Royal Air Force C-130 C3 Package adapted for FSX. This is the Simshed C-130 with all gauges replaced with FSX compatible gauges in both the VC and 2d panel. Now you can fly the best freeware C-130 in your FSX. Panel updates by Dannier Garnier, Bourbon-Lancy, France. Thank you for downloading the SIMSHED Hercules. This is my rendition of the Royal Air Force C-130 C3. Available in Grey and Green versions.

I have a great time making this aircraft for MS FS2004 and hope you have as much fun flying it. My thanks for assistance with testing, paintwork and other assistance goes to:-

Chris Coarse
Clive Ryan
Alan Middleton
Garry Dickenson
Andrew Wiggins

And especially to Mike Hambly for his unmistakeable Hercules sound and Clive Ryan for his suberb 2D Panel which I have adapted for use in the VC.

Controls used in this aircraft are

Loading ramp - Tailhook control
Entrance doors - SHIFT E
Wipers - Concorde Nose raise and lower (I suggest you use W and Shift W)

The Rudder and rudder pedals are deliberately locked when the aircraft is on the ground, similarly the nose wheel steering wheel is inoperative whilst the aircraft is airborne.

I may be producing other variants shortly particularly the J

Does it work with p*rated versions of FSX?

I paid for the game; I haven’t downloaded it for free—I’m just curious.

CSARmedicSat, 30 Nov 2019 17:40:41 GMT

If you need some shots of inside the J, I MAY be able to get some as my old unit is converting to J's now. If so, go direct John.Schiller@gmail.com

alanlovesbrandySat, 30 Nov 2019 17:14:45 GMT

Same as below. VC unusable due to view. Map of no use. Separate gauges do not work. Big shame.

jpop8807Wed, 15 Aug 2018 19:45:31 GMT

Agreed with the above. Seperate gauges do not work. As well for when I'm in the VC cockpit a big chrome thing runs from the guage cluster to the top of the screen. Like and overstretched panel.

varitec91Mon, 09 Oct 2017 21:55:50 GMT

Separate gauges don´t work, Gps is only black box with a the small plane in center, anopther appear how a orange box Tested in FSX Steam edition .

having problems putting this download c130 into the fsx listed available aircraft section. no trouble at all placing files with 2004.where it flies like a dream. thank you for this super aircraft.
jwblackThu, 05 Aug 2010 03:47:21 GMT
It worked on FSX, VC and 2D could use some work and seperate gauges don't work, but easy install, good effects, speed brake, rear door and exits really cool and flies great. Worth the download, especially for the screenshots, thank you.
