Description:

Hi There!

This is my replica of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules
Most details and parts are taken from J version, so i mark it as J version
Known issues:
– Its bit hard to get it out of the hangar, since its only 0.5 meters less width than the doors
– Chassis can bug out from time to time without a reason, in that case its a respawn or try to lower the speed and spin it a bit to get rid of that issue

I think you may need some startup instructions:


1) Get in and make sure that you sit in the pilot seat (with control indicator on)
2) Turn on monitors/avionics/power
3) Turn on fuel pumps (front panel top)
4) Turn on the engine starters (top panel) + turn engins ON
5) Switch on the taxi/reverse thrust mode (requires low speed + rps) to get out of the hangar/to drive to the airstrip
6) Set parking brake Off
7) You are ready to fly, make sure that you pressed the reverse/taxi thrust mode off
8) Add throttle and get up in the sky


Controls
  • W/S – Roll
  • A/D – Pitch
  • Left/Right – Yaw
  • Up/Down – Throttle

Functions:
  • – GPS Autopilot

Some info:

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. More than 40 variants of the Hercules, including civilian versions marketed as the Lockheed L-100, operate in more than 60 nations.

The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in 1956, followed by Australia and many other nations. During its years of service, the Hercules has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations. In 2007, the transport became the fifth aircraft to mark 50 years of continuous service with its original primary customer, which for the C-130 is the United States Air Force (USAF). The C-130 is the longest continuously produced military aircraft, having achieved 70 years of production in 2024. The updated Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules remains in production as of 2024.
