    Experience the Lockheed C‑130 Hercules

    In this episode, we explore the C-130J DCS Module, diving into its development, features, and the unique experiences it offers. Scott "Roger" Chafian, Brian "Sunshine" Sinclair, Baltic Dragon join Matt Delaney to discuss the aircraft's history, its tactical capabilities, and the challenges Matt faced during the DCS module's creation. Matt provides a comprehensive look at what it took to make the C-130J a standout module in DCS. The Airplane Simulation Company: https://www.airplanesimulations.com/ Digital Combat Simulator: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ Brian Sunshine Sinclair: https://www.3-wire.com/ Baltic Dragon: https://www.baltic-dragon.net/ C-130 EXPERIENCE NOTES:Blue Angels “Fat Albert” The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration team operates a support C‑130J nicknamed “Fat Albert.” At airshows around the United States, Fat Albert opens the show with a high‑energy routine, demonstrating the Hercules’ STOL capabilities and surprising agility. The aircraft performs steep take‑offs, power climbs, tight turns and tactical descents. Until 2009, JATO (jet‑assisted take‑off) rockets added extra spectacle. Today’s Fat Albert uses modern six‑blade propellers and continues to thrill crowds. Several museums allow visitors to step inside or operate replicas of the Hercules: Hill Aerospace Museum (Utah) – Their “C‑130 Experience” turns a retired fuselage into an interactive classroom. Visitors climb into the cargo bay and cockpit, interact with real controls and experience mission scenarios such as hurricane hunting, Antarctic landings and Fulton recovery. The exhibit reproduces sights, sounds and vibrations, giving a taste of being on a mission Air Mobility Command Museum (Delaware) – Houses a C‑130E that visitors can tour on open‑cockpit days, with veterans providing guided walkthroughs Museum of Aviation (Georgia) – Hosts an annual C‑130 Day where attendees explore a Hercules with former crew explaining systems. These experiences contextualise the aircraft’s history and allow people to appreciate the complexity of its cockpit and the scale of its cargo bay. Several aviation museums around the world display C‑130s and sometimes permit visitors to tour the interior. Notable examples include: Museum Location Display Highlights Hill Aerospace Museum Utah, United States The C‑130 Experience—interactive fuselage exhibit with mission simulations. Air Mobility Command Museum Dover Air Force Base, Delaware C‑130E walk‑through tours on open cockpit days, guided by veterans. Museum of Aviation Warner Robins, Georgia Annual C‑130 Day event allowing visitors inside a Hercules. Pima Air & Space Museum Tucson, Arizona Displays a retired HC‑130 used by the U.S. Coast Guard. Royal Air Force Museum Cosford Shropshire, United Kingdom Houses a former RAF C‑130K. Royal Australian Air Force Museum Point Cook, Australia Displays a C‑130A, illustrating early Hercules service. Many other museums worldwide—such as the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, the Italian Air Force Museum (Vigna di Valle) and the Egyptian Air Force Museum—exhibit retired C‑130s. Visitors can appreciate the size of the cargo bay, the complexity of the cockpit and the wear from decades of service. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Flight Simulator Red Arrows Flight Team

    Baltic Dragon and RG sat down with the Flight Simulator Red Arrows team for a really fun and surprisingly deep conversation about what it takes to pull off their signature precision flying in the sim world. These guys don’t just hop in and wing it — they train, rehearse, and refine their routines with the same discipline you’d expect from a real display team. We dug into how they coordinate formations, what their practice schedule looks like, and what keeps them motivated to put in so many hours perfecting the craft. It was a genuinely cool look behind the scenes at a group that brings passion and professionalism to virtual aviation. https://discord.gg/jZuq7T792a https://www.youtube.com/@fsredarrowsltd Hosted on Acast.

    The F-100 DCS Experience with Grinnelli, Nelson and Sunshine

    In this episode, we sit down with Grinnelli, Sunshine, Roger, Rob, and JNelson to talk about the in-development DCS F-100 Super Sabre module. The conversation focuses on what it’s like bringing the Hun into DCS, the aircraft’s defining characteristics, and how the team is approaching its behavior in the sim. Grinnelli discusses his experience being welcomed into the F-100 community and what he’s learned from the people who know the jet best. Sunshine and JNelson add a brief look at how the game engine handles some of the aircraft’s unique flight traits, and Roger provides historical context that helps frame the F-100’s place in aviation. It’s a practical, honest discussion about the aircraft, the module, and what sim pilots can expect as development continues. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ https://grinnellidesigns.com/f-100/ https://supersabresociety.org/  Hosted on Acast.
