Title: Re: Modeled systems?

The moderator has a good point. A tremendous amount of work goes into replicating the C130, and nothing is duplicated exactly.  They do what is possible, but even that has to have it's limits or it would never be ready for release.  Besides, not even multi-million flight simulator can do that.  

From my point of view, this would be an impossible feat anyways because no two C130 are that same.  Each model/version (A, B, E, H, J, and whatever other versions that out there) has similar systems, each aircraft gets modified on the assembly line. Before they come off the shelf they are modified for the place they are going, the mission that they will be performing, etc.  Once they get there, the base modifies them even more, in addition each year comes more modifications.  As they are transfered to a different base, region, area of the world more mods take place, and so on.  It never ends, thus I'd be surprized if they are any two C130s that are exactly the same.  I would imagine that this applies to  commercial C130s as well.
