Review of my new C-130

Hi all,

Well, yesterday I got $10, so I bought the Alphasim C-130 (my first payware plane). And here is a review.

Here is the OK panel, in my opinion it uses to many default gauges like the 737 AP and 777 radios, ive seen better.

The rear view in the cockpit is the cargo hold, which is pretty cool.

RAF Textures, the cargo, pilot and paratrooper doors are open.

USAF textures taking off with flaps.

Fat Albert missing the assisted takeoff rockets. :(

Coast Guard paintjob.

The VC isnt even worth showing it only has like 4 gauges   ::)

Overall out of 10

Panel...6.5
Flight Dynamics...9
VC...3
Sound...7
Random stuff and animations...8

So is it worth it?
It is worth no more than $10 at the most, worth more like 6 to me.

Jez, you PAID for THAT?!

Sorry mate but the Simshed model is WAY better and there are MUCH better panels avaialble, all FREEware. Also, what's up with the blurry textures?

I wouldn't install a freeware FS98 panel that looked like that.

The visual model is terribly outdated too.

I suggest the CaptainSim C-130.
