Diesel_Thunder Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm really hoping for a C-130 as well! I grew up on Little Rock AFB (home of the Herky Bird) and always heard E’s and H’s flying overhead. Such a distinct sound. I think it would be a good fit for DCS as it spans a wide timeframe, since it's been in service for 65 years now. Would fill a variety of roles as it's a versatile aircraft. Can be used for cargo transport (of course), airborne assault, refueling (MPRS), and the loitering pylon turn of death (AC-130 gunship). I'm also hoping it's a classic E or H model. The J is nice, and more capable, but you sure can't beat the classic with the Allison engines and 4 blade props. Also nice seeing all of the steam gauges on the instrument panel! My speculation is that ED would likely have an easier time sourcing official documentation on an E or H model than they would on the current J model. 2 1 PC: MSI X670E, Ryzen 9 7900X, 64GB DDR5 RAM, RTX 3090 Ti, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Flight pedals, Opentrack Link to my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/DieselThunderAviation Commander, 62nd Virtual Fighter Squadron Join the 62nd VFS today!

sharkfin61 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) I'm certainly hoping for a Hercules announcement as well. ... ED could iterate their way from 2 over 3 engines and then later up to 4. .... 2 engines? Proposal: Let's start with a C-160 Transall Airdrops (personnel, cargo), logistic transport, SIGINT (the french GABRIEL) combat-offloads, MEDEVAC. Was flown in France, Germany, Turkey, South Africa, Indonesia. (and goes out of service in 3 months (exzeptionell the french Gabriel). Loosing one engine in a hot and high environment (Iran f.e.), you sure will have your fun..... Edited September 13, 2021 by sharkfin61 6 sharkfin out! Support your local AirTransportWing !

mmarques Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I really would love to see a classic stubby C-130, I grew up watching them fly off the Montijo airbase near Lisbon, Portugal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggyc68 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hi Everyone, I just downloaded the Anubis Super Hercules. Awesome model. But I can't spawn into the cockpit to fly it. I select the correct 'Hercules' model in Mission Editor, not the standard C-130, and select 'Client' or 'player' to fly it, but the mission starts with me outside the aircraft and unable to get into the cockpit (F1). I've got the model installed into my saved games folder under the 'User' structure. I'm running v6.8.2 and DCS 2.7.5 Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Darcaem Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Same happened to me. You might need to install some library. I cannot recall the link, but if you enter their discord, on the download section are posted the requirements and you will find the link to the Microsoft page where to download it.

The T-45 mod needs the Visual C runtime installed, apparently, that might be the one needed. I think 'vc_redist.x64.exe' from here is the relevant one. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXsenna Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hello Megalax! I didn't even know that you were taking part in such fake discussions. The poster is fake not officially. ED has never made an announcement with an official public photo. The original models and sceneries from ED were always shown in the posters. About this mod and the alleged takeover of ED. Anubis is only a mediator of the mod. Alleged modders and designers keep themselves in the background. Neither the model of the C-130 nor the cockpit were created by you. An alleged takeover of ED is only speculation by some here in the forum.LOL Haven't you seen these joke posters before? Are you accusing anybody of pretending it's their work? And this is the first time I've heard of an ED takeover, from you!All other speculation I've heard is if the Hercules mod will become a full 3rd party module.Cheers!

A lot of airplane MODS are based on FC3, so this might be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
