FSX Policia Nacional de Colombia Bell 212

This custom repaint brings the Policia Nacional de Colombia’s Bell 212 to Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Bernhard Lechner, this freeware texture set depicts a twin-engine Bell 212 serving in Colombian law enforcement. It does not include the original payware Cera Sim model, so dedicated helicopter enthusiasts must own that base package before installing this repaint.

Notable Technical Points For Enthusiasts

The Bell 212, sometimes known as the “Twin Two-Twelve,” is a medium-lift helicopter equipped with two turboshaft engines and a two-blade main rotor configuration. This design is favored by numerous agencies worldwide due to its robust performance during airborne patrols and law enforcement operations. Policia Nacional de Colombia employs the Bell 212 for diverse missions, including surveillance, personnel transport, and specialized responses in high-altitude regions.

Payware Model Requirement

This repaint relies on the Cera Bell 212 FSX/SP2 payware release. Before installing, confirm you have the original Cera Sim aircraft folder located in your simulation directory. This add-on strictly contains the texture files and references the core helicopter systems of the payware product. To purchase the base helicopter model, it can be found in specialized flight sim stores such as SimShack.
