This is a Big Day for me as well,
I just would like to say thank you to all involved in this project.
A-10s will show up where they belong to, in the end!

Hi, I was going to answer a quick no, as there are no ANG units in the DM pack, but a quick check of the SW ANG pack Docs, just in case, confirmed this.

Star,
Just make sure you replace the AFCAD. I've had to do this with a few of the ANG packages, I try to use the latest MAIW supplied AFCADs. You should have plenty of parking for the ANG transit Hawgs.

Just FYI guys -
there is Tucson Photoreal scenery (incl. Davis-Monthan AFB) by Dan Relfe (tucson_photoreal.zip) available,
looks like MAIW AFCAD is quite compatible out of the box

Then I am very interested in and ask you to share this AFCAD

Thanks for the package. And thanks for including the airports list in the package. This help A LOT when you need to know where the planes fly so you can fix up the appropiate AFCADs.

Airport lists should be included in all MAIW packages!

One of the Beta Tester's is working on an AFCAD to match up with the DM package and Tucson PhotoReal (it was looking very good the last time I saw a progress report) which matches up to a high degree of accuracy. I don't know when he will fininsh and release, and because I don't want him swamped with requests, I won't mention his name, but it would be worth while to be a little patient on this issue.

I just installed the C-130 part of the package and I am a little confused. Are theses E or H models? I ask because the folder says the H model but the sim= line says AI Lockheed C-130E and they are not showing up in the sim (FS9).

Also the H model has 2 model folders wing_tanks and no_wing_tanks, but the model= line is blank in the aircraft cfg.

btaylo24 · Post by **btaylo24** » 28 Jun 2008, 02:38

Not sure what u have done, but all fine and dandy in my sim.
Can see the EC and the RQS squadron Herks parked up..
Remember these Herks are very much deployed, and not get too many of them on the ground at the same time. Did u do some sort of manual install and merge the herks?

They say E but due to issues with using the correct models we had to use the H... So not an issue, I just had to make it work as the EC models were never done by Henry...

Joseph29 · Post by **Joseph29** » 28 Jun 2008, 03:07

Hmmm I put all the texture folders in my C-130H model folder. The first 3 lines in the aircraft cfg file look like this (the title lines are different of course)

[fltsim.xxx]
title=MAIW HTAI EC130H RCH_DM_41_73-1595
sim=AI Lockheed C-130E
model=

Now all the other planes in my C-130H folder have this something like this

[fltsim.xx]
title=MAIW_HTAI_C130H_RCH_XX_50_92-0554
sim=AI Lockheed C-130H
model=wing_tanks

What do I need to do so these planes work? Put the planes in the C-130E folder maybe?

Joseph29 · Post by **Joseph29** » 28 Jun 2008, 03:30

Ok Im sure they are C-103E models. Because I looked at the names of the textures and they are named c130e.bmp, c130e_l.bmp and prop-hs.bmp.

Firebird · Post by **Firebird** » 28 Jun 2008, 07:27

Joseph,
You are correct about them EC-130Hs being E models. It was queried early on whether the E rather than the H model was correct.

From what I remember, which may not be totally world perfect, people in the know decided that the basic E model layout was a better match to the EC bird than the basic H model.

With hindsight it might have been an idea to include a note on this for people, like myself, who prefer manual installations.

Hopefully that helps you.
