This fictional repaint of the MH-47G "Chinook" integrates a distinct CVN-76 livery for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by the developer from Area 51 Simulations using the official paint kit, this add-on requires the payware MH-47G model from Area 51 Simulations. Users will need to purchase that base product separately. This custom texture pays homage to an aircraft carrier setting while remaining purely imaginary, and it is designed to fit seamlessly within complex rotorcraft operations.
Key Focal Points of the CVN-76 Painting
Functional Chinook Model: The Boeing MH-47 design is renowned for its twin-rotor structure and robust cargo-carrying capabilities. With this repaint, enthusiasts can immerse themselves in a naval-inspired environment.
High-Fidelity Textures: All exteriors feature detailed markings, exhibiting a Marine or Naval theme paired with unique registration numbers. The developer leveraged the original paint kit to maintain texture clarity.
Distinctive Livery Theme: This scheme is labeled “USS R. Reagan,” referencing the CVN-76 aircraft carrier. While not an officially licensed scheme, it enhances immersion by evoking carrier-based operations.

Steps for Installing the New Livery
- Extract the contents of the downloaded archive for convenience.
- Place the texture.USS_R_REAGAN folder into the following directory:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Area51Sim MH-47 - Open the aircraft.cfg file in that directory and insert the block of text below (substitute [fltsim.XX] with the next available number) after any existing repaint entries:
[fltsim.XX] title= MH-47 -- US NAVY - USS RONALD REAGAN -- sim= MH-47 model= panel= sound= texture= USS_R_REAGAN kb_checklists= kb_reference= prop_anim_ratio=1.76 atc_id= CVN-76 atc_model= MH-47 ui_manufacturer= Area51 ui_type="MH-47" ui_variation="USS R.REAGAN" atc_heavy= CVN-76 atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0 visual_damage=0 atc_parking_types=MIL_CARGO atc_id_color=0x00000000
Remarks on Usage
This repaint contributes an additional dimension to any Chinook rotary-wing simulation routine, especially for aviation fans who enjoy both special operations aircraft and naval themes. Although it doesn’t represent an official scheme, it complements advanced rotorcraft flight profiles in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
Please note, the core MH-47G Chinook payware product by Area 51 Simulations is necessary for proper functionality, and the paint kit was carefully used to preserve the model’s structural accuracy.
All appreciation goes to the authors at Area 51 Simulations for their detailed MH-47G model and paint kit. Enjoy exploring this unique texture set showcasing a CVN-76 concept!
