OK, I bit the bullet and purchased the C-130X base kit and the Expan Pack 1.  I was forced...... :P

I own the legendary C-130 and several expansions of that kit also.  Very happy with the FS9 version.

This Add-on tops the first.  I haven't flown her much yet but am really happy with her.  A few bumps in the road that required a bit of searching for answers.  But the answers WERE there.

The Sound Blaster issue with one of the GAUs was frustrating but I was surprised that during a "search" there WAS an answer that described the problem and a temp fix or fix.  

Looking for the Flight Manual sent me in circles.....but again, some searching, found them for me on the website.  

A suggestion would be to clump manuals and paintkits on the account page somewhere.  

That said............................I've spent most of my time just "Looking" at her in flight.  GREAT job on the eye candy.  Handles well right out of the box.  I'll get to the nuts and bolts now that i have the manuals...........

Great Job of the Project.  

A Happy Customer
