Just for your notes, the AC EXT PWR referenced at 19:39 shuts off when you turn the ATM on at 12:42, not sure if that effects your docs or not.
Love your videos Jonathan, I dont miss a single one!
@@matthewpower3062 I fixed that :)
This is the BEST cargo plane module texturing on MSFS2020 so far! Welcome back on track CptSim ✌
Inibuilds airbus a300-600RF left the chat
If it isn’t half assed and hopefully could get a gtn or gns retrofit ,
Great to see Captain Sim making a comeback. Thanks for the video.
well if it's old Captain Sim from 2008 back then welcome back
Looks nice ! During my RAF service in the 80s I spent around 60 hours in a C-130 flying to the Middle East, Cyprus , RAF Lyneham and the list goes on.....used to hang a hammock in the back and try and sleep, which was difficult over the noise of the engines. Toilet is on the ramp with a shower curtain for privacy....I did sit behind the pilots on the way to Cyprus and don't remember there being a navigators station but I could be wrong.
Yes there was a nav station, I too have had enough(!) hours as a passenger on the the a/c..the poor heating, the noise plus the recovery time needed after 8 plus hours in one 😊
21:07 Flaps 50 for takeoff. Great review as always!
You did an excellent job explaining the startup procedures I have this video playing while I was sitting inside my plane it was nice to feel like I had an instructor
Thaaanks so much for doing this review. I missed this plane so much in msfs 2020. I would be very happy if Captain Sim regains the old strengths.
Very excited to see this! I loved the FS2004 and FSX versions of this aircraft. I have hundreds of hours in the original Captain Sim C-130.
This coming from a former C-130H Crew Chief, these guys nailed it.
It's pretty good, isn't it :)
If they will do the same with 707 and 727 that won't be bad at all!
Well done..thank you so much for the review!! flag in efb raises a flag above the pilot hatch....really good, glad to see captain sim back!
Awesome; now I can relive losing my hearing from Bagram AF to Al Udeid virtually! I can still hear the loud hum of those engines and the ringing in my ears.
Great video Mr. Beckett! I just came across your content and you found yourself a new subscriber.
Cheers :)
Yes I’m one of those baby boomers that use to fly CS back in the day .. they were very good back then.
wow.. Keep it up CS!!!
1:14:00 Well, you had entered a 6000 feet / minute descent right before switching to Little Navmap. So, yeah, probably just a scratch. 😬
To receive a TACAN / VOR signal you need to have line of sight to the station. You have been way too low for that so far out between all those mountains probably. Also, a TACAN / VOR doesn‘t neccesarily provide distance information. It has to be a VOR/DME. Edwards VORTAC is a terminal station and therefore should work only from appr. 1000 to 12000 feet and for distance up to 25 NM. (Might be different in the simulator, though.)
I was too far away :) And trying to do three things at once, mis-read LittleNavMap :)
Thanks for doing this and the autopilot. I've been looking for info myself. @23:58 for anyone looking at this for more info the wipers are on co-pilot side.
Heh - I found the wipers eventually too :)
Well let's see here. One livery. Ported sound set from the Asobo King Air. No smoke effects. No paint kit. Future liveries/texture packs exclusive from CS will be at additional cost.
I had/have the C-130 Xpeirence for FSX, it is a good plane.
Thanks indeed for making this vid
Still missing a lot of details especially when we talk about C130H or C130E, we talk about its sound, also the size of cockpit windows from exterior seems not accurate as much as it looks in reality, so I hope Captain sim looks to fix these details as we wish soon
Only one livery. Hopefully we'll get some old British markings for this. I love the Hercules - I built an Airfix model of it when I was a kid, back in the 1970s.
We lived near RAF Brize Norton growing up - one day while out on our bikes, the Airfix C130 flew overhead - 305, I seem to remember :)
i was amazed to see this recently with their teases on facebook. needless to say i was a total fan boy of the c130 in fsx. it would be nice to hear from them about what they plan..for things like other variants , liverys etc.. nice vid
Milviz are bringing a C-130J, so hopefully not long and the herc will be nicely represented in MSFS.
@@thomassaunders6494 neat, but not the same
WOW! It has a cockpit :O
Captain Sim has always had great modeling and textures. They have never done study level aircraft and make them just complex enough as to give the feeling of putting in the effort of flying a complex aircraft without all the aggravation. That said, their reputation in MSFS is well deserved after they released their FSX C-130 into the sim with no cockpit for a pretty high price, then they went about insulting the repainters saying they couldn't do justice to Captain Sim aircraft, and so didn't release a paint kit for any of their newer aircraft. This soured the community on them even further. So, while this may look nice and I did have all the CS C-130 addons in FSX, until they make further in roads to righting the ship, I am going to pass on this for now.
It has potential. A lot of us share the same sentiment in Regards to the legacy C130, a third party tweak could easily bring this up to standard
@@jamesdouglas3631 Ah, but that is just it. This is up to CS's usual standard, so I take it at face value. The inability to see the cargo hold from inside the aircraft is merely an inconvenience as I rarely even look at the cabins in my GA aircraft or airliners so that part is not a huge deal. No, the sticking point with me is their disdain towards the repainting community who over the years have made CS aircraft shine inside and out, and now they are just dismissing them, add to that the fact this only comes with one repaint, and CS will most likely sell you more, you can then see my reluctance to support them at this time.
Captain Sim went from excellent in the past to trash in the present. I hope they pick it back up again.
I think Captain Sims business model is to target the casual gamer flight simmers who fly predominately in external view and don;t care about systems, flight dynamics, cockpits, etc. I believe back in the day they wanted to be a major player in aircraft simulation, but I think the standards and skills required to produce a high quality systems rich aircraft these days far exceeds their capabilities. I do believe relatively speaking their products in this case should be much cheaper.
❤thanks❤ Jonathan. Good work
great to see a classic come to the sim.
shame its badly done, missing a lot.
@@wout123100 Such as?
12:52 When you have external power, you would not turn on the ATM generator switch. With external, ALL the AC buses are powered. When you turned on the ATM generator, it kicked off the external power and the only bus you had powered was the Essential AC.
13:05 For the inverters, you would rotate the copilot's AC Instruments inverter switch to power it by essential AC but leave the AC inst and engine fuel control inverter switch in the essential DC position.
Thank you for the feedback - in the absence of any documentation I was just following the (very sparse) checklist :)
You fly the Herc by adjusting prop - the engines run at a constant setting - like a helicopter.
Erm... I think you have that backwards. The propellers run at a constant speed - like most turboprops. The power levers adjust the amount of fuel pumped into the gas turbine, and then the blade pitch is governed automatically based on the power available (hence the torque gauges - reflecting how much stress is being put through the propellers).
Looks great. How and where would the rear ramp be operated in real life. Obviously not a clipboard 😊. Maybe there's a switch somewhere you could click on in flighr?
There is a a C130 Sim Pack. On the purchase page you had up earlier, choose the c130 and it will drill down to the addon pack.
Can you please provide more information. I cannot find what you are referring to. Thanks.
Looks alright, needs more development and more systems.. The Captain Sim Hercules was really good in FSX and probably my favorite plane in FSX!
As a C-130 I cringed a bit watching this. I haven’t operated the plane in 12 years but watching the errors brought back some memories.
I was winging it :) there are next to no instructions with it :)
@@jonbeckett no fault of your own. Wasn’t a dig :-)
I’ve only flown the CS C-130 with Air Force procedures so never bothered to look at their documentation. Glad to see it’s got some depth, I might actually get it. Be the first CS aircraft I purchased in many many years.
port to DCS 😀 please also gunship :) i like the old version way better then the glass cockpit look
This might be my go-to cargo plane now, it gives the Azurpoly Transall a run for it's money.
Does it? I'll give it a shot. But love transall, with it's para droos
Great Video Jonathan, spent a couple of years at RAF Lyneham, so a must buy for me. Would you say this is at the same level of study as the C160 from AzurPoly?
Not quite - but it's not bad at all.
Hopefully they can do the AC-130 from fsx, but no weapons are allowed.
Thanks Jon for the ACTUALLY showing what it does, how it flies etc. I know you took a risk on this one judging by the past. Currently the only other thing on youtube is a guy crying about it like an ex-girlfriend every couple of hours.
I think it's very good. Yes, it's expensive, but it's perfectly useable.
@@jonbeckett Good to know - think I'm going to go ahead with the risk too. Reading they are now in coordination with another group to make a soundpack for a future update, as well as removal of the external tanks, and some other tweaks like adding in "APU" sounds. If he actually keeps improving it, it will be an outstanding old school C130 from what I can tell. Thanks again!
lol...i know which one..😂
This is by far imho, the best payware aircraft for MSFS😮
what are you smoking i could name 10
@@Rickk69er , well, go ahead! (Btw, i don’t smoke)
@@jpht1964
Just Flight F28 and BAE 146, PMDG 737, Leonardo Maddog, ATR 42/72, iniBuilds A300, A310, Fenix A320, FSS Ejets, A2A Comanche, Black Square King Air, Heatblur F14. All comparable or better payware planes.
@@xenophon10k, well, yes, these payware aircraft aren’t bad. But the shear detail of this NEW c130h is just beyond awesome. But hey, I’m not such a big fan of MSFS anyways, i think its inferior to any other flight sim in the flightmodel department. Hopefully MS2024 will do better.
If you could only choose between this and the Transall C-160, which would you opt for and why?
I like them both :)
My version of this aircraft does not have an interior camera which took away pretty much all the immersion 😏🤔
Wow, shocking this actually looks interesting. My Brother was a Flight Engineer on the 130 in the Air Force. Would be interesting to see what he thinks when this comes out. What model/Variant C-130 is this?
Would love if they would remodel the 777/767 cockpits!
This is the same FSX model. I purchased it back in the day. It also has some of the same bugs... Wow the checklist is a bust, needs a lot of rewrite
It’s a shame CS did not implement a CDS or Personnel airdrop capability like AzurePoly did for the C-160. Now I’m going to have to go find my Nav bag and plan some multiplayer missions. How can I DM you?
This is coming to the Marketplace of course right!!! ?
I hope so, but only time will tell
Is it a full version? r and available for the Xbox soon looks amazing been waiting for the C-130 complete version and a C-17 which I've seen flying around on Microsoft for the Xbox yet it's not available
It's about 50% towards being realistic
Later on will Captain sim make this study level and will Milviz make a study level version.
i was excited to get this aircraft as i had the capt sim fsx c-130 (you got more liveries) and it was great so after watching your vid i went and bought it. and it flew wonderfully, most gauges worked and it turned in a dime on the ground and the flight was wonderful. recommended it to a friend who also bought it and we flew together and then it started, I had the second flight and my horror memories of their previous c-130 attempt came back to me. The plane tipped over on the tarmac with parking brake on as i spooled up, all the cockpit gauges are frozen, i have no idea where i am or how high up i am. I restarted and same thing happened 2 or 3 times. I deleted and reinstalled, more repeats of the same. Russian quality control like their nuclear subs is still not that great. Contacting support.
Is this the one CS has had before just with a cockpit now or a whole new product?
Looks like a new product.
@@jonbeckett thanks for the reply. I have the old one that is just the exterior, I was hoping they finally finished it. Always enjoy your vids, thanks again.
Any idea how to set up TCA Airbus quadrant for C-130???????????
I did it :) Just map the throttles to the throttle axis, and then set the offset for the reversers as per usual.
This actually looks really good dang. Has anybody in the comments bought this yet? It worth buying?
I bought it today.
No manual included. (Which is a joke for a complex plane like this.) At least I did not found one. But I was able to find one for the old FS 2004 Version and some real world manuals.
Next thing is, there are tons of switches and systems you can´t even click. Don´t know if it was the same in the old versions for FS 2004 / FSX.
So it seems to be very basic when it comes to system depth and probably way behind the Azurpoly C-160 in that regards. Which is funny, because the price is the same.
Did not fly it yet, though. So no comments on the flight model from my side.
If you´re looking for a study level plane, don´t buy it. But if your cup of tea is trying to land on your own balcony in the sim (or on a helipad with a 747) and if you´re not interested in real world cockpit procedures, it might be worth a look. Because the cockpit visuals are good.
@@schmo78 Good to know, thank you for the detailed explanation!
It is possible to open the ramp in flight?
Would you say this is best aircraft addon for MSFS from Captain scam?
I have not seen the other Captain Sim aircraft, so it's difficult to say.
What’s your opinion of the engine sound and is it authentic to the real c130
No idea. I haven't seen a C-130 for years. I grew up next to RAF Brize Norton, so should probably remember - that's 30 years ago now though :)
@@jonbeckett I was stationed there Jonathan in the mid 80s, Hercs did land there but were mainly based at RAF Lyneham. Plenty of VC10s and Tristars at Brize. Where did you live, Carterton or one of the outerlying villages ?
Hi Samuel, I was in the RAF in the 80s and travelled a fair bit in the back of a Herc on various trips abroad and this does sound very authentic from what I remember. Very noisy to travel in, defo need ear defenders. I'd say the engine sounds are pretty authentic.
@@coffeeguy6673I would expect much more noise, to be honest. Also, it‘s just a stock sound set, as it is noted on the Captain Sim website. That‘s a bit sad for the price.
Retired C-130 USAF Navigator here Jon. IIRC Door and Ramp speed is 180 KIAS. Appreciate you doing the video. Low Level cruise speed is ~210-240 KIAS at 300 AGL.
So is this live?
NOTE WELL..... DO NOT DO AUTO START ON THE C-130 HERCY BIRD. In the auto start the initial first main Gen switch is not turned on and the two inverters are not turned on as the right sided one controls cockpit gauges. So CS still didn't disappoint with russian quality control . Short story..LEARN THE RAMP START 😂
Apart from that I love flying it and used the lessons from dc6 in flight management and auto pilot works better than dc6
Guys: Captainsim does not have PayPal option on their website to purchase this module!! Is it safe?
It offered Paypal to me.
New update ? I have c130 too but cannot view cockpit
This is a separate aircraft/product from captainsim, not the same as the c130 external model from the same company.
Hej just testen and the Simulation is Not as Deep as the FS2400 version
How can I get this plane?
Can you open cargo while flying
I may not have been going slow enough to do it.
bonjour et merci pour la vidéo. Je reste toujours sur mes gardes quand il s'agit de captain sim et ce nouvel avion ne me fera pas changer d'avis. Cette entreprise a trop d'avis négatifs.
Where can one get more liveries?
I don't think you can yet.
They will have a pack soon
How did you get the GPU connected, please?
It's just a switch overhead - you don't have to connect anything outside - it's not modelled *that* accurately.
@@jonbeckett thank you!
Awesome aircraft, but the sound is not greater.
Does it have GPS?
Nope - and I very much doubt the original had GPS either :)
Time to sharpen them real pilot skills. Nothing like sectional charts, VORs, an E6B, and a timer my friend.
Captain SIm clearly does some beautiful models, but his flight models are his weakspot. How did it feel to fly?
Was very good.
Will this be coming to Xbox eventually
Probably ?
Way to go CS, one step forward and four back. Save your money guys. It ain't anywhere near worth it.
Need smoke engine
This aircraft needs to be updated to the current version with a glass cockpit.
So this tells me Captain sim could do this detailed modelling all along, they just chose the lazy, money making option instead. BTW this is coming from someone with no experience of them before msfs 2020.
Of course not for XBOX !!!!
It will come, dont worry
Everything else from Captain Sim has come to the xbox, don’t worry
Looks like captain sim is finally getting their shit together. Their historical stuff has been garbage
CS = hard pass
Yeah not that impressed actually
Very good review. I was surprised at the quality and the authentic cockpit Capt. Sim provided. The multiplayer trolls at the end ruined the whole video. So I have to give it a thumbs down. Too bad some idiots have nothing better to do than ruin someone's hard work. I bet they live in their mother's basement with no expectation of living a productive life.
The worst aircraft sound I have heard in MSFS so far. With 40 dollars, this plane is not even close to the pricing
If you fly multiplayer, you’re going to get trolled by 12 year old idiots. Stay off line.
It's been one of learning moments as I've become more well known - it's a shame that I'll end up having to record everything offline :/
@@jonbeckett absolutely. Your videos are amazing and they get ruined by those kiddos. Glad you logged off that server
well it's not like other players can crash into you or anything, seems pretty harmless to me
