MH-47G Chinook For FSX - Fly Away Simulation

This fictional livery offers an imaginative take on the MH-47G, originally crafted by Area 51 Simulations. It integrates naval-inspired details while utilizing the official paint kit released with the payware rotorcraft model. Created by its developer to bring a fresh theme to your virtual hangar, this repaint requires the commercial product from Area 51 Simulations to function properly in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Key Attributes of the Naval-Inspired Texture

Military Roots: The MH-47G is a specialized modification of the well-known Boeing CH-47 Chinook, a twin-engine, tandem-rotor platform designed for heavy lifting. It stands out for its exceptional cargo capacity and robust capabilities in challenging environments.

Custom Details: This repaint incorporates a USS Enterprise-themed element, adding a unique naval flavor. The developer has utilized the official paint kit with a creative approach, yielding interesting details that reflect an imagined fleet deployment role.

Payware Compatibility: Because this livery uses the Area 51 Simulations base model, you must have purchased that product beforehand. Installing this texture without the core aircraft will render it unusable, so ensure you already own the required payware.

Preparing Your Sim Directory

1. Extract the downloaded archive to reveal the texture folder named texture.USS_ENTERPRISE.
2. Locate your installation directory for the Area51Sim MH-47, typically found in: Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Area51Sim MH-47
3. Copy or move the texture.USS_ENTERPRISE folder into the aircraft’s main directory mentioned above.
4. Open the aircraft.cfg file, then paste the following snippet after the previous [fltsim.X] entries. Increment the “XX” value to the next available number.

[fltsim.XX] title= MH-47 -- US NAVY - USS ENTERPRISE -- sim= MH-47 model= panel= sound= texture= USS_ENTERPRISE kb_checklists= kb_reference= prop_anim_ratio=1.76 atc_id= CVN-65 atc_model= MH-47 ui_manufacturer= Area51 ui_type="MH-47" ui_variation="USS ENTERPRISE" atc_heavy= CVN-65 atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0 visual_damage=0 atc_parking_types=MIL_CARGO atc_id_color=0x00000000

Enhanced Realism and Special Features

By introducing this naval-themed repaint, the developer highlights how versatile this rotorcraft can be in your simulation sessions. The strong performance of the Chinook in real-world operations is seamlessly carried over, allowing virtual pilots to engage in diverse missions like troop transport or heavy load transfers, all while enjoying a distinctive texture.

The fictional touches bring out a unique scenario for anyone seeking new visuals in their copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator X. From a technical standpoint, the added color scheme and insignias do not alter the flight model, so you can still enjoy accurate dynamics while piloting this proven heavy-lift design.
