The only C130 I can find for FS9 is by Mike Stone. A seriously nice airplane. Trouble is I have a major flight problem with it.

Everything is fine until i try to level off after take-off. Then, what ever i do, i can't get the nose down. I have to use full forward pressure on the stick to even come close, but as i lower the rpm, she justs falls out the sky.

I have mailed Mike Stone, but if anyone knows a fix or can help.... PLEASE

did you trim the aircraft before take-off?

Hi Craig.
My 1st thought was 'don't be silly' ??? I know this sounds crazy, but in all the time i've been using FS9, i've never had to trim an aircraft. I have always flown with a 'neutral trim', and never had a problem.

The C130 however, requires significant negative trim to stay level. Thus, I have conquered it.
Thanks, it's too easy to overlook the obvious Embarrassed

If people complain about the price of Alpha Sim's models most would never touch CS's incredible detailed model Roll Eyes

Shame really but to each his/her own

He'll never say when it's going to be finished as delays always throw dates off.

I've never purchase his stuff but they do look awesome
