DCS: C-130J

Get ready to step into the cockpit of the DCS: C-130J, the latest model of the most versatile military transport aircraft ever built. The C-130J puts you in command of the world’s celebrated tactical transporter, renowned for delivering troops, tanks, supplies, and lifesaving relief to hostile and war torn places. From engine start to wheels-up, every switch and system has been painstakingly recreated to let you haul and airdrop exactly as real C-130J crews do. The “Herc” is perfect for threading mountain valleys at 250 feet, skimming wave tops to deploy infantry, or heaving a 22-ton “MOAB” out the back ramp. The C-130J turns every sortie into a mission of muscle, precision, and pure aviator grit. Rally your crew, climb aboard and fly this iconic heavyweight.
