This is the release of v2.0 of the updated C-130 Firefighters. This pack houses updated models of the military and USFS MAFFS (Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System) installed in the aircraft. This pack houses a complete inventory of all 8 current (2026) USAF military equipped C-130s as well as several past iterations flown by the USFS and early C-130 variants equipped with the earlier Legacy MAFFS unit. The pack houses all 8 USAF aircraft currently flying with the MAFFS II system. The system easily identified as the large single nozzle that is positioned outside the left side paratrooper door. This pack houses this version of MAFFS and the Legacy MAFFS unit with twin nozzles mounted on the rear cargo ramp. All models also have the MAFFS internal tank modeled as well. The aircraft types represented in the pack are as follows; C-130J-30, C-130H, C-130H3, and HC-130H. All modern USAF MAFFS units operate the C-130H3, notably identified by the 8-bladed NP2000 propellers these are equipped with. The single exception is the 146th AW of the California Air National Guard, whom operate the C-130J-30. The HC-130H represents the brief time period that the USFS operated their own LATs. The C-130H models represent a time period prior to the H models equipped with MAFFS II being upgraded to NP2000 H3 models. And another H model with the Legacy MAFFS unit equipped as they would have been in the early 2000s prior to MAFFS II introduction in 2008. Model errors were corrected, new external mods also have been added to better represent the actual USAF equipped C-130s, MAFFS II nozzles were remodeled and custom sounds have been included for the C-130H3 and C-130J-30. This is only compatible with the stock P3D C-130s from P3DV4 or newer. It is NOT compatible with FSX or earlier versions of P3D. These are NOT the whole aircraft. You will need the stock files from you P3D C-130s to complete the aircraft to make them functional in your sim. The amount of aircraft model updates, HD repaints, PBR addition, and custom sound files account for the large file size. Aircraft updates by Nicholas Mitchell "Scorch00," USAF aircraft repaints by Nicholas Mitchell "Scorch00" and USFS repaints by community member "Delta."
