    Hot Dog! Hehe, I made it. The weather could have been a lot better, but with Old Dudley we made it. Who would have thought it!

    Landed at VVNT

    hehe, we do so good, hehe, going to give it another try. Leaving VVNT to VVPC. A short flight.

    Hi!, took a long time for this short flight, darn phones! Again, the weather was questionable a number of times, but for most of the junkets the weather clears enough on approach and landing, weird!


    Hehe a safe landing at VVPC, At least, I am learning to fly the C-130!

    hey there! So far so good, so we are going to give it another go. Leaving VVPC and heading for VTUU. Learning to fly the C-130E using MS generic Weather.

    On the job training eh? My next trip around will be similar. I don't think I've landed the Ford more that a half dozen times

    I have tried 3 times to fly the above flight. I have had the Captiansim's C-130E for FSX for sometime now, and have had nothing but problems with it. OK, here the problem, and no reply from CS, the electrical system goes dead just a few minutes into any flight. The last couple of flights it has worked with just the problem a few times. I also have the C-130E for FS9 and have never had this type of problem. If any one could help with this it would be appreciated.

    Could there be a generator switch someplace you're missing turning on when you start up?
    A "fix" to needing a Gen SW but not having one on the panel is to start the flight with a default plane, like a C172, B737 or something on the runway, running, from the freeflight screen. THEN switch over to the C-130, after you're sure the default plane's generator, battery, avionics, etc are all switched on.
    I don't KNOW that that will solve the problem, but it may point you in the right direction, maybe. I had that problem with a B206, no I don't recall which one, but loading the default B206 first, then switching over solved it. So I put in a Generator switch in the trouble bird, and voila! Problem solved. Again, it may, or may not, fix your situation.

    Just a thought. Hope it helps!

    Edit: Is it a freeware plane? If it is, may I inquire as to which zipfile it is, and from where? Maybe I can DL it and take a look to see what's what? No promises, but...

    You could also try adding this entry to your electrical section if there is not one already to see what happens.

    Hey fellows thanks for the help with my problem with the electrical system on the C-130E from Captainsim FSX. Played around with things and it worked. Now all I have to do is remember what the heck I did. hehe.


    Landed a VVDN, and all it is calm. surprise!

  13. #13
    Hey there! Now if I can remember what I did in order for the electrical system to keep working! hehe.

    Heading to VTUW from VVDN

  14. #14
    Hello, Wow! this has been a real bugger to complete, started yesterday, R/L issue came about, and some problems, again, with the C-130. Hehe today, same old problem with the electrical service shutting down, but we final made it!


    Landed at VTUW believe or not! Hope better luck on the next flights.

  15. #15
    Hey there everybody, weather is nice, got a couple of peanut butter sandwiches, and plenty of fresh ground coffee beans. Ah....home made coffee, HEHE! Old Dudley tells me he makes the best coffee in the Air Force and we shall see.


    OK, enough of the baloney! I sure hope this trip from VTUW to VVCI is a lot easier than one we have made in the past.

  16. #16
    I sure hope that I have the problem of having my electrical go dead on the Lockheed C-130E. The last flight it worked AOK, so going to give it a try again.


    Hey, Taco and Crew will be leaving UTUW for VVCI flying the C-130 in 1970 texture.

    For duenna information please see Taco's Nightmare. Got so excited about completing the flight from VTUW to VVCI put the duenna in the wrong folder. You all know one of those Senior things.

    Well all, let me see if I get this right this time.

    Leaving VVCI to VVNB. The Hanoi Hilton was recommended for an overnight stay, but some friends from the past said. "Ain't no way!"

  19. #19
    Well now, that was a short run. Hey, but we made it not in record time flying by the numbers. At one point it looked like we might have an fighter escort to Hanoi, it so they stayed far behind us. hehe

    Taco and Dudley and Crew landed at Hanoi VVNB in our C-130E

    Hey, good morning.

    Woke up this AM and took my 50# 4 and half months old St. Bernard puppy for a walk at in the bush. Big question with that pup who is the walkie or the walker. hehe.


    Enough of the local stuff. Taco and Dudley and Crew will be leaving VVNB Hanoi for VVDB DienBien.

  21. #21
    Hey made it! Weather was OK, plane handled nice( for a change) and we landed at VVDB! Next leg we will be heading south to some where in Laos, and fresh coffee, and of course peanut butter sandwiches LOL. Well, not everything went well something happened to are cameras. Maybe something simple, but with our luck who in the heck knows. hehe

    When I was growing up, long ago it seems now, we had a St. Bernard. Got her as a pup, giant paws, galumphing all over the place, but eventually we got her trained. Wonderful dog. GREAT guard dog. I saw her "escort" a couple questionable "gentlemen" across the top of our corral fence a few times. First we knew they were there was she started growling at the sliding glass door, asking to go OUT. Her growl was more like the start of an earthquake! Just a subsonic rumble that made our hair stand up.
    She also chased a bull, that had gotten loose from the rodeo grounds next door to our property, back over there. She was nearly as big as it was!
    She was a great dog, all around. Just be ready! They dearly love water, and if you don't want to go swimming with them, you better be ready to let go of the leash! Snow, too. Get anywhere near the stuff, a St. Bernard will turn back into that big, galumphing, puppy again. Cavort and romp for hours in snow.
    Odd thing, though. My family had a St. Bernard, and our last name is Bernard. Coincidence?
    Enjoy your puppy! And take heart, they don't eat nearly as much once they grow up

    Hi Pat, Know what you mean about St. Bernard's this is our third one, but first male and he is sure different than both the females we had. He is learning or I am! Thanks for your comments

    Hehe, what the heck it is Sunday and getting hot outside, so the Crew of the C-130E will be heading to YTUD from VVDB

  25. #25
    LoL, Hehe another one for the book. C-130E and Crew landed at VTUD without any problems, with the exception of the bloody camera got film and really some nice shots that should be, but as with a few thing on this junket it just don't want to work. hehe
