Could anyone recommend a good C-130 for AI traffic? I'm using Mike Stone's with the cruise speed set to 300 and it porpouses before crashing and disappearing in a pile of smoke on the runway.
thnx

The flight dynamics of mike stone's C130 are not good for AI traffic. Try replacing them with those of the default dash 8.
 

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition
&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

Thanks for the replies Agreed. Mike's C-130 does not work for AI. I had installed David Friswell and Johan Crous's C-130 but it doesn't show up in the sim. After adding it to my aircraft.txt and placing its number in my flightplan.txt it's a no-show.

The Readme states something about a 1% spreadsheet for the aircraft.cfg whatever that's supposed to mean. Anyway, I hope i don't have to repaint the David Friswell and Johan Crous plane to make it work.

In the mean time, MIke's C-130s look cool parked at Eielson AFB, PAEI, in Fairbanks!

Back to the drawing board.

thnx

EDIT
Silly me . . . pasted the David Friswell and Johan Crous plane in the wrong folder! It now shows but needs a paint-job

i think there are repaints in there...
only for the standard one, not for the J model
 

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Thanks for the tip, Ivan you are the man when it comes to pointing someone in the right direction. It's the same David Friswell over at aussim.au who created the C130 model so it all works quite well.

We just used one repaint for a test and it lfies like a bird, lands and taxiis to parking.

...

thanks again for making my military airports look better.

p.s. now i have to add G.K.'s other three C130 repaints Wink
