DESPARATELY seeking Lockheed C130 For FS9

[philsymonds]

The only C130 I can find for FS9 is by Mike Stone.  A seriously nice airplane.  Trouble is I have a major flight problem with it.

Everything is fine until i try to level off after take-off.  Then, what ever i do, i can't get the nose down.  I have to use full forward pressure on the stick to even come close, but as i lower the rpm, she justs falls out the sky.

I have mailed Mike Stone, but if anyone knows a fix or can help.... PLEASE

did you trim the aircraft before take-off?

[philsymonds]

Hi Craig.
My 1st thought was 'don't be silly'  I know this sounds crazy, but in all the time i've been using FS9, i've never had to trim an aircraft.  I have always flown with a 'neutral trim', and never had a problem.

The C130 however, requires significant negative trim to stay level.  Thus, I have conquered it.  
Thanks, it's too easy to overlook the obvious

If people complain about the price of Alpha Sim's models most would never touch CS's incredible detailed model  ::)

Shame really but to each his/her own

OH MAN!!! how does one get hold of that amazing model?? my father was in the SAAF (South African Air Force).. and he flew C-130s for a long time. he was the air force's C-130 display pilot for a majority of the time too. i'm looking to maybe get this for him as a suprise... any ideas?

He'll never say when it's going to be finished as delays always throw dates off.

I've never purchase his stuff but they do look awesome
