development and this started out as a passion-project mod that made it to the big-time and got approved as an official module.

It is the problem with DCS…

This looks really cool. We have to get a mudspike C130 crew going
