Special Thanks to Jens Borgstroem (Duckling Air) for creating
the Flight Dynamics for this Aircraft.

NOTAM: This aircraft is in FS2000 Format !
The FS2000 Standard Edition Patch #2B Program Should be installed.
OR
The FS2000 Professional Edition Patch #2B Program Should be installed.
These *needed* PATCH files are available from microsoft.com and
SurClaro plus other Flightsim sites on the Net.
In FS2000 you can set input for control to less sensitive for more
realistic handling and feel !
But with Jens Borgstroem's new FS2K air file included in this zip, you
should start with controls set to 'middle' (= default setting ).
To install:
-----------
UnZip to your FS2000\AIRCRAFT Folder using WinZip or similar program
making sure the "INCLUDE SUBFOLDERS" Box is checked.
!! Panel and sound are set for *default* = B737 panel and sound !!
Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel and go flying.
I can recommend a complete set of sounds named:
fa2ksnd.zip ( for FS2000) by Mike Hambly which can be found at Flightsim .com
These are recordings from an actual C-130
Also you can add the sounds of the C-130 APU with the file 130HQAPU which
can be found at:

Also reccommended are the C130 Panels by David Giles
