FSX Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight Update

Boeing’s CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter arrives as a refreshed, complete package with updated gauges for both the virtual cockpit and 2D panel, bringing the classic tandem-rotor transport into sharper focus. Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration, it preserves the familiar flight model and includes required effects for a more immersive rotorcraft experience.

Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight Update. This is an update for FSX Acceleration of the CH46 SEA Knight by Rory Kelly. The author has changed the gauges in the virtual and 2D cockpits, otherwise it is the update done for it for FS2004. This is the whole aircraft. By Bob Chicilo.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. Copy the helicopter to the simobjects\rotorcraft folder. Copy the effects to the main FS effects folder. No need to overwrite if already there.

There is a problem with the rotors that I do not know how to fix. They cast solid shadows on the ground; and hide, not the ground or water, but objects on either one. If anyone knows how to fix this, many would be happy if you upload the fix. No need to contact me about it.

Anyone: You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions: One, you don't try to make money with them. Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
