Hey i have purchased ((and love)) SimCaptain C130 pack ((which includes the CAF C130 E designation which is one of teh smaller C130 designs)) I was thinking it would be a class 2-3...but i noticed on the download section you have a 4 engine prop about half the size of the C-130E.

If Military Livery is a problem i will easily be bale to reskin it to include a CVA Skin.


Thanks in Advance!

Good question.

Because of slow speed of propeller C-130s, I believe it is in same class 1 as 4 propeller planes found in CVA fleet.

As for livery for C-130s, it is okay that you can use any livery AS LONG AS you observe strict rules of each flight's specific class plane requirement. Canadian military livery for your C-130s would be better:):):)

When you fly Captain Sim C-130s for first time, pay special attention to deicing and pitot tube because I have seen people's Captain Sim C-130s' propellers failing due to the fact they forget to activate deicing and pitot tube as well as anti winter measures.

Regards,

Aharon

Props are Class1, so fly away. This is why we ask our members to fly there first 25 hours in class 1, so as to learn how to operate these planes. Seems we have some pilots here who can not fly props because of a loophole in our rules. :? hummm maybe some thing to change in our next operations review.

Sorry, it's a class 1 aircraft.

Personally I would like class 1 planes divided for this very reason, but that is for management to decide.

I'd even add a class for helicopters.
