SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Barry Blaisdell for his beautiful 'Kodiak C130g USCG' model.
Barry has been gracious enough to grant me permission to do this repaint.
Alan Stuart who has kindly supplied the accompanying Photo's in "History" and which have also allowed me to do a fairly accurate representation of this marvelous old aircraft.
I also wish to thank Sean Galbraith who has gone before me with an FS5 version of the "Blue Stripe' paintwork.
I also wish to thank Trevor Golding for searching an OLD memory (his words, not mine) Thanks for your help Trevor.
INSTALLATION:
Simple! just unzip the 'nzafc130.zip' to your FS2000\AIRCRAFT Folder, using WinZip or similar program, making sure the "INCLUDE SUBFOLDERS" Box is checked. This action will create a folder called "Hercules C130H RNZAF" in your FS2K AIRCRAFT directory along with the various subfolders required.
By pressing the "L" key you will turn the landing lights on and off. The landing lights will automatically turn off once the main gear is retracted.
PLEASE NOTE: the red windows of the flight deck and portholes that can be seen at night, are intentional and represent the dim red glow of night lighting used to illuminate the flight deck and cargo-bay during military operations.
The Panel and sound are set for *default* = B737 panel and sound. Add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel and go flying.
Mike Hambly has produced a complete set of sounds named: fa2ksnd.zip (for FS2000) which can be found at Flightsim .com These are recordings from an actual hercules C-130.
Also you can add the sounds of the C-130 APU with the file 130HQAPU which can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Maze/1190/
I also suggest that you search SurClaro.com & SurClaro for a suitable panel to go with this aircraft.
