Today I received my C-130 X-perience package fro FSX.  I haven't yet loaded it, but I will soon.  I have been wanting this for some time, but it was a lower priority to me until today.

I'll have to go buy another Saitek throttle quadrant this evening before I can try out the plane.  Something tells me I won't have the greatest experience with a 4-engine plane with only 3 throttles. Smiley

I'm just excited, I had to post SOMETHING here about it, and now I begin reading all the posts in this forum too, so I can come up to speed on this craft.  Cheesy Grin
  

NOTE: I'm on hiatus, concentrating on flight training.  Most of what I'm flying right now is a C172N similar to what I'm training in.  I'll try to check in and answer questions when I can, but please don't be impatient, I have other priorities right now!

So far so good.

C130 is so very foreign to me, I've never used anything quite like it before.  I have yet to fully learn all the systems, but have made a few short flights with it, and was quite impressed with the detail and performance/handling characteristics of this model.

Can't wait to learn more and get a few more hours in, but now with 3 beautiful Captain Sim aircraft in my hangar, I'm starting to have trouble deciding which one to take for a flight. Smiley
