CAPTAIN SIM C-130 The Captain Sim C-130 X-perience was originally developed for FS2002/FS2004 as the Legendary C-130 series. The add-on has now been rebuilt, and remastered to meet the moderns quality standards that Captain Sim has set, and to provide a “full spectrum of FSX features”. One of the best parts of buying this product now is that all of the packages, the base package and all past expansions are now offered as an all-in-one bundle package which features the C-130E, C130A, C.Mk1, HC-130, several variants of the C-130J, the C-130T, and CL-130, KC-130 tanker, and an additional 9 models on top of that coming to a total of 18 seperate models and variations. Quick FacTs The C-130 Hercules was originally launched in 1954 is the current aircraft of choice for the military transport needs of countries around the world. Still in production today, over 40 models of the aircraft serve in more than 60 nations around the world, with upwards of 2,500 built as of 2015. The add-on, although older and originally developed for what is now regarded as outdated software features a model that is relatively high in detail and overall quality. The exterior modelling is done well, and accuratley on all variations, and the texturing works well with the model’s to create a nice overall look and feel. Additionally, as with all modern Captain Sim add-ons there is a full suite of awesome animations and functioning parts on the exterior model. From opening/closing doors, to maintenance hatches, and cargo.
