Best freeware C-130 Hercules?

[rgatkinson]

I was just wondering what’s available and what people’s opinions are?

I know the CapSim Herc is very good, I own a copy, but wondered if any freeware comes close?

grateful for your thoughts.

None that I've found.

Bad experience

No good freeware 130's that I could find. Also would not recommend Capt. Sim due to their C-130 not being compatible with today's systems. I bought it, tried to install and wasn't able to get it going. Their refund policy requires a handling fee that was greater than my purchase cost, and that was for a direct download.

Really? The CS C-130 works fine in FSX and P3D 1-3. Just not v4.

The Captainsim C130 works fine for me in FSXA and win7 64 bit.

There's the freeware Alphasim C-130, I don't know how it would measure up to the Captain Sim one though. It's an old model, but I think it still looks reasonably good and it has a VC and it's not bad.

Simshed one perchance?

A bit dated but still nice. A few repaints available too. Not sure how it'll do in P3D.

Thank you, Blackbird! The SimShed C-139 is awesome! They really captured the mass of that aircraft and translated it to FS9.

Thanks guys, that SimShed Herc looks amazing. Will take a closer look when I get home from work.

Re: the SimShed C-130 discussed above, there are two different versions of the plane available, and you don't want the stock one; but rather the one that is the Royal Danish Air Force version... a totally different plane from the standard one. Follow the link posted above and you will get it. Forget about the standard SimShed version.

Except for the paints which are in the official Simshed release...
