Can you confirm that a sound set is included in the package? and secondly are there going to be any RAF liveries? At the moment I run MSFS on Xbox so I am restricted to what's available in the package or on Marketplace.

Initially we wanted to produce or licence a custom sound set, but by the time we done with the custom flight model we realised that the stock turboprop soundset sounds heavy enough thanks to the custom flight model lower RPM etc.

We are looking for someone who can produce an authentic sound pack, but for now we have a stock turboprop soundset included.

Can you confirm that C-130 not include a APU sound? I can't hear the sound of APU when started APU.

Hi,

I's Matthias

I am the webmaster and news poster/reviewer for this website.
Also i am the developer of the freeware HPG H135 and HPG H145 freeware soundpacks on flightsim.to. Also i helped HPG with the soundpack of their payware AirbusH145 helicopter.

I would love to make a professional sound pack for your new C-130 Captain for MSFS. I have a lot of private recordings of C-130's because i fly the C-130H-30 Hercules in real live with the KLU (Royal Dutch Airforce). I hgave lots of internal, and external files and i already was working for a C130 sound pack so i was very happy with your new release. Great job, the internal and external models look amazing! The VC (Cockpit) is top notch! When i started we also had (semi) analogue gauges in the cockpit. now its all replaced be big touch screens as we use glass cockpits now, sometimes i still miss the old days ;-)

If you like my help with a professional sound pack, please contact me

Hope to hear from you soon,

Greetings

Matthias

Hi, thanks! I just replied :-)

So exciting good times

Hi everybody,

Just 20 min ago i send a bunch of my own recorded internal and external sound files of the C130 to CS. When they approve them i will add more files to them and again send them back to CS, if those are also approved by CS i will add them to the sound pack so CS can add my sound pack in a free update of their AMAZING C130 :-) Greetings Matthias from FSVisions.nl

Absolute legend, BTW a well know YouTube is currently flying a live stream of your Herc CS

Yeah so far he's the only Youtuber that's doing something besides complaining. He actually showed what was available - made it a purchase for me. Looking forward to the improvements there's quite a few things not right currently.

Thankyou mnpostema.

In the meantime, has anyone found a working sound set alternative to use?

Further to my post above (which I am unable to edit), there is a freeware soundset for the c-130E on flightsim.to where you can replace the files in the sound folder and rebuild the layout.json file.  IMHO, the results are an improvement over the stock sounds while we wait for an official release..

what would be ideal in the mean time would be for Captainsim ..or third party to alter the sound.xml file to make the soundpack into a 4 engine config,..at present it is unchanged kingair 2 eng hence why engines 3 & 4 sound weak. Having grown up on RNZAF Whenuapai Airbase and my Father flew C-130's I was around them all the time ,..no the kingair sound isnt close to the T54 Allison but would go a loooong way to making it sound full,..start ups are disappointing with very little in the way of start up sounds on #3 and #4. Surely it wouldnt take much to reconfig the xml ?

some one in the Netherlands is working on a superb soundpack for the 130

   Indeed. It's quite easy to alter the xml yourself. 

Duplicate the code in the  <EngineSoundPresets> section and change the EngineIndex = "1"  and Index = "1"  of the duplicates, to EngineIndex = "3"  and Index = "3", then likewise for the Index = "2" etc change to "4".   

Then do the same within the <EngineSoundStates> section.

My sound.xml already had engines 3 & 4 information, so I'm not sure what to change.

Just brought  the C130 and all livery packs on xbox real big fan of the aircraft for many years now.  Can someone please please please smdo a custom soundpack with some volume too as I was  just on the ramp starting up when a  small light aircraft with one engine drowned out the sound of the c130 start up.  It definitely needs a soundpack update if it's not in the works already although some comments above seem to point towards one soon.  Please let that be the case.  Two other small niggles, can yiu make it so the rear ramp opens when in flight and also sounds of the ramp opening would be good too.  And lastly will there be an opening in the floor to allow access to the flight deck from the side entrance door as it seems to be blocked from the entrance and the rear cargo bay.  Also the APU sounds on start up seem to be missing ??

As of version 1.1 user "mnpostema"'s sounds are still not included. Did CS choose not to use them?

VERSION 1.1 (04JUN’24)
-Fuel system modeling improved
-Paratroop doors inflight operations added
-Ramp adjustment of 0 degree (level) ramp for inflight operations added
-Left aileron texture mapping fixed
-Third party free liveries support added
-Quick toggle to flight engineer view of center console added
-Pitot plugs ribbons improved
-The number 3 engine bleed air labeling fixed
-GPS navigation support added (A/P panel NAV toggle switch)

So.....nothing on sound!  Despite someone generously offering to provide for free!  :(

Because they are not ready.

Why don't you use the C160 Transall sound set and double it as their latest update sounds phenomenal on the sound pack side for start up and running. I cannot get fully immersed with the sound set as it is. It's just way to quiet. And the apu can hardly be heard either.  Please can you fix the soundset.

Has anything Been done yet with the sound ? At the moment  it's just diabolical. I thought some one was making a custom sound set for this from the messages above??

Hi
I'm a big fan of Mil Airlifters, and have been since FS9, in FSX I had both the Just Flight and CS C-130 plus all the add on liveries, had close to 1000 hours on the sim on that aircraft.

I was excited to see the C-130E released for MSFS by CS, but was underwhelmed after a few flights was parked in the hanger and I would have uninstalled it if i could have worked out how too. 
When the H was released I wasn't so enthusiastic, but like a moth to the flame I was drawn in...I don't regret the purchase, there are a few annoyances, sound being one them but would like access to more liveries or the ability to export between the E and H models.
If a cockpit could be added to the E that would certainly make this old Herc Driver happy. 
   

If you are on PC, the TSS Allison T-56 sound pack (payware) for FSX/P3D seems to work well on this model. Additionally, liveries are available online.

Hi Sean

Thanks for the heads up - I did get that add on for FSX as well but that was years ago so repurchased it. Now this proves what a Nube I am to MSFS - I've put it in the ...\\Community\captainsim-aircraft-m133\SimObjects\Airplanes\CSC130H\sound folder and it doesn't work.

Is there a user guide or similar to install the sound?

Also for some reason I can't port the E textures to the H is there an idiots  guide on how to do this?

Cheers Paul

Any news on the sound update yet please?

TSS Allison T-56 sound pack

Hi just bumping this. I've purchased the sound pack.

Is there a user guide or similar to install the sound in MSFS?

I've put it in the ...\\Community\captainsim-aircraft-m133\SimObjects\Airplanes\CSC130H\sound folder and it doesn't work.

I also tried editing the sound.cfg to sound.xml which it looks like that is the native MSFS sound file type.

Any help appreciated noting that this port isn't supported by either CS or TSS.

Thanks

It's been a while since I installed them, but did you recompile the layout.json file using MSFS Layout Generator (recommend googling that program)?

Hi Sorry for delay - there is no JSON file with the TSS sound pack - so to confirm you recompile the existing CS-130 JSON? 

Put the TSS files in the C-130’s sound folder and recompile the C-130’s json.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't get much time for Flight Sim currently so that's why installing a sound file which it taking up lots of time is killing when when i should be spending the time flying!

Which JSON is recompiled?

There is no JSON file in the default sound flile.

.../captinsim-aircraft-m133/simobjects/Airplanes/CSC130H/sound

it only has a Asobo_KingAir350.PC.PCK and sound.xml

Just to make sure it's not me when I've been trying to install the sound pack,  I've uninstall the C-130 and done a new reinstall.

Could you kindly give me a path and the name the JSON that needs recompiling please?

Thanks in advance.

Disregard the above post, you told me in an earlier post it was the  layout.json which I found in the .../captainsim-aircraft-m133/ folder.

Finally installed - Thanks for your help Sean

Captains,
We are still looking into possibilities to produce an authentic C-130 sound pack which this model definitely deserves.

G'day Captain Sim,
I too would like to see both your C130s updated with an accurate sound package as the default B350 sounds doesn't do the aircraft justice.

I have many hours flying on the C130 and there are several that are not present, eg. the AUX Pump whine, the distintive flap hydrologic and screw sounds and the undercarriage pop and hydrologic sounds.

Please update your package as it will add a more in-depth feel to the aircraft.

Cheers,
Rugs.

Hello, when will the sound pack be updated? Without these sounds, this module is incomplete. Next time I will think twice about buying an airplane from Captain SIM. I was very satisfied and even excited with this airplane on the simulator 2020, but it is currently an unfinished business. I don't want to buy third-party packages when I paid for a functional product.
