Quick mission. Are you sure you are selecting the C-130 or the C-130X? The X has no engines.

Yep E model. Check PM Z5

Huh,I was going to test it on my XP rig. I don't have the C130 listed.I only have the first mission pack,maybe thats why.

It's not the airplane. It is either your settings or a corrupted mission. You CAN load it up where it is too heavy.

Got it going. All i had to do was remove the drop tanks.

Looks naked. Let me check to see if the tanks got filled somehow.

Oh, and lower your gear when doing LAPES. Otherwise, you will explode if you touch...which you can.

Ok i found the overall problem.

On my Saitek X52 i have the thrust nozzles mapped to my slider. Now usually i keep it all the way down at the bottom so i can move it up when needed.

Fully loaded with wingtanks if i leave the slider all the way up i fly normal. Move the slider down and i stall and hit the ground.

So anyway it's fixed and ended up being a joystick setup issue.

With the Saitek, you can also separate the refueling and TV functions allowing you to refuel the Jolly. Also, helicopter flight is a lot simpler.
