Tell me about it, how did you sort it out mate? I'm having real grief with that lady.

Saving flights at airports and shutting down to cold and dark and loading another plane next flight is the problem I quess.
What I did is real simple , just load the default Cessna and check the fuel pump , master switch etc , after the check load the Herc
It seems that half my systems were still off

I hope this helps mate

Which payload model do you use with the C130 ?

[Mud]

There is a FSP payload model for the C130.
But I think it need some tweaking.

It doesnt have anything to do with the payload model.

if you are nost starting cold and dark with the C-130, you have to turn off the battery switch then back on, the fuel pumps off then on, your
crossfeed switches correct placement, a few other switches, etc to get the overhead panel lights to go out, then take off, otherwise it will
use about 140 gallons and stop using the fuel tricking FsP and allowing you to go around the world about infinite times until you decide
to land as it wont be using fuel but will allow you to remain in the air.

no ofcourse not you silly

Thanks for some explanation Savas it helps.
And for the payload , I doubled it but I think it can be trippled.
Gonna experiment abit and prolly cut the cargo in 2 bays ( CG wise )

Thanks guys.

I bought the C130 a few days ago and love it. I've done a few test flights without FSP, but will be adding it to my fleet when I get C7 after
(hopefully) just one more flight.

My question re the payload model was because I searched the more downloads for one and didn't find, so a liitle off the original topic.
Sorry if I confused things a little.
