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

Unzip this file directly into your FS2004 (FS9) folder.
