C-130J Port Release

Recommended Posts

So after much thought I have decided to release the port of the C-130J from Arma 2. This was originally just for the @CAF pack, but I have received a lot of requests for it.

Features:

  • 2 variants- One for transporting soldiers (36) one for transporting cargo using scripts (empty)
  • Fully functional incoming missile warning and chaff/flare counter-measure (300rd)
  • Walk-able interior and working ramp
  • Working HUD

What did you add into the IgiLoad script so that we can use this with supplies and such?

And thank you so much for this! We have been needing this for a while now.

Hi there, great port. I was wondering if any of you guys had any issues with the lights not working? (Landing lights and collision lights)

Nice to see a transport plane in arma again.:)

The cargo version seems to have throttle issues. Can't get the plane to move when placed on ground.

Engines start up but the throttle won't work.

When placed as 'flying' in the editor everything works fine.

Hi !

At first, we thank you for releasing this awesome airplane that I really missed.

We tried to practice airborne operations and we encountered the following problem : every paratrooper is dying when he's jumping because he strikes the rear part of the airplane.

The freefly trooper appears inside the airplane, and even if the ramp is open, he dies.

On the other hand, the pilot doesn't encounter this problem.

I think that one way to fix that could be to define the same "jumping place" for every passenger exactly where the pilot's "jumping place" is.

Well....i've been thinking that you might accidentaly used the wrong C-130 mod....there are two of them and the oldest has that throttle problem. I've tried this particular mod and had no problems of taking off what so ever.:)

Works fine for me, if you have a joystick plugged in check your throttle and brake controls something might be conflicting.

OK I did a few tests. I was able to drive an offroad and a Hunter (OK maybe the Hunter isn't very practical since it is too big and hard to get out) right into the open c-130! Unfortunately, I couldn't get the quadbike and a hatchback on to the ramp

The transport version works just fine, so it should not be an issue with the controls. You have tested both versions?

I place c-130j cargo and C-130j transport down as empty in the editor at the airport tarmac.

The transport version has no problems.

With the cargo version I can start the engines but increasing throttle have no effect.

Lowering flaps or use tail rudder seems broken as well, at least no visual movement when I lower flaps or move rudder.

No other mods, running the dev branch.

Awesome!

BUT,... Has anyone ever figure out how to get these to FLY and STAY FLYING at 30,000ft for a "True" HALO Jump???

I've been messing with this project for months and months now, and EVERY Aircraft wants to fall back down and

fly TOO LOW for what I'm looking for. I've given up hope and am thinking we have to do a 'trick' of sorts to fake it...

It seems the max height we can get is about 2-3k meters or so, then do a script to plop us up 11K meters somewhere.

Might have to do a script anyways because it seems you always hit the craft on exit which kills ya. :crazy_o:
