  1. just a suggestion from a 130 guy.... the E/H models currently in use by the USAF do not have the second set of external tanks and don't perform the tanker role.  Only rescue HC-130 and special ops MC-130P's do the tanking role.

    no, but some European airforces do, dont forget others do use it apart from the US...

    does that no mean there isn't going to be a standard grey "trash-hauler" and there will be only one with the tanking capabilites?  and not to be a jerk...but I am aware that other nations fly the Herk.  As a matter of fact...my hats off to the Aussies for being one of the first to fly the new J models in a combat zone.  My squadron won't convert to the J until 05-06.

    One other question for the maker-  will your version have chaff/flares?

    you'll have to ask Hawk that, i dont know myself


  2. as you may know, SWAF had a "virtual war" with Kyllikki about a month ago...a C130 was used during the war, we were going mad for a more realistic C130, one that wasnt a flying brick in effect, I did most of the bitching as i had to fly it (or rather try rock.gif). due to the limitations of the old one the C130 wasnt used much in the end and so mid way through the war, Furia made a request for a much more detailed and flyable C130 to be made, Hawk took up the challenge and has done an excelent job,

    so rest assured, this isnt mere eyecandy... this thing flys and flys well smile_o.gif

  4. as you said, people i know seem to be divided on this issue... i dont think some people would be happy having one law or whatever passed for all of europe, that was not legal(or whatever) when they were independant...might sound superficial, but i think names for things is abit of a hang up there as for example:

    a while back (about a year i think) there was talk of changing the names of fish here in the UK to that of the rest of europe...fair enough, in theory it would be ok, but then some people prefer the names as they are now and not in latin...another example would be the name of the new "unified europe"; "United States of Europe" i believe...not to sound anti-american, but that name just sounds...well...crap, wheres the originality?

    anyway before i go too far offtopic my view: not entirely happy with the idea

    edit: on a side note...would this finally mean we would standardise weapons and military equipment?


  5. i would have thought there would be the fittings for a door gunner or something...mission dependant maybe?

    im not fussed about a gunner to be honest, most of the time they dont shoot at anything anyway...and someone said in this thread the model had a 170 speed limit or something...cant be right as i had it to nearly 300 rock.gif


  6. Ok.. thanks to Deadmeat, the handling is fixed now. smile_o.gif

    'Twas a Geometry problem... the components were overlapping so I made a new geo lod.

    Anyway... off to fix that gearup sound...

    so does that mean the download is updated? or will it be reposted?


  7. having not seen your posts in question ill make a guess, they dont like the same thing being posted several times in multiple forums, if not that then i dont know, maybe "too offtopic even for offtopic"?
