Hello all...! Smiley


I have been looking into some payware, as i have a bit of extra cash and would like to further enhance my sim.
I have been thinking about the Captain Sim C-130 and the Alphasim Scenery for Nellis and Langley AFB.

There are quite a few reviews and screenies of the CS C-130, and they all rave about it. Is it as good as it looks? Flight Dynamics? And how complicated are the systems?

Also, does anyone out there have any of the Alphasim Sceneries? How is the detail and realism?



Thanks in advance!!! Grin Grin

The C130 is a must have I think, pretty simple, doesnt murder frames (I ran it on my comp before with 512 megs ram and a Nvidia MX440 pretty good) its a pretty good plane, As for the Alphasim scenery, I dont have it, Cheers, Gunny

get both...C130 is amazingly detailed and flight dynamics are awesome!  Alphasim scenary is pretty good tho some of the AI that comes with it is misplaced and AFCAD is lined up with all the taxiways, but very detailed

C-130 definately recommended...Alphasim Scenery...don't know what to say...I had the RAF Fairford Scenery for FS2002, but that was crap on my system...haven't bought any sceneries from Alphasim in a few months at least 8) Wink

I have the Alphasim Groom lake package which includes a U.F.O, and its a brilliant package, it includes static B2's, F-117's, U2's and a lot of other features and is also quite detailed.
