I think so. It really looks like the Captain Sim C-130 is now part of the Standard P3D V4 fleet!

Now I'm really looking forward to see the L-1011 as a P3D standard as well!

WOW-WOW-WOW!!!

I tried the old RAF livery and it sent P3d v4.3 in a dither.  Then, I tried the Greek Anniversary livery and got what skmcconnell361 was showing.  We need updated liveries. 

Please upgrade the L-1011 yourselves.

I am absolut fan of the CaptainSim C-130 aircrafts.
It is possible to transfer the LC-130 (ski)-Version from FSX to P3Dv4?

yes, you are right.
It was not easy.

One question: how do you stop the aircraft fast?
breaks with ski is not possible.

LC130 at NZIR Antarctica X for P3D4

I've started working on getting all the CS C-130 X-perience Hercs working in P3Dv4.

Unfortunately, it's not as easy as that. If it was, I would have written it up in a post earlier.

I currently have the all the models showing up in P3Dv4, but I'm still working on the panels/instruments.

Once I figure it all out, I will be sure to let everyone know. Instructions will come at that time (unless Captain Sim say I can't/shouldn't do so).

Lockheed did finally respond to my duplicate post on their forum, they acknowledged it is a bug from the conversion and they intend on fixing in a feature update.

Is the Captain Sim C-130 X-perience installed in FSX, or FSX-SE, and then the files copied and pasted from there and to P3Dv4?

I tested all the different CS C-130X models (but did not do any flights), and the windows open and close like they should. The yoke is visible, and it moves around when I use the joystick (Logotech Extreme 3D Pro). The Nose Steering Wheel also works when I twist the joystick (yaw movement).

Hi Markoz,
Hello Markoz, I followed your post on the climbing of the C130, and I thank you in practice there is no rate of climb vs so the driver must go up in manual until the established DESIRED HEIGHT  where do you say ...... and where is instrument" 5. Then press the + or - key (not the ones on the Numeric Key Pad) until the altitude is set where I want it. I track that by holding my mouse pointer over the I.A.S. Hold (Off/On) Altitude Hold (off/on, 0 ft) ALTITUDE HOLD button on the 2D AP Panel. With Cockpit Tooltips ON, I see altitude number as they go up or down."
also in a transoceanic journey with load fuel to the maximum how can I intervene in an automatic way to activate the pumps of the external thank you without putting off the engines? thanks Tommaso from Italy.

So L-M did fix the external tank textures in v4.4, and for that I'm very happy.
Unfortunately, for me, I still have another external texture issue that annoys me. I don't know if anybody else is seeing this, or if its just me, but hopefully some of you might guide in the right direction...?

The color of the vertical stabilizer and the main wheel wells and some other external textures are showing a radically different color than the rest of the aircraft. The same was evident in v4.3 as well, and it was one of those things I'd hoped would be corrected in v4.4. For now it looks like all the textures affected is from the texture file "C130_4_T.dds". Both homegrown and included liveries are affected. As you can see in the included screenshot, the colors of the main gear wells, the vertical stabilizer, the external tanks and engines are way off compared to the rest of the fuselage.

I noticed in skmcconnell361's screenshots that no such color difference was evident, for some reason, so I'm starting to suspect that it's just me, but even if that is the case, I need to figure out why it appears this way on my setup.

I'm not using Tomato or Reshade, just PTA, by the way, before anyone asks.
Anyways, I could sure use some pointers here, guys.

LC130 ATO System
Could it be that this feature does'nt work in P3Dv4. I used it in FSX but at the time I am not able to activate it in P3Dv4.

Tried all the above tips, Mark, but this bit makes no sense. How can I copy panel.cfgKC-130\panel folder into the CS_EX1_KC130\panel folder, and the panel.cfg from the AC-130\panel into the CS_EX2_AC130\panel folder? Where from? Because as it looks to me, all I am doing is copying from the same folder to the same, unless I have totally got it wrong?

Please shed light on this because all my gauges are empty in P3Dv4

Yeah it is great to finally have this machine back, now we just need the 707 for P3D v4! I miss that!

I've spent the last few days modifying the FM of the '130 so she performs like she should. I have it handling much closer to the book numbers now, including more accurate fuel burns in the cruise and that kind of thing.

Next on the list is a modified autopilot to let me have better control of it in climbs and descents.

Cheers!

Hello,

I'am still using P3D v3.4 + the CS C-130.

Is the model in the P3D v4.3 of the C-130 an updated Version of the CS, or completly new?

How about the VC-Textures? Do they have a better resolution as the CS-Version?

@Markoz, or anyone else that might know for that matter... 

Is it possible to get the KC-130 refuelling pods (outboard) AND extra fuel tanks (between engine nacelles) on the 6-bladed C-130J model in any way?
Trying to make a MC-130J-ish livery here,but so far I only have the external fuel tanks between the engines... 

Hmmm, ok.
I do still have FSX-SE installed (just reinstalled recently, due to some ill-fated attempts at the B-52 and IRIS A-10 FLIR).
You think it would be possible to use the ACE in FSX-SE, and then copying to P3Dv4?
Or is it futile or could cause bad stuff to happen?

Nice!

Gonna have to fish out my CS C-130 X and do some more installations and fiddling around here

I can't think of any. I'm not into messing with .exe files any more (well mostly anyway, but it's been a long time since I last did).

Re: KC-130 in P3D v4+

Hi Mark.

That part - the panel.cfg entries - I have managed I think.  What is missing in my P3Dv4 gauges folder is the refuel gauge for the KC. It looks like L-M converted the weapons gauge for the AC-130 (C130.weapons.cab) but did not convert the CS refuel gauge for the tanker.  Consequently, when I open the refule pop up I get a blank square. 

Just checking to see I may be missing something?

well it works.  It is a function of the panel/view menus and not the airplane itself.



I got here by messing with the panel.cfg file, but then I realized I really didn't have to.  Finally just looked in the correct menu which is Vehicle -> Instrument Panel and I have all the panel menus available there.
