I got this from the marketplace on sale. Just being transparent. That said this might be one of the very best Captain Sim has released for MSFS. Sure it’s light on systems but it does manage to present itself in a very satisfying way. It looks amazing and the usual basket of extras like open/close various doors, hatches and ramp etc really makes for major eye candy on the the ground. The engines are 3D modeled inside rather than just a sticker photo. The cockpit almost perfectly matches the real thing based off web photos available to compare.
It even flies like you’d think a C130 should. Although the engines are based on standard or stock turboprop FX they are tweaked to a degree that they sound pretty darn close.
Sadly no wind or window sound changes when opened.
More than just one livery would be nice and so would a bit more operable switches and buttons. As is maybe less than half are currently operable. That is the main gripe I have, but all in all I must say it’s not bad at all.
