'C-130 Hercules': The RAF's heavy hauler is fully loaded and on its way to re-supply Flight Simulator 2002/2004. Clear the decks and get ready to see some leading edge logisitics!

'A340 Professional': The Airbus A330/A340 family of airliners are re-created for Flight Simulator 2002/2004 by celebrated developers Phoenix Simulation Software. There's no doubt that when it comes to the new generation of airliners, Old Europe is the place that sets the pace!

Check out features, 13 C-130 pics, the last a bit personal if you ask us and 12 A340 Professional Just Flight moodily lit screenshots below.

C-130 HERCULES

Perhaps the greatest transport aircraft in history, the C-130 Hercules is brought to life by the experts in high quality flight simulation aircraft - Captain Simulations. The C-130 Hercules is painstakingly reproduced for FS2002/2004 in high detail with accurate animations of the cargo ramp doors and flight surfaces. The 2D and 3D virtual cockpit capture the intricacies of flying this giant.

Provided in 11 air force liveries depicting the E, H and K variants the detail and accuracy is up to the usual high Captain Sims standard.

Also provided is detailed airbase scenery of RAF Lyneham, home of the UK's Royal Air Force Hercules fleet and a set of remote airstrips and flight plans enabling you to experience flying on some of the more obscure Hercules operations.

C-130 Hercules is officially licensed by Lockheed-Martin and Royal Air Force
