dsawan Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Don't forget the US postal service but i would think this is a what-if as they dont have a fleet of them. Quote
+Dels Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 hmmm...only thing is....3ds max 2013 model...but can be exported as fbx file...if you want this dels...let me know,will find the creators name for credit...if you use it. made by.....Jason Ohonowskyj Thanks for the offer russo, but I think I will stick with my model. The skin on that looks good but I think the model is lower on polys. Besides, I use 3ds max 7 and haven't had much luck with models made in later versions (.fbx or not). Dels Quote
+russouk2004 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Thats ok m8,I would probably say the same if roles reversed lol Quote
Centurion-1 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Acesfakia, From my quick research, the C-130H2 and C-130B models will suit for the Hellenic Air Force Hercs so you will be able to release the skins as a package after I've released the templates. As for the cockpit... Once the package for the aircraft is finally complete and released I will be going back to upgrade the C-130J cockpit. This will be released separately later. Once that is done, depending on my workload at that time, I may consider building a 1960's era cockpit for use in the early C-130s. I don't make any promises as cockpits (especially ones with lots of instruments) are a PITA to build and I will need a lot of motivation to do it. Dels Amen to that. Quote

+Dels Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 News? Yes: I'm working. I will upload some more progress pics soon. Dels Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hey Dels, a request....... make the tanks a part of the A/C model so the skins for the tanks are in with the aircraft skin folder. Is the only reason i released the pack i made as i did, so different years used different tanks. Plus they are there most of time anyhow Still looking forward to it. All my work halts when you release the templates Quote

+ianh755 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Hi Dels, here's a bit of (hopefully) new info for you, the RAF C-130J-30's are slowly going to be fitted with external tanks over the next few years. Quote
+Dels Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Hi Dels, here's a bit of (hopefully) new info for you, the RAF C-130J-30's are slowly going to be fitted with external tanks over the next few years. What a shame...all that extra drag 100% of the time for the 5-10% of missions where you need it. Oh well, all my C-130's will have the ability to load external tanks so that should cover the RAF J's in the future. Dels Quote
+Dels Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 G'Day again, Here's another update. The modelling is pretty much finished so I will be moving on to re-painting now. Hopefully it won't drag on. The full detail LOD weighs in at just under 25000 polys so you should be able to drop an entire battalion in formation without the game becoming a slide show. In the meantime, here's some more comparison shots: Rear Fuselage: Nose: Landing Gear Pod: Cargo compartment: Flight Deck: Main Landing Gear (rear wheel removed to show detail): Nose Landing Gear: Dels 18 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 hmmm no one has mentioned 14 days yet........ Quote
+Dels Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 If only it were two weeks... Sorry it's been a while but I have been snowed under recently. The good news is that I am making steady progress. So what's new? The model is now 100% complete, I have made the basic templates for 3 of the 5 main skins, and I have finished all the skins for the extra items (fuel tanks, add on sensors, AC-130 additions). Can't give you an eta, but I will upload some screen shots once the first skin (RAAF C-130J-30) is completely finished. Dels 3 Quote
lauro rafael Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Oh mr. Dels... Do not worry, real life is more important. Best of all is to know that the project did not stop. ^^I appreciate the quick response, take your time.Thanks. Quote
SgtSaunders Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Some pics of the finished modelThanks for your hard work Quote
+yakarov79 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Guys. We have already great C-130 from Dels. For years. Of course it would be great to have new one. But old one is good. And still it is fantastic that he is working on new model. So no rush. On the other hand. How many of you are realy flying those big fat planes in game? It is nice to have it in game but it's sad that they are 'useless'. Are you collecting all those planes for having it or also for flying ? We realy need transport sorties, aerial early warning, combat sar, refuel (as tanker also)... of Course I am also unpatient. So...Any chance on HC version ? 1 Quote
+Dels Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 All the versions I'm building are listed earlier in this topic. I will be building the MC-130J which is externally identical to the HC-130J. I am not planning to build the HC-130P/N however I will build the KC-130T which would be externally similar unless you wanted the Fulton recovery system or the beacon tracking (dorsal) radome.

charlielima Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Flying missions with the Fulton recovery system would be a hoot. CL 1 Quote
