The livery question

[Kang]

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.

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.

German Airforce hopefully.

And I hope a livery magician will do a 1980s GAF Transall look-alike eventually

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:

As long as there is an RCAF skin all will be fine.

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...

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.

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.

I know, but it would look nice with that paint.

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]

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.

I would like to see a civilian version of the aircraft, or at least a livery.

I'm looking at that picture very closely but I'm not seeing any RCAF markings.

Milestone unlocked: Canada’s CC-130J Super Hercules fleet has surpassed 100,000 flight hours!

From domestic operations to global missions, the Royal Canadian Air Force has relied on the Super Herc to deliver unmatched performance, versatility and endurance.

We’re proud to support the RCAF and salute the aircrews and maintainers behind this incredible achievement.
