Let me preface this post by saying I started using the CaptainSim C-130 many years ago as a young teenage excited about the Aircraft. Luckily I have become a USCG Aviator and C-130 Pilot, I am currently in the Transition Course learning to fly the HC-130H. I am also a software engineer (by degree and hobby) and have been looking to Mod the C-130 to reflect our current Aircraft and update some of the logic to match the real aircraft. I was wondering if anyone from CaptainSim would be of assistance in allowing me to Mod the Aircraft for personal use and training.  That being said if anyone on the forum has any questions please do not hesistate to send a message my way. -Matthew Chase HC-130H Pilot CGAS Barbers Point

Matthew, congratulations on making that boyhood dream a reality!! Thanks for your service!!

I have the C-130 and am having some problems getting down on approach and landing even with a LONG runway. Any advice you would have would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have full flaps, engine throttles at cruise, props fully feathered, landing gear down and still it takes me forever to get down and stop. How do you do it when you are looking at 4,000 feet or less runway?  :-[
