DCS Super Hercules mod by Anubis


Eight Ball

Recommended Posts

  

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.

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.....

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.

I really would love to see a classic stubby C-130, I grew up watching them fly off the Montijo airbase near Lisbon, Portugal.

Me too,

 

I live in Almada and saw them many times above my house in par with A-7´s or our Fiat G91 when i was a child. Who guess some decades later i´ll be flying one in VR 🙂

Does the Quickstart missions work?

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.

Yup. There are links further up in this thread. Can't remember if it's VCredist or .NET that is needed.

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.

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!

I shared a reddit link that contains some screen shot of this mod developers and claims that it will be an official module since this mod development is over

Ah, thanks! He wrote about a "dead link", so I just got confused as I had already clicked your reddit link.
Cheers!

I'm not 100% sure, but this MOD might use some components of FC3 and is therefore needed? A lot of airplane MODS are based on FC3,
so this might be the issue.

No, FC3 is not needed. 

 

He just installed it wrong.

Hi sir, you just need to move the Hercules MOD folder to your DCS Saved Games folder.

On my computer (windows 10, latest DCS open beta), the Hercules MOD folder goes into this sub-folder...

%UserProfile%\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft
