The first C-130 and scenery packages from Brent and I (FS9 and FSX/P3Dv4) are coming along well. I thought through a number of options that would simplify the packaging process, not just for me and for the users, but for Greg who will be incorporating them into the optional Matrix installer for P3Dv4. It made sense to break them down and release them on a regional basis.
With that in mind, Keesler with C-130J-30s and the WC-130J's Weatherbirds as a self contained package, just needs a check through. Our intention is to release it together with Hurlburt Field that features the gunships, Combat Talon II's, U-28's and CV-22B's. I've just sent the draft manual to Brent to check over. While it was relatively straight forward adding drogues to some of the models for mock refuelling from Hurlburt, it took a while to test and document the scenarios that Brent has designed. In scenario 1, the green part of the route is where the cruise level is stable and the drogues remain out:
This is the simplest one of 5. The second scenario goes east to Bermuda while 3-5 involve an Atlantic crossing via the Azores and on to Spain and Cyprus.
As soon as we are satisfied that everything is good to go, I'll get the first two packages uploaded. The ones following that will similarly be split down globally with Japan probably next to come, although the EC-130J's at Harrisburg with the HC-130J's at Elizabeth City as one package are catching up fast.
