Well, I bought the basic C130, and have had a lot of issues with it.  :-/

First was repeated warnings when it tried to select it, asking if I wanted to run an untrusted program, and then if I wanted to trust Capt Sim.
Then it would keep repeating that after I selected "YES" to both questions, and would never run.
So I tried it as administrator and it ran.  :)

But then I had no gauge readouts ... they were just dark blank areas on the dashboard.
Now (after many hours of tweaking the settings) I get the gauges, but they don't move at all.
They just stay at whatever they were when the C130 loads.  >:(

Most of the switches/mouse over controls don't work.
Although I do get the tool tips and hand mouse, they don't move.  >:(

The rudder pedals (controlled by a set of Saitek Pro Combat Pedals) work in the right yaw direction properly, but when moving them in the left yaw direction, they follow the movement of my feet on the Saitek pedals, up to 'almost' full left, but then as I continue to move the pedals to full left, the cockpit pedals snap back to center, but my actual pedals are still at full left.  :(
When that happens ... the nose steering wheel operates properly and smoothly.  :-?

Initially the throttles were not all responding to my TM Warthog HOTAS throttle, but I eventually got all 4 to respond to it.  8-)

The audio (for all models) now will start normally, but as I increase the throttle, it all of the sudden drops out to a whisper.
When I go to different views it is equally reduced for that view, even with the sound settings volumes maxed out.
IOW: When sitting on the runway at idle the cabin view has a given sound level, as does the different outside views, with the view behind the left wing being the loudest.
After I run up the throttle these all are significantly reduced to very low levels but do retain their own original different levels, but as indicated ... all are very much reduced.  :(

Maybe my system is too advanced for Capt Sim.  ::)
IMO: It's really just an upper mid level system (as I have detailed above in my previous posts) but it's evidently too much for Capt Sim ... or at least this version of the Capt Sim C130.  :'(

It has also caused problems with my other aircraft.
I had to do a complete resetting of all controls.
But still had weird issues ... like my toe diff-brakes would hang when released and cause all models to be difficult to control when taxing or at takeoff/landing.
And as indicated ... my audio for all models is screwed up.  >:(

So I uninstalled the Capt C-130, and am hoping a renaming of the config file will get me back to normal with my FSXG.  :-/

It simply is not working as advertised in my system.
Consequently I'm proceeding to obtain a refund ... either via co-operation from Capt Sim (so far a no-go) or my VISA card/PayPal.
