Hi all. I was perusing the threads here. I had done a personal conversion a ways back of a KC-130J, but I kept it to myself as I didn't know how to navigate possibly releasing the .mdl file. I see others have already started doing this, so it spurred me to work on the KC-130J a bit more. I see there was already one other one out someone had done. I however, took my version and have gone a bit further in incorporating things from LM/CS, but also my own mods. Such as something the Super Herc does not have, and that's accurate night lighting. Which I've added to the model. This being the formation (slime) lights, as well as the IR/NVG illuminated propeller tips, similar to what's on the MV-22Bs. I have also reassigned the drogues to work with the tailhook function instead of the CS custom animation to allow people to put whatever cockpit they'd want on this version and still retain the ability to use the drogues. As we all know the "J" models lack any real accurate cockpit. Hopefully someone gets to fixing that. Personally, I have an affinity to the KC-130s having seen VMGR-352's KC-130s fly out of MCAS El Toro and then MCAS Miramar, they've always been my favorite Herc squadron having grown up going to airshows at their respective bases. I've also done custom repaints to more accurately represent the KC-130Js out of Miramar. I created a CAG and Line textures. My next few questions are, is there enough interest for me to go through trying to upload them and then if so, are there suggestions as to how to go about that? As in just posting the needed .mdl files, my textures, and aircraft.cfg mod? Full credit of the aircraft obviously goes to LM/CS. Pics below!
