As I have mentioned in another post in my opinion we should not expecto to have a fully and unlimited stocked FARP out of a C-130. Same goes with transporting Kiowas. While the Herculas can indeed transport a Kiowa IRL, the preparation time to embark it into the aircraft and the necesary maintenance actions required to unload it and make it airworthy again are beyond the logic of assembling a hasty refueling and rearming point. And that is not a functionality envisioned to be done in a hasty deployed FARP. The Hercules should be able to set up a „limited“ capabilities fueling and rearming point but not the kind of unlimited „airport FARP/HELIPAD“ with spawning aircraft, repair services and unlimited stocks.

I fully agree with the above post. We should not have a fully and unlimited stocked FARP out of a C-130. Same goes with transporting Kiowas. While the Herculas can indeed transport a Kiowa, the preparation time to embark it into the aircraft and the necesary maintenance actions required to unload it and make it airworthy again are beyond the logic of assembling a hasty refueling and rearming point.

Ohhh Man. What a great surprise Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. You have made my Sunday a happy Sunday

The "chatter" is part of the friendly cooperative atmosphere that the instructor creates to make the sessions effective. While there are many ways to do this kind of tutorials/training sessions in DCS, I found this one refreshing and immersive but again I have just seen a video and not the final product and until we do see the whole training "package" it is just about personal preferences. As I mentioned I have never flown a C-130 but in most aircraft, interaction with other crew members other than flight crew members is usual and it is actually part of the standard procedures so maybe interaction with the loadmaster during start up is required in the real operation. Let's just be flexible and see what do they finally deliver.

Considering that the people that buys this module are not profesional aviators and that this aircraft may have a complexity that may surprise some here I do believe that this approach provides inmersion and makes the training session more attractive for a number of the customers. IRL we do spend a lot of time in classrooms learning the theory before even stepping into the aircraft, there are hours of interaction between the instructor and the student about multiple aspects of the operation of different sistemas as well as the operacional methodology and standardized procedures. IRL you want to have an instructor that explains you the things properly and why and not just "press here, switch there". That generates a positive communicative environment and makes the student more comfortable and involved. At least this is how it was in my 31 years as a pilot (not C-130 rated)

That looks really nice!! I like the pace of the video and also the „dialoge“ between the player and the AI. The systems of this airplane will not be easy to learn and having good tutorials its higly welcomed !!! Thanks for the video

I would rather wait nicely if they need to take their time to make a solid release with a playable and enjoyable module. However as I also mentioned in anothe post I would highly appreciate if they could made an early release of the manual so we have time to start reading and get familiar with such systems and operational methodology This aircraft have some systems and operating methodology that would require us to read the manual in detail to understand its operation. So I would rather wait while reading the manual awaiting the the module gets ready for release.

I have just discovered that we already have some JG73 skins but not for the last DCS Mig-29 version MiG-29G Luftwaffe JG-73 Skin-Pack

I was surprised that I could not find a skin for the Luftwaffe Mig-29 post reunification. I would really appreciate if we could have an skin representing the Jagdgeschwader 73 (JG 73) Steinhoff, that waqs based in Laage by 1999. That would be a great addition to missions and campaings played on the map of Germany and representing post reunification era. Thanks

Ok Thanks. The initial video had a high pitch sound that sounded more in par with smaller props with faster rpm such king air or similars than the what I used to hear from the C-130, however its is true that I am more used to the older variants of the Herc and that may explain the difference. Anyway mine was a comment from a video and if you have recorded the sounds from the real airplane that answers my question and I do stand corrected. Thanks!! Looking forward for its release

I hope they work a bit more on the sound package. The audio on the video regarding the external sounds is not accurate and it is not from a C-130 Hear here a flypass by a C-130 You can see what I mean on this video for instance on minute 12:29 where the high pitch sound is more like a King Air where the smaller props turn a higher speeds. But since this is not yet release and will have some time to polish I hope this is taken care off at some time in the future
