Kang Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Just wondered, do you already have plans in regards to what liveries and skins shall be available for the C-130J, either at launch or eventually? Classic USAF Grey I'd consider pretty much a given, but curious about any other decisions. 2
Canada_Moose Posted August 2 Posted August 2 I would imagine all the main players in addition to USA who have or had the J model including RAF, RCAF, RAAF, RNZAF etc would be in the initial set. 1
Volator Posted August 2 Posted August 2 German Airforce hopefully. And I hope a livery magician will do a 1980s GAF Transall look-alike eventually 1 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven
YoYo Posted August 2 Posted August 2 It is important that the 3D model will not be encrypted, so there will be no problem with displaying it in the current Model Viewer for DCS: 2 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 5090 32Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro

Beirut Posted August 6 Posted August 6 As long as there is an RCAF skin all will be fine. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
GeorgeVB Posted August 6 Posted August 6 (edited) As far as I understand, the video shows the cockpit of the C130J aircraft (or is it an upgraded C-130H?). Argentina use this aircraft for flights to Antarctica. I would like to see this livery But I have not found an image of this plane on the Internet... Edited August 6 by GeorgeVB 1

Probably a C-130J, but I might be wrong. Edit: I just saw some photos of a C-130H with a cockpit a lot like in those videos, so might have been a later or upgraded C-130H as well. /Edit Great videos! I guess that means the race is on for epic landing spots on the South Atlantic map as soon as the module gets released. Well, and all other maps as well obviously. Edited August 6 by Yurgon 2

You can see the throttles that control the engine propeller blades next to the thrust levers. So this is a modernized H version. The J version lacks these throttles, and the blade rotation is controlled by the FADEC. 2 |Motherboard|: Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS, |WaterCooler|: Corsair H115i Pro, |CPU|: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, |RAM|: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3200MHz DDR4, |SSD|: Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe, |SSD|: Kingston 2.5´ 480GB UV400 SATA III, |SSHD|: Seagate Híbrido 2TB 7200RPM SATA III, |GPU|: MSI Gaming 980Ti, |Monitor|: LG UltraWide 34UM68, |Joystick 1|: Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog, |Joystick 2|: T.Flight Rudder Pedals, |Head Motion|: TrackIr 5.

Kang Posted August 6 Author Posted August 6 Just to clarify: as the thread so far has shown, a lot of the global C-130 population is 'varying shades of monochrome gray plus a roundel'. Any word on what else there is to expect or planned?
GeorgeVB Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Lockheed Martin has launched an updated civilian version of its C-130J Super Hercules transport, and expects to receive its first order from a customer later this year. https://www.flightglobal.com/lockheed-launches-civilian-version-of-c-130j/112319.article I would like to see a civilian version of the aircraft, or at least a livery. 1
