Very FS9 that has been ported to FSX! Not that I've got anything against that. A couple of my fav A/C fall into that category - ATR - Dash 8 -DHC-7 Bou, Twin Otter
The HUD doesn't work in VC only in 2D Cockpit - that I can work out how to make it display anyway. To get gauges to display must start this A/C in 2D.
Cargo doors don't work in FSX which is noted on their FAQs. It's the first Wilco product I've got so I've emailed them, so will see what their customer service is like.
The flight dynamics are very nice and repaints are very detailed, as is the model.
I'm feeling 50 - 50 on it at the moment, perhaps should have spent double what this cost and got the C-27.
Don't think CS C-130 is threatened from retirement because of it!
On the flip side very impressed with PIS Fau'amotu from a quick look, lots of detail, it's not to Orbx standards, but better than most.

"A normal feature" to remove something as misson critical as a HUD??? I think that the A400F will go down as a bad purchase.
