FSX Red/White Cessna 414 Chancellor

This freeware repaint merges a classic red and white color layout with the Premier Aircraft Design (P.A.D.) Cessna 414A Chancellor model, delivering fresh aesthetics for FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator X) pilots. The P.A.D. development team crafted the original 414A package, and this particular texture set is expertly designed by Tom Tiedman. Enthusiasts seeking a pressurized and turbocharged twin-engine aircraft will find this livery visually appealing and technically accurate.

Distinctive Exterior Appearance

The repaint highlights a vivid red fuselage section complemented by crisp white accents, blending modern style with a timeless aviation vibe. Subtle panel lines and rivet details remain visible for added realism, ideal for capturing satisfying external views during pre-flight checks or fly-by camera angles. Intricate shading enhances the Cessna's sleek form, reflecting the robust design that has made the 414 series popular worldwide.
