Turboprop Simulations - Lockheed C-130 Hercules Sound Pack FSX.

Anyone have this?  It costs about the same as my entire C-130 all in one pack did when it was on sale last December.

That is good to hear.  I hate to pay the same for the sound pack as I did for the entire ProPack for the C-130.  Something just doesn't seem right in that picture, but I do hate the screwed up sounds in the cs version.


Thanks.

Mark, let me make my position crystal clear - I'm not talking about improved sounds, I am talking about correcting errors in the sound program delivered with the product.  The sounds are fine when they are there, they just fade out and in and that is not what a C-130 sounds like.  They fade out sharply or maybe dropout EVERY time on the takeoff run or full throttle and don't come back until some keyboard key is pressed.  That just aint't right.  Even the first reviewers picked up on it and was told it would be corrected. 

Yes, these 24 hour sales are really nice for building up a good hanger full of top notch flyware.  I paid $15.00 and change for the full x-Pro 3 everything package last December.  That is why it is so tough to spend almost the same to get the sound corrected.

I would think a simple patch would be in order. Just mho.

Sorry Mark but to intended beat the dead horse here but we've been hearing about this update since 2008.  I am not overly optimistic that an update will be forthcoming.  I hope it will but seems other projects override loyal customers.

I hope your right Mark.

I don't recall having that problem with the Turboprop Simulations - Lockheed C-130 Hercules Sound Pack. I do think it's better than the default C-130 Sound though.
I'm currently reinstalling FSX and all my addons, so I'll reinstall the sound pack (it is down the bottom of the list, but I'll bump it up) and see if it happens to me too.

I would assume that if there is a problem with the Turboprop Simulations - Lockheed C-130 Hercules Sound Pack, that it is not a Captain Sim problem. I'm saying this because the sounds are installed into the sound folder and are controlled by the sound.cfg found in that folder. Seeing as that is not the Captain Sim sound.cfg, the problem might be there.

Anyway, I reinstalled the Turboprop Simulations - Lockheed C-130 Hercules Sound Pack, and it's working fine in my CS C-130. It doesn't seem to be doing in mine, the same as it is in yours. 

I renamed the sound folder in the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_C130 folder before installing the Sound Pack. Not that I really think it would make a difference because the sound.cfg from the Sound Pack would overwrite the Captain Sim one. At least I assume it would.

Hi, I know this is an old post but it seems I have to post a whole bunch of replies before I can post any new topics so that's what I'll do. Pity, because this is one of my favourite add-ons and this is the only forum where I have to prove myself before I'm considered worthy enough.. So, the forum itself is a simulation of the real world? I've been doing some work compiling performance data and other reference material but I'll have to wait a few months before I'll get a chance to share any of it. How do you ask questions? Apart from this?

I've got the Turboprop Simulations C-130 soundpack and like most things in FSX, it is not perfect in every situation, but when I'm watching a flight replay in say, Flypast view, then this sound pack sounds awesome. Turn the speakers up, and enjoy the noise. I've used this soundpack with the Orion, and the Iris C-27 which has sustantially the same engines. Gotta love those big turboprops!

I reckon that it's worth getting for sure, just for the moments when it DOES sound good, 'cos when it does, it sounds great. Just my thousand drachmas worth...
