This custom repaint showcases the iconic Bell UH-1D, known widely as the “Huey,” in the colors of Transporthubschrauberregiment 30 based in Niederstetten, Germany. It has been meticulously created for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Acceleration users, requiring the payware Nemeth Designs Bell UH-1H model. Developed by B. Lechner, these textures replicate key German Army markings and design elements, delivering a truly immersive rotorcraft experience.

Historical & Operational Notes

The Bell UH-1 family has served numerous air arms worldwide, including the German forces. Transporthubschrauberregiment 30 (often abbreviated as THR 30) relies on UH-1 variants for troop transport, logistical supply, and medical evacuation. This repaint highlights the unique exterior scheme used on real-world THR 30 operations, bringing the recognizable German military livery into the simulated environment.

Unique Visual Details

This repaint set focuses on precise color matching and accurate insignia placement. Each fuselage marking has been optimized for clarity and authenticity. The textures capture the distinctive hue of the German Army helicopter fleet, including the rotor mast region's nuanced shading and the helipad-friendly design layout. The final result is designed to complement the turbine whine and rotor blur that the Bell UH-1 is famous for in flight simulators.

Application Requirements

Before installing this repaint, ensure you have acquired the Nemeth Designs Bell UH-1H payware model, as it serves as the required platform for these textures. Additionally, a complete installation of Microsoft Flight Simulator X with the Acceleration expansion is recommended for full compatibility.

Installation Process

  1. Extract the downloaded zip archive to a temporary location on your computer.
  2. Move the entire texture.THR-30 folder to the following directory: SIMOBJECTS/ROTORCRAFT/ND_UH1H.
  3. Open the aircraft.cfg file in the ND_UH1H folder and scroll down to the existing set of [fltsim] entries. Add the block of text below, ensuring you replace [fltsim.XX] with the correct sequential number:
[fltsim.XX]
title= BELL UH-1H HUEY - THR 30
sim= bell_uh1

atc_id=
ui_manufacturer= BELL
ui_type= UH-1D
ui_variation= THR 30
ui_typerole="Rotorcraft"

  1. Save the changes to aircraft.cfg and launch the simulator. The “THR 30” repaint should now be ready to fly.
