I do NOT have the C-130 basic model. I only bought the KC-130 expansion model because of its inflight refueling option. After installation I can't find the auxiliary fuel control panel (probably  because VC is not included in the pack).

Is there a key-solution to reel out the refueling pods?

Would I have to purchase the C-130-basic model to make the refueling system work?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Alan,
in the KC-130 manual it says:
The ‘KC-130 Model’ expansion package does not require any C-130 base package and can be installed to default installation of the MS FS2004.
In this case user will get the following KC-130 setup:
- Original Captain Sim C-130 Flight Model (aircraft.cfg and .air files)
- Original Captain Sim set of KC-130 Models
- Sound - Alias to default Beech King sound
- Panel - Alias to default B747 panel
- No textures in VC
- No gauges in VC

Well, I thought that's enough for me, as long as the inflight refueling works. In the add, there is a nice picture of the pods, which encouraged me to buy the expansion model only. I would be rather dissapointed if I'd to post-install the base pack.

Hi Alan,
as FS-addict I bought the c-130 pro, installed everything properly and now I can pop up the fuel control panel and extract the fuel pods in the KC-130 model. By the way, why doesn't the VC show only in this model, but in all the others?

I must say, that I do feel a little shortchanged by the CaptainSim-advertisement, provoking the expertation, that the KC-130 expansion model ALONE would allow inflight refueling.

Best
