"This is one of the best FS addons of any description that I have ever had the privilege to review and I would go so far as to say that I doubt anyone will better it as far as  military sims go - the Herc just is pure pleasure and as if that wasn't enough, it runs much faster than I would expect on FSX" FlightSim.com 

"The model is simply breathtaking with a photo-realistic recreation of the actual aircrft. Every line and river of the Hercules is reproduced in exquisite detail culminating in waht is regarded by many as the finest aircraft model ever seen in Flight Simulator." PC Pilot

"A very thorough and comprehensive printed manual... Simply one of the best sound simulations of the Hercules... Flying the C-130 was a joy... A cheap release for what you get... Overall it is a very nice package and works well" Avsim.com

"I was absolutely blown away by the add-ons exterior detail and animated features... In regard to hand flying, the C-130 is quite frankly outstanding... A superb rendition of the aircrafts exterior... Just Flight should be applauded for managing to provide this fine product on DVD at such exceptional value for money... The manual includes everything the flight simulation enthusiast requires in order to operate this iconic military transport" Mutley's Hangar

"The quality of the manuals is excellent... The depth of this sim is quite outstanding... The exterior is simply beautiful... The interior is also stunning... The more than 100 custom animations are detailed and excellent... Such attention to detail, such depth of system simulation, and such a feel of authenticity and quality" Computer Pilot


Reviews of the original FS2004 C-130 Hercules release

"Without doubt Just Flight has a winner on its hands with this package" Aircraft Illustrated

"From nose to tail, inside and out, this is just a superb product... a benchmark that can be used to judge all other FS2004 aircraft add-ons - a five-star gem!" Combat Aircraft

"It soundly beats down any prior MSFS incarnation of the 'Herc' I've ever seen" AVSIM.com

"This Just Flight package in a single stroke takes an already superb Hercules simulation and pushes it off the scale of our reviewing grades. If we had an 'Ultra Classic' award we could bestow for the finest turboprop aircraft, we could perhaps do full justice to this add-on. As it is, our PC Pilot Classic award will have to suffice for such an incredible achievement as Just Flight's C-130 Hercules" PC Pilot

"This is quite simply the finest cargo aircraft we have ever seen in FS2004 and deserves to be regarded as one of the finest FS2004 aircraft of all time" PC Pilot

"There are many high quality and reasonably high priced add-ons avaialble today for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This package of the C-130 from Just Flight must be considered as being in the 'Best of the Best' category. It is crammed packed with features and extras that make it exceptional value in the current market" SimNewz.com

"The reward comes with the detail of artwork put into this product" London-Morning-Paper.co.uk

"I love LOVE LOVE LOVE it, and this is worth every penny of the cost. I can honestly say that this program is packed with professionalism and detail to the most exacting standards... The entire product is offered to the most exacting standard, a bench mark for others to follow" FlightSim.com

"if you are interested in the Lockheed C-130 or military aircraft in general, there is no better place to spend your money!" FS Station.com

"Anyone who has ever visited a C-130 flight deck will get goose bumps when they step inside the VC" Computer Pilot

"Overall, I found the C-130 Hercules package to be brilliant. The details and realism of the entire product makes it a real must-have" PC Flight

"The visual model is second to none - simply stunning... The flight dynamics are better than any other Captain Sim product I've flown which is nearly all of them. In fact, I'd rank it among the best in terms of “feel” in flight... In my opinion, the C-130 is truly a Herculean effort (had to do it, sorry), and very well worth the price tag" ScreenshotArtist.co.uk
