We are very pleased and proud to announce that we will be publishing the Captain Sim C-130 Hercules on DVD. The Just Flight pack will continue our tradition of providing excellent value for money and will come with a printed manual. The full specs are yet to be announced but as soon as they are available we will post them up, but in the meantime here are some 'hot off the press' screen shots to be going on with. Thanks to Martyn for taking the pics!

That looks fantastic.

Will this release be an upgrade for owners of the FS9 C130 or is it going to be a wholly new FSX add on ?
Thanks
Gerry

I have a question about price. On captainsim website c-130 pro pack costs 90 euro, but the justflight c-130 will cost 53 euro. Why such a big difference? As I understand this is the same product.

The exact content is not be the same (number of liveries and model types, not other bits) between the Captain Sim release and the Just Flight one. I am sure that you will find our release excellent value for money with a good spread offered. Have a look here below for details of the Just Flight version so you can compare if you wish.

Hope that is of help.

I did compared them finally. JF version doesn't have these models: 

- C-130H French
- LC-130 (on skis) 
- NC-130 (AEW&C) 
- C-130A (3-blade props) 
- C-130J (with rfl probe)
- CL-130 (on floats)

I have no idea what these models are, actualy. =) I never played c-130 before.

I bought Captain Sims C-130 a while back and had to take it off as it smashed my FPS!!!!
This is the aircraft i would want most ever as i absolutely love it.
 
I am right in saying that because it is a new FSX version, it will use bump mapping so FPS will hardly be effected??
 
Please say yes.

One answer - 5th September is when we have it planned but we are awaiting confirmation from disc replicators. Worst case will be 12/9. Official announcement on its way when we know more.

Me too TongueHugWink
In my eyes to Fly is more than Just Loving it.

It is a Passion we can all now Share within Flight Sim.



When in Doubt, Always go Around.

And it's available to pre-order now - either the full product for FS2004/FSX, or a discounted upgrade for FSX users who have the original Just Flight C-130 for FS2004. Details at http://www.justflight.com/newsDetail.asp?newsID=920
