FSX "HTG 64 Luftwaffe" Bell UH-1D

Elevate your rotary-wing collection with this repaint showcasing the “HTG 64 Luftwaffe” markings on a Bell UH-1D. Created by B. Lechner and designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X + Acceleration, this texture set pays tribute to the German Hubschraubertransportgeschwader 64. It requires the payware Bell UH-1H model from Nemeth Designs & MILVIZ—not included here—as a base installation.

Distinctive Appearance Inspired by German Service

The Bell UH-1 family, often nicknamed the “Huey,” has an extensive history of utility roles within multiple forces worldwide. In the context of the German Air Force, units like the Hubschraubertransportgeschwader 64 operated the UH-1D for vital tasks such as personnel transport and search-and-rescue. This repaint meticulously reproduces the Luftwaffe livery, adding a realistic touch to your flight deck experience.

Repaint Development Notes

This exterior repaint incorporates accurate unit markings, including insignia and callouts typical of German military rotorcraft. Subtle variations in the external texture ensure an authentic metallic appearance, while the camouflage elements reflect the operational look of the UH-1D. Close inspection reveals nuanced wear consistent with active-duty service.
