Patches for P-3, C-130, and E-2/C-2 Bubbas

I've heard those 6-bladed ones on the Hercs are money. Don't they automatically feather? I heard one start up once and actually sounded really cool.

Yeh they are pretty awesome and they definately have a noticeable noice to them. They do autofeather but it depends on certain criteria. I can get into more scenarios then are worth talking about on this forum. Basically when you want them to feather, they will and when you want them to windmill to power the hydraulic system they will do that as well.

The NP2K will feather if it feels like it, the trons align and the plane likes you today.

If it hates you, you get a "general prop fault" light and you are fucked.

And yes, the E-2Cs have the 427, E-2Ds have the -427A and the C-2s have the -425

I have -425's and NP2K. For the COD community, so far we like it. We did get a more mature (and tested) version then the E-2. But with just getting it in the last 2ish years in the community and only 36 planes in the fleet, the E-2 guys have much more NP2K experience.

Now no one can bitch about the awesome that is CNS/ATM.

It's awesome to learn all the gnarly stuff you can do with it. Then after you get the hang of it and know what you're doing, you realize that the system must have been designed by some nerd in a cubicle who's never seen the inside of a cockpit and certainly never heard the word "user-friendly." Submenus for submenus to get to stuff you need RIGHT NOW.

Don't the E-2's have the -427's?

Back in 91 we still ran -425's.

I've met the nerd and worked with him a couple times; I've tried to give him some advice but it never took hold. CNS/ATM isn't install friendly either.

It could only be worse if they used and iPad clickwheel as the input source. It's a badass system with a terrible user interface. Get 99% of what you need done completed on the ground and maybe it won't fuck you. maybe.
