I also do feel the lack of those informations, specially regarding V Speeds.

Considering V-speeds, sometimes I use the charts in page 13 of Part IV of the manual: "Flight Characteristics and Performance Data". For instance consider:

Gross weight : 100.000 pounds
Flaps : 100%
CL max : 2.5 (could someone explain us what is cl max ?)

Enter the apropriate chart (the third one) and you will find 80 Knots.

I will consider this as the Vso (stall speed on landing configuration).

Now look in your handy sheet (http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/hs30.htm)  you will see that for class B,C e D airplane

Vref  = 1.4 x Vso

So now you have your landing speed of 112 Knots. It's a guess I don't know if it's the wright way to do. I'm not a pilot. Anyway, it doesn't get too far from the numbers in the sheet I show below (keep reading).

You may also look at www.fsstation.com and browse their tutorials until you find a link to the C130 Hercules. Inside you will have a link to a downloadable V speed sheet.

Unfortunately there is no units and abreviation legend or explanation on the sheet. If someone in the forum could kindly explain to us I would be very grateful. (VTO, VTO MAX EFF, THS, TDS, VS, etc).

Also, the sheet is somehow short. I'm also looking for something more detailed. If anyone knows about a better sheet or chart please post here.

By the way their tutorial is good enough to save your purchase.

Anyway, PLEASE SOME REAL PILOTS HELP US HERE!
