FSX Savannah C-MEGO

This repaint provides a distinctive fictional airshow style for the ICP Savannah, designed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It showcases vivid markings labeled C-MEGO, developed by Bob Azzaro as an add-on to Massimo Taccoli's ICP Savannah v3.8. The colorful scheme highlights the aircraft’s short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities and suspension features, reinforcing the Savannah’s reputation as a reliable ultralight with robust performance.

Airshow-Themed Texture and Origin

The ICP Savannah is widely recognized across Europe for its ease of handling, notable STOL performance, and predictable flight behavior. This particular repaint uses a fictional airshow concept under the registration code C-MEGO. It blends striking patterns with a custom color palette to represent a dynamic display aircraft, ideal for virtual aviation enthusiasts who enjoy simulated aerial demonstrations.

Developer Notes and Base Model Requirements

This repaint was crafted by Bob Azzaro exclusively for the freeware ICP Savannah v3.8 by Massimo Taccoli. It is configured to retain the aircraft’s fundamental design elements such as the distinct high-wing structure and spacious cabin, while transforming the exterior into a bold exhibition livery. Since this package is a repaint only, you must already own the complete ICP Savannah v3.8 base model, which can be found in the Fly Away Simulation mod library.

Adding the Texture Folder

To integrate the repaint into your simulator, place the new texture.C-MEGO folder inside:

• FSX\Simobjects\Airplanes\savannah38

This location consolidates all texture sets for the aircraft, ensuring straightforward selection during your next flight simulation session.

Editing the Aircraft Configuration

Open the aircraft.cfg file in the savannah38 folder. Copy everything from the code block below and paste it at the bottom of the existing entries. Ensure you replace X with the correct sequential number:
