Special Thanks to Jens Borgstroem (Duckling Air) for creating
the Flight Dynamics for this Aircraft, checking, writing and
reformatting various files, compiling this package and much more.

NOTAM: This aircraft is in FS2000 Format !
The FS2000 Professional Edition Patch #2B Program should be installed.
This *needed* PATCH file is 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 '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. Thats it........go fly
!! 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: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Maze/1190/
