- 👨✈️Welcome aboard!
Welcome to this review of C130 Hercules by Captain Sim for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. If you want to save some time and you're curious enough to come read the description here's my shortest opinion on the add-on :
PROS
- Good visuals
- Very good animations
- Systems and autopilot work
- Nice to fly
CONS
- Basic systems
- No efforts on the sounds
- ONE LIVERY
- THE PRICE
- THE PRICE
- THE PRICE
- Performance
OVERALL : It could have been a good add-on for half the price. Here no, I would encourage people to wait for a discount.

OMG! What happened to the sound, I’ve flown 130, come on what happened to your quality from years ago you were the best.
Thank you for the review. Being better than previous Captain Sim products is not a compliment in itself. Apart from the nice 3D model this seems to be still a sub-par product. The stall test was eye opening. For me this is freeware territory honestly.
I mean, for sure Delta Simulation set a high standard with their C-17! I appreciate the efforts Captain Sim is making but not at this price that's for sure. And one livery... 😏
I'll keep my Globemaster Freware on PC. Its the best version. Thank You for showing it.
I was just thinking the exact same thing! 😂
Thanks for the review. I'll wait for the Blackbird 130.
REALLY appreciate the review!
Based on what you shared, I agree that it's priced a bit too high. CS could pull through on this if they keep updating it and adding a few more features. I think I'll stick with the Azure Poly Transall for now. Will see what the future brings for this one - it either needs to get better or cheaper. I would vote for Better :)
Something interesting I noticed: the outside livery is (obviously) an American USAF plane, but at 2:25 the crash landing checklist says “CC130” which is the Canadian RCAF model designation for the C-130
These prices are f...ng silly
CS would sell you one livery for $5 you can bet on it.
just tell us youre broke lol its ok..
@@specialopssoldier1 You are clearly devoid of synaptic response in your cerebrum. Has nothing to do with being broke. If you have money, you don't keep it by spending it on overpriced items. Between MSFS and some of the modules in DCS:World coming out at $70 one has to be cost conscious to NOT end up broke.
$40 is cheap
@@anthonysacco5010really? The Globemaster its Freeware on PC just so you know.
Plane looks amazing, honestly. They should had bundle it with the previous release. But I have to respect their decision. Makes me want to fly it. But this review is perfect. You are basically a great salesman for them.
Well I need to make a new video to apologise because I realize I did something not properly regarding the flight model. But for me there's more cons than pros on this plane. Good looking isn't enough at 40$
Since I own the AzurPoly C-160 and love it, I'll wait a while for this product to mature.
Seems a wise decision!
Excellent review. Love the way you break things down into sections! Really helps with my decision to buy it or not. Isn’t a c-130 going to be a free plane in MSFS 2024?
Thank you very much. I don't think so, they showed an a400M but never heard of a free C130.
@@CaptainKenobi Yeah you’re right, it was a A400M! Thanks!
O captain sim poderia transformar o projeto C-130 do FSX e trazer para o MSFS 2020. Aquele projeto foi sensacional, era real .
I am so glad I watched this review and didn't purchase it based on just the preview screenshots.
How is the DV window being opened with the pip pin still fitted? Apart from that it looks like Albert I worked on for 14 years is now looking good.
That's a good question 🤷
Thanks for your video....as regards an excellent soundset there was an excellent product for FSX created by Turbine Sound Simulator....but I don't know why it isn't doing work for the new FS2020,this package is very realistic like his works done for FSX and P3D for other civil and military aircraft,a collaboration between Captainsim and Turbine Sound Simulation would be interesting for a version of this soundset for FS2020, certainly this product would make a big leap forward in terms of its quality !!
Is there a manual for the C-130? Normal procedures or something like that?
8:47 sounds from the C208
I have also realized that captain sim isn't horrible but he isn't good. He needs to hire some more people ( if he even have any ) so that the planes he make will actually be worth it
Apparently they’re going to update the sounds very soon according to a dev in the forums
Nice! That is mandatory for this price imo. Thx for sharing this information
I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Oh wait crap, this ain't April 1st no more.
Enough is enough Captain Sim!
For that price I'll wait for the DCS one
Could it be that the cargo area is not seen in the interior view because performance is a priority?
Or not showing the cargo area would allow for more detail in the cockpit interior.
No, we have examples of other add-ons that have excellent cockpit AND cargo area.
What about sounds.... also the cockpit ones are default 😢, I'm not sure, but I think they are the Hercules ones :(
anyway thanks for your videos, useful as always ❤❤❤
I was a flight engineer on C-130s, and I was disappointed by this because it is an early H-2 model on the outside with an APU. However, on the inside overhead panel, it has a GTC. This H-2 1982 model should have an APU. Also, the Low Speed Ground Idle Buttons do not work. When you start the engines, you start in LSGI and then bring the engines up to 100% and check your generator voltages.
Thx for that information 💯
Thanks for the review. Unless you really want the 130 in MFS, there is a free 130 in DCS that in all fairness is not as grapically impressive, however it is actually free, and you can load actual cargo, open ramps mid flight and even drop paratroopers, for the price of free. (But rather buy the devs a coffee for their work)
Where are the missing sounds for the many animations? E.g. cargo door, emergency hatch, etc...
Very good point ☝️ There's none.
The reason that you cannot enter cargo hold from the cokcpit view relates to performance.
The cargo itselft looks pretty detailed, and that amount of polygons plus high detail in cockpit would result in poor performance on lower end systems
Stop looking for excuses. How did they do it in the C160? A highly detailed cockpit with animations, custom EFB, complete systems, accurate custom sounds, payload management, payload drop animations, highly detailed cargo bay. The cargo bay IS what defines this aircraft: "The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft" So what's the point of selling a 40$ if you don't do the only thing the plane was built for?
@@CaptainKenobi I am not looking for excuses, just giving you explanation for why. Depending on the 3d modeler approach, they might have hit a poly count limit and performance was suffering (according to documentation, safe polycount for large aircraft is 500k triangles).
Pmdg for example, the cabin looks blunt in comparison.
Wheres the black smoke coming off the back? I love just west of greenwood cafb.. every time the cp140 or c130 take off its all back smoke haha
Just another thing missing 🤷
Thank You for the honest review
The C-130 I bought years ago was really well done. Wish this one was the the same or better. So sad as I really was going to spend the money.
40?!?! for one plane one livery?! They are insane!
Captain Sim ? Guess you like throwing money away lol . Good review
How do you move drone camera around like that???
Hey. You use a controller. Do you have one ? You can also map your keyboard to control the drone. Happy to help you if you need a hand 😊
come on 40 dollars isnt a premium category , its ok, we cant keep complaining, 40 bucks is a fair price for a plane like this, looks great and the physics arent bad at all
40 is a lot of money.
Whats the trick for going to the back of the plane?
In the cockpit, you go to the right, as far as possible. Select copilot view. The camera will go outside the plane. Save the view. Go back in the cockpit by pressing reset view. Then load your saved view and now you can move around and save more views, like windows views (when the plane got some ^^)
The visuals are great, I could even overlook the non exterior model from cockpit view....but the default sounds are an absolute dealbreaker. Then you factor-in the high cost? It's a huge NO in this state for me.
Mine is starting turning a lot to the right as fast as i start the autopilot not sure why
Weird
@@CaptainKenobi yes I hope they fix it. I really like the plane so I want to fly it
overstress logic was broken in fsx/p3d and still broken in msfs... aircraft not disappear at certain speed/g... it's take some damage like stuck aileron, lost left or right elevator, lost list of fus. any thing. that don't blow you up in the nihil. it's not good to use it and not good to model it. that shit happens slow step by step some time you can recover situation and land after all some time if damage too much - no... but for broke something for good you need to do be really really insistent or unconscious with elevator trim too much down:) why they still do that... i mean asobo and 3rd party guys. however we can disable this nonsense in the options:)
For 50 Bucks u get an Fenix A320 and its Perfect!
For 50bucks I can get the CH47 chin.
It's a great aircraft to have in SIM, but not this one and not for that money. One livery, no missions, no access to cargo area and way too quiet. Hercs fly over my house fairly regularly, they are loud.
The Miltech CH47 and the Azurpoly C160 have set the bar for military transport aircraft. They are a truly awesome add on, especially the Chinook. Bases, missions, liveries, awesome sounds, great level of interaction with systems etc. That's what we want.
With updates and a less cheeky price this could be there. It's closer, but still a ways off.
100%
As with all of captainscams last 2/3 products they are currently $15 products at maximum (before that $5 products) it is an outright insult to developers who put a lot of effort in to producing high quality products that warrant the $40 price. I think Microsoft should police people like captains and Breejoke who are ripping customers off. What’s the point of promoting that you moderate the marketplace then let scammers sell
This one is actually not in the marketplace, not yet at least, idk if there's plan to put it.
CaptainSim more like CaptainSCAM
When is available for Xbox ?
Probably never. The exterior only one is a rip off in my opinion.
🤷
$40 nope not for me. Thanks for the review.
It is a nice model - but for $40 and, no, you cannot open the ramp in flight, I'll wait for a sale around Christmas time or something.
Not being able to see the cargo area from the cockpit is not a huge issue. You can't see it from the cockpit in real life either unless you get out of the seat and walk back there. That said, I already don't look at the cabins of airliners so not having the cargo area in view isn't a huge issue.
Steer clear of captain sim.
this was the perfect model to do . far to many glass cockpits around so boring this as the feeling an age
it's really a matter of personal taste
i really wish azurpoly would make a c-130
The C-160 is fantastic already ;)
azurpoly C-130!! Now that would be something worth the money🇺🇸🪖👍😀🙏🏼
@@CaptainKenobi i know i own it ahaha, but the c-130 is such a well known plane and would make them so much money. and they would make such a good plane
Milviz is making a C130J
Beautiful design and quality speaking, but yes, the sounds suck so bad, very unfortunate as the sound of the Hercules irl is so god damn awesome and I must say, the flight model? it's a very easy aircraft to fly, I find the c-160 more challenging/aka/fun, though it's over all very nice, but also, very expensive, but I don't regret the purchase
It's a game I will never get the chance to play 😢
?
I believe it is important to the genre that we stop calling it a game and call it what it is meant to be ... a simulator. If we persists in calling it a game then that is the way this program will continue to go. For the good of us all let's drop 'game' from our vocabulary when it comes to MSFS2020 ... in doing that developers might lift their game and give us what we need, instead of what "will do because it's only a game". It falls to us to push up, and not allow some developers to push down. We must also continue to impress upon Asobo and Microsoft that true simmers are not gamers (something I really don't think they fully understand).
Yes it is a game but at the same time it mainly ain't it's more of a simulation, just like American Truck simulator.
One livery for $40 is hilarious
unfortunately
I have supported cs for a long time especially in fax and p3d, however I can not continue to do that based on the lack of comprehension and understanding of what the Flightsim community want. Whilst cs modelling and texturing has always been very high standard, it is extremely lacking in so many other areas. For me this release is no better than the cheap rubbish put out by other modellers. For all developers, if you want the decent dollars, than put in the effort and work for it. The flight simulation community is happy to part with money, but for decent products. Stop trying to screw money out of people for shit products. Kind of tired of it and it is not only damaging to your brand but also the flight simulation community as a whole. Better standards and benchmarks need to be achieved. Realistic modelings, textures, visual cues, animations, audio, and flight dynamics as well as effects are all the elements that go into making a quality product and so far many devs have fallen way short of this , just chasing dollars for half assed effort. Many developers need to lift there game as this level of offering is unexceptable.
Azért a kipufogó füstöt oda tehették volna. Hiányzik az élethűség.
C17 when?
There's already a very good one, and free! ruclips.net/user/shorts3x5tKIlo6wU?feature=share
@@CaptainKenobi hmm thanks. Who makes this? Sorry I don’t see that in the video or comments.
Oh yeah, it's Delta Simulation, you can find it on Flightsim.to ;)
@@CaptainKenobi ok I appreciate it
Looks a lot like this model: www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/lockheed-c-130-h-hercules-1777615
Nothng wrong with that of course.
Looks like yes
I see 49.99 and for some reason that 9.99 makes it even WORSE
Yeah it's discounted 😂
So it's the same plane i already own by him but rebuilt an yet i got to pay to buy the same plane i already have which is the C130E smh makes no sense it should be free to the people who already own the first C130 of his.
As far as functionality, I’m going to assuming part of it is due to some restrictions in the sim, but that’s just purely an assumption.
Possible
Msfs addons should only be 1.99 to 5.99. Seriously, why do they charge 40-60-70+ just for them to half -ass it? Its like buying a bunch of hamburgers with no meat
C160 is better.
100%
Way better
@@user-ks5vc1yj5hI don’t even have it! 😂
@@CaptainKenobiMight get it on market place as I plan on getting a series X this year I got a pc it’s getting old pc standards though. I can get a console but I can not get a newer pc in this economy.
Series X is good as long as you don't overload with add-ons (and just install the vital world updates of where you like to fly)
Not all the planes are 100% finished when offered in a Store. With my purchase i Give captnsim the possibility to develop further more. so i am waiting
4 min 57 mdrr le vide le nothing
😁
Strange... no problem of stall for me. the stall is realistic and no power up from the plane ...
J'ai vu sur ta vidéo 🤷 Honnêtement je sais pas. Je vais essayer avec full flaps comme tu as fait voir s'il y a une différence, je ne vois pas pourquoi mais on sait jamais.
@@CaptainKenobi oui étrange.. Je referrals des essais également
J'ai trouvé, vidéo corrective demain, merci de l'avoir signalé 👍
@@CaptainKenobi ;)
I'm sure he will update it just like the others. So far I'm actually impressed.
The model is actually very nice and flies well, the stock King Air sounds are obviously way off. However, the legacy FSX/P3D TSS C-130/T56 sound pack works great and is an easy install using the JSON converter. With those sounds, it is dead on!
Interesting, thx!
Huge dissapointment here, that audio is very underwhelming. Definitely not worth the asking price.
It's very impressive have been flying it since it came out, and very great airframe
If you're happy that's what matters regardless of opinions on this ;)
@@CaptainKenobi iv been flying the Moose for over 100 hours, that's pretty much all I fly, and after few hours with the Herc is very hands on and they have done a really good job.
captain sim being captain sim, nothing to see here.
Seems so
The sounds are way off.. a C130 does not sound like that. Just give it to Miltech!! They’ll get you real accurate shit! Look at there CH47! It’s 100% accurate and it’s study level!
💯
Very interesting... Somewhat disappointing actually. It looks beautiful, but I think I'll pass.
This is near PMDG level. Really? Have you seen how little stuff is modelled in this aircraft? Bloody silly statement 😒
Yeah thx I made a lot of videos and flights with the 737
errr.. I´ll pass
I think it's a good call
$40 is nothing!!!! Try xplane! A average plane is$70$$$ and up!
I know but it's MSFS here
$40 is hardly an expensive add-on. $80-100 perhaps, but not $40.
regarding military aircraft msfs, agree to disagree.
Hardly? Its CS not PMDG. Price goes with reputation.
again, a money grab by Capt Sim
CS = Hard pass.
$40 is not bad compared to others, lmao. Yes I know Captain Sim’s history.
I’ve been flying these as a Flight Engineer for almost 8 years now. That’s my overhead panel albeit this is an E model and we have H models, lots of differences and I never flew an E model, I’m too young for that. I’m a little disappointed that it isn’t fully modeled and functional. Even the OG version for FSX was functional. The big disappointments for me was engine startup was completely wrong and that the low speed ground idle (LSGI) sound also wasn’t modeled. I will report my findings in a later comment.
First issue I see off the bat is that the overhead panel features GTC or gas turbine compressor controls when the external model features an APU, or auxiliary power unit.
Edit: Oh yeah this isn’t even as complete as the original. Still cool to look at I guess but there’s almost no system functionality anymore. Half the switches on the overhead panel are non functional and the engine start is even more incorrect than the first… lol the engine start sequence is 3,4,2,1, not 1,2,3,4 and you hold the starter switch until 60% rpm it’s not a press to start. Oh well, I hope they correct this. Also fuel pressure indicator doesn’t work nor does the bleed air manifold pressure indicator to the right on the wall.
Thx for sharing those informations. Yes systems are very basic not to say poorly worked.
It needs eight bladed propellers
Knowing that they gave us a shell C-130, you would think at least some consideration for those of us that spent the 20. Sure we knew what we were getting but come, this is like kissing your sister, so please cpt sim, this has some faults also but please cut us some slack. 🪖🇺🇸👍🙏🏼😳
