Captains,
What features would you like to see added to the C-130?
Please be short and specific.
Thank you!

Additional avionics options that are switchable via a tablet or similar interface representing H-model avionics upgrades, through at least the H3.
Adding to this, perhaps you can incorporate a mount (and selectable option) for the freeware and open-source KLN90 GPS simulation. Reference: https://msfsaddons.com/2023/05/29/the-return-of-a-classic-bendix-king-kln90b-gps-now-available-for-msfs-aircraft-developers/


Repaint kit and support for end-user created liveries that may be uploaded to external websites. Or...as a compromise, repaint kit with instructions for end-users to upload to CS directly for review and incorporation into free or cheap livery packs.

Please make a description on how one can transfer the liveries of the External View version to my newly aquired version.

Wish 2: Is it possible to make the tablet (with all its settings) movable to a second monitor

anything cargo animation would be great , pallets etc maybe when changing the weight that changes the type of cargo.. thanks

for sure a tablet

GPS NAV mode to enjoy long flight plans and use it in VATSIM. That's my biggest wish for this plane.

• A full paintkit
  
• Better Sounds (hopefully already in the works?)
  
• TACAN Support
  
• More of the overheard panel simulated.
  

A British RAF Livery would be appreciated please

Radar for TCAS working
Better sound
Other C130 variants

Hallo,
- ADF Functioning
- solving The Fuel/ Start Problem
- changing strategy of Livery selling. Open paint kit.
- missing certificates for the  installation exe causes virus warnings.
- more realistic Prices for a recently limited product.
- I recognise regretfully that such a often wanted Product is subject to technical and other restrictions.
- remember that your customers are a huge community and not only a source of money.
I would like to pay more for a upcoming great product to support the creators but I need information, communication and transparency to get confidence in your decisions.
Sorry , but this had to be said.

radar, and some kind of device that gives wind readings for those of us who are storm hunters and plan on flying this thing through storms.

-PaintKit will be the Number 1 requested item

-Crossfeed operations

- Computer Navigation System
  or
-Integration with: PMS50 and TDS
   TDS GTNXi (link)
   PMS50 GTN750 (link here)
   since you do not allow links, find it yourself

- Livery packs need more

- This one should be very easy, C-130E liveries easily ported over, since there is no difference with the External Paint textures.

1.- Paintkit open to everyone
2.- GPS NAV (of some sort, a NAV/GPS toggle switch like in the FSX version would be enough)
3

sorry, forgot to add:

3.- Flight Model refinement (It is ok, but could be better)
4.- a bit more systems depth

As far as I can see the four files with documentation dates back to 2008. Many funtyions as described there are 2D or not working in tge actual panel. Is there also a manual for the new MSFS-version?

My C-130 wishlist in order of importance:

1. Fix fuel system so that all tanks can be used in any combination without triggering current engine shutdown bug
2. Provide the intermediate position for cargo ramp (and make this ramp position selectable both in the air and on the ground)
3. Add smoke effect for engines
4. Add GPS option (and allow users to slave autopilot to it)
5. Add C-130H-30 variant
6. Allow removal/addition of external fuel tanks
7. Replace clipboard with animations with a a consolidated EFB
8. Continue adding system depth to those items not currently modeled
9. Add L-182 civilian variants (standard and -30 stretch, both with ability to carry external tanks)
10. Add other military external model variants (LC-130H, EC-130H, etc)
11. Upgrade sounds to C-130 sounds

Yes, pobably to make it compatible for use with the GTN750 !

cheers  ;)

Paintkit

Please put out a Canadian Livery Pack. Our pilots and crews are  some of the very best. I worked on the whole Canadian forces fleet of aircraft for 21 years. I also would like to say that this is such a good representation of the C-130 H that it brings me back to working on these aircraft. I love the cockpit and all the provided animations. I would love to see the ramp animated in flight (not sure if it can be opened in flight) I would like to say that this model is well worth the price. The MSFS Marketplace allows livery packs ,so to the detractors of this version of the C-130, please give the developer a break. I am sure operating a deficit by giving away for free is not an option.
Hopefully our Canadian federal budget will allow for some new paint schemes (just kidding)
Thanks from a long time Captain Sim customer from the F-104 to the C-130, I love what you have done with the new model. :)

As an air drop specialist aircraft , ..make the ramp openable in flight (im bewildered why you locked that up  :o )

The standard key strokes for the autopilot, radios,HSI, and some sort of control for the roll knob and pitch wheel.....I know there's a key stroke for pitch I'm not sure about the roll knob.....

GPS would be cool, but you guys designed this plane old school, but a panel option would be awesome

GPS NAV

Make it compatible with the Honycomb Bravo for example:
I can set the Autopilot with that button on the HoCoB but set ALT with ALT button on the HoCoB does nothing, also in HDG mode i can not dial the HDG and thats real anoying so please..

cheers  ;)

engine smoke effect will add soooooo much to C130

I can't start a new topic but the number 3 engine bleed air has a number 2 instead of 3.

Great plane!

I also noticed that when on battery power with no external power, the light for the APU door does not light up but the door does open and the generator can be started.

A option or variation to take the aerials and done off etc like RAF versions would be great CS

Could the low idle buttons be made operational? I seem to recall they did in the P3d version.
Thanks

crew in the vc (selectable )..including the Flight Engineer and Nav,....and NAV / GPS

The air refueling door would be nice too

Off-Topic replies have been moved to this Topic.

1. Keybinds for autopilot functions and heading bug.
2. A more modern Mode 3 transponder, or at least fix the one in it now.
3.  Low-speed ground idle.

Working WX/Station Keeping Radar

JATO option!

Otherwise loving the classic H model herc.

Haven't a clue about your problem. Sorry.
New here, and trying to contact CaptainSim folks and have no clue how to do so other than this forum.

1. I love the C-130 MSFS. C-130 crew chief from years ago with more than 3000 hours flight time. Already logged 100 hours on it.

2. Would appreciate a ramp adjustment of 0 degree (level) ramp for inflight operations.

3. Would appreciate a quick toggle to flight engineer view of center console and overhead panel.

Thank you.

Retrofit autopilot / FMC (NAV, etc) appropriate to the c-130 of course.
