a very good video to watch is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXPj-FfK71c
such a beautiful aircraft, i recently learnt how to transfer the fuel, shutting off tanks to do it and balancing the tanks out.

Just bought it instead of arcadish C-130 of CS. Made a 6h flight, overall nicely done (fuel system, sound) BUT again emerged my main issue with these halfstudy planes (crj, c-160, a320neo etc) - boring boring time between climb and descent… No failures and stress make this planes actiones practically sleepy, in dc-6 or Duke or comanche there is as always something to think about, something to fix, something to prevent… C-160 is just cruising.

That’s how real aircraft work, the failures and the “always something to think about” are as arcadish as the CS C-130. In the Dukes and Comanche if you have a proper power setting there is nothing to think about while cruising, just monitoring the instruments as in any other plane including the C-160.
We need a Blackbird or a U2 to make the cruising really interesting, there you have always something to think about for real.

real aircraft are not perfect machines… and this imperfection is a MUST element of study level plane for me.
Did you turn the failures ON ?
AzurpolyC-160 does bird droppings all over the CS c-130 its so much better and it has a working flight computer. I flew it from YBBN Brisbane Australia to KSFO San fran recently in a 22 hour flight. I was curious to see how far i could go. I had some fuel left over so their fuel calculations are not correct, I notified them.
Loved the DC-6. With all the vids by PMDG really taught me things and made me a better pilot.
Its why i loved the DC-6 Yes always something to do, modern AP Airliners are a snooze fest.
Also to note Maxuss, blackbird simulations has a C-130 which i looked at in development and its far better than the Captain Sim version which are all the same cockpit wise with small variations. I dont have 2024 yet but I imagine the Blackbird c130 has a digital cockpit, something that the CS version does not. Check that out 
Xbox fs2020 here, default failures are broken on consoles since I rember 
They are triggered instantly at startup. Only custom failure systems work here (Pmdg, a2a, BS…
I doubt D30 will come to consoles according to blackbird statement…
