Is this available on CD or is a download only?
Re: Captain Sim Herc released - SaVas - 24-10-2005
This was posted on the Avsim forums about cold and dark start-up:
the Wing Isolation Valves are closed. Check under the guarded switch and make sure they are in the NORMAL position, switch down.
After that, if you have the GTC and ATM online, you should be able to start. It is not realistic for one because those switch guards shouldn't
be in a closed position with the valve switch in the CLOSED position. And also, you have no power to the ESS AC Bus, but they can be
started. It was pointed out about the Wing Iso Valves.

Ah, thank you Savas, I see that's where the CS130 forum is as Captain Sim don't have one. Lots of posts about the C130 at Avsim.
I also found this.
-
Quote: the ECL levers have to be in the RUN position;
- there has to be a path for the air from the GTC (APU) to the engine that you are starting so make sure the GTC BLEED AIR VALVE is
open, the WING ISOLATION VALVE is open for the side that has the engine you want to start (leave the other side closed or you may lose
air), and ENGINE BLEED AIR switch is open on the engine you want to start;
- put TEMPERATURE DATUM CONTROL VALVES to Auto;
- use ENGINE FUEL ENRICHMENT (provides extra fuel for starting);
- Make sure you have electrons (for the igniters) by making sure the GTC generator is online and supplying power.
- press and hold the start switch for the engine until you get light-off (ignition)
- once your engine is running ... reset the generator for that engine and make sure it's online;
- close the GTC BLEED AIR VALVE;
- then use the ENGINE BLEED AIR from your running engine to start the other engines ... and remember to make sure both WING
ISOLATION VALVE switches are open when attempting to use air from an engine on one side of the aircraft to supply an engine on the
other side!
Will give that a try later.

Is there any way to use the JATO(Jet Assisted Take-off) or is that a whole entire differnt plane?

You need to download Fat Albert for example from Avsim or the captain Sim website
Re: Captain Sim Herc released - jboweruk - 25-10-2005
CS are working on a JATO version, I hope they're going to do it soon. Getting shot at coming out of under attack airports wouldn't be so
bad if I could climb like a rocket.

Hey DBE, I notice you have this "shower curtain" over your water also (kind of desperate attempt of ms to simulate waves or so). At avsim there is a
nice water replacement called "pwover15.zip" It removes that weird effect and doesn't make the water too dark like others...

How can you see the virtuial cargo hold in the captinsim C-130?

Re: Captain Sim Herc released - Navymmw - 26-10-2005
I tried the "F1" one and it worked a lot better, thanks for the link, and suggestion.
Re: Captain Sim Herc released - jboweruk - 26-10-2005
Yer, I could not get ActiveCamera to work after the 9.1 update no matter what I did.
Didn't matter much as I don't go wandering down the aircraft anyway, personally I'd far rather devs modelled the systems and cockpit to
perfection, but that's just me.

Thank you very much, that looks more like it. Brings back some happy memories.
On that flight we spent the night at Gibraltar and I ended up drinking in the Sargeant's mess in that cluster of red buildings below the rock
with the FE and Loadmaster until 3 am. My room was in the Officer's mess on the other side of the runway near the control tower. It was a
long walk back through the town and the public road across the runway, so I tried to take a direct shortcut straight across the airport.
I didn't get very far before the military police picked me up and I spent the night in a cell waiting for the captain of the aircraft to come and
identify me in the morning.

Thanks for the tip, Dutch. I don't actually use the Gibraltar scenery myself (and thus simply grabbed the pic from avsim), but you're right about the
water effect: it's something I've noticed a couple of times!
Re: Captain Sim Herc released - jboweruk - 26-10-2005
Aerosoft do a Gibralter scenery as well, payware but superb looking. I've never got round to buying it simply because I never fly there, but
have seen screenies of it and everything is modelled, even the apes and seagulls.
