FSX OEAMTC-Flugrettung Bell 412

This freeware repaint for the Bell 412 depicts an imagined OEAMTC (Österreichischer Automobil-, Motorrad- und Touringclub) rescue helicopter operating in Austria. It references a non-existent Bell airframes fleet, since OEAMTC flies different rotorcraft variants in reality. This package offers only the textures to apply over the payware Cera Sim model, which you may obtain separately from a store such as SimShack.

Distinctive Austrian Air Ambulance Markings

In real-world usage, OEAMTC is recognized for conducting rapid-response medical airlifts and other vital rescue missions throughout Austria. However, the actual organization employs a different rotorcraft portfolio instead of the Bell 412. This fictional livery was created by Bernhard Lechner, enabling virtual aviators to simulate OEAMTC-style rescue operations using Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The bright and bold color scheme stands out for easy identification of its life-saving intent.

Bell 412 for Simulated Emergency Services

The Bell 412, commonly found in advanced search and rescue operations worldwide, features a twin-engine setup and a reliable four-blade rotor system. This repaint channels an Austrian medical theme, although, as noted, OEAMTC does not use Bell platforms in its fleet. Regardless, it offers a highly detailed exterior finish that immerses flight simulation enthusiasts in Austrian rescue scenarios.
