5.0 out of 5 stars Best C-130 Experience with MSFS, November 16, 2008

This review is from: C-130 Hercules X Expansion for MS Flight Simulator X (DVD-ROM)

This expansion for the MS2004 and MSX is the best C-130 experience for any experienced and inexperience simulator pilot. The program is very easy to install and comes complete with a 240 page pilot's notes manual for quick reference and for expansive information about the C-130's systems, technology, and checklists.

The book, [...] brings all the proceedures, take/off landing speeds, emergency proceedures, real pilots manuals (PDF) and much more.

The 2004 installation comes with 3 models with 53 liveries (paint jobs). The FSX installation comes with 11 variations of models with 28 paint jobs. This installation is especially cool with the AC-130, KC-130, Blue Angels with jet assist, coast guard and the well known Lynden L-100 with 3 variations.

The interior is as close to photo-realistic as your video card allows, with full virtual cabin. Every button, switch, knob, dial and guage works as in a real C-130 on the pilots, copilots, and nav's areas. Emergency proceedures are especially fun because if you dont do things in the right order, FS doesnt pick up the slack. I have already enjoyed 6+ hours of flying around. I don't plan on putting it down.

One word of advise, get pedals for coordinated turns, and make sure you visit avsim.com for advanced scenery for Little Rock, or Rammstein AB. FS2004 has an awesome add-on for KLRF with the addition of over 70 C-130s on the ramp that complete missions and fly patterns at all times of the day and are a blast with new voice packs. I highly reccommend expanding your Flight Simulator Experience with this pack and some new downloads.

4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to install, May 7, 2009

This review is from: C-130 Hercules X Expansion for MS Flight Simulator X (DVD-ROM)

The product was difficult to install because of the copywrite protection on the installation/program disc. I had experienced some trouble with my samsung disc drive, and after buying an external sony disc drive, the problems went away like a bad dream.
I complained to tech support and they replied that an update patch would fix the problem, however, I had the program installed and running by then.
The sim is fantastic, a lot of fun. Worth the money.

HAVE PLENTY OF SIM-AIRPLANES TO FLY, ALL EXCITING BUT THE 130 IS A BLAST, JUST FEELS AND PERFORMS LIKE THE REAL UNIT. GREAT FUN FOR THE SIM-ENTHUSIAST AND A WINNER FOR ANY WANNA-BE
P.S. THE PRICE IS RIGHT TOO!
