Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
I could do but how many times have you flown with a tanker in the last 12 months? It takes time to add, set up in scenery and test. It also adds polygons. It's really a question of the overhead v the sustained benefit to the user.
Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
Well I can't speak for others but personally speaking I fly with them quite a lot since you can incorporate them into tacpack so you can spawn a tanker that will actually transfer you fuel. If I took an average over a month of flying most weekdays it'd probably be twice a week. I like it because it's challenging.John Young wrote: ↑09 Apr 2019, 09:23 I could do but how many times have you flown with a tanker in the last 12 months?

At the end of the day it's up to you of course John, would just be nice.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
OK if there is a demand for it, I can do it. The only other problem I think from Victor tanker experience, is that the parking radius has to include the trailed hose, even though it's not displayed on the ground. That makes it very big if I remember rightly.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
John, I have been curious to know if your AC-130 will have guns or just texture where the guns would protrude from the fuselage? Also, will the MC-130s have the modified nose?
Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
I personally never fly with a tanker. 99.9999% of my flying is low and slow.John Young wrote: ↑09 Apr 2019, 09:23 I could do but how many times have you flown with a tanker in the last 12 months?

There are lots of tankers already out there. I would be happier with better frame rates.
One persons opinion.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
Flyerkg, my AC-130J has two sets of detailed 3-D guns plus all the other lumps and bumps that feature on this particular aircraft.
The nose on the MC-130J is no different to the other "J" models. The MC-130E/H had the "beaky" nose.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
Progress to date (FS9, FSX and P3Dv4 models), screen shots are FSX.
MC-130J Commando II (Mildenhall):
C-130J-30Super Hercules (Yokota):
AC-130J Ghostrider (Hulbert Field):
Next job is to paint the full 13 x J-30 aircraft for Brent's in progress Yokota scenery. Then I'll make the KC-130J's and Harvest Hawks for Iwakuni. After that the EC-130J with it's lumps. bumps and fin aerials. The easiest will be the HC-130J for the USAF and Coast Guard and the WC-130J's of the Hurricane Hunters.

These are definitely the "mutt's nuts" John. Fantastic work as usual.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
Those look awesome!!
Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
Wow!
I can't wait.
It is not possible to manufacture commercial model like this.
The ROKAF will also operate the C-130-30 model.
I want to paint & let's fly.
It's so cool.^ ^b

Looks great! When its released RAF Brize Norton will have more AI flying out of it

No sure, but I don't think these will add many to Brize Norton.ConcordeBOAF wrote: ↑14 Apr 2019, 19:01 Looks great! When its released RAF Brize Norton will have more AI flying out of it
I don't recall John mentioning the C.Mk4 and C.Mk5 in the versions he said he was doing.
Designated Hercules C.Mk 4 (C-130J-30) and C.Mk 5 (C-130J) in RAF service, these aircraft have Inflight-refuelling probes installed as standard. The type’s improved range enables most sorties to be flown without the characteristic underwing fuel tanks of the legacy versions.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
He didn't but he might. Let me finish the USAF/USMC examples first and get them out. I'll take a look at the RAF ones after that and see what they involve. The refuelling probe and the missile warning sensors are not a problem, so it might be quite a straight forward job.

Possibly Pete, but perhaps more a patriotic inclination.

Re: JYAI C-130J Specials
It would be nice to see a new model for the RAF birds. But please don’t take that as a request
