Blackbird Simulations has released version 1.0.0 of its C-130J “Dirty 30” for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, marking the end of its extended early access phase.
Since its initial launch in 2025, the aircraft has seen steady updates, with this latest version bringing a broad range of refinements across systems, avionics, and overall functionality. Multiplayer support has been enhanced, with improved synchronisation of aircraft states and better interaction with other users.
The avionics suite has received notable attention, including updates to flight management behaviour, navigation handling, and performance calculations. Various systems, such as fuel, radar, and terrain awareness, have also been improved, aiming to deliver a more complete and reliable experience.
Known for its complexity, the C-130J features a detailed systems depth, including advanced navigation, radar capabilities, and multiple operational configurations.
With version 1.0.0 now available, the aircraft moves into full release, following a long and iterative development cycle. You can also buy it now for $39.99 USD.
