Midwest Medflight

BK117 livery A-4 CN 7054 Midwest Medflight - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM

Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117.
Simply unzip the file "CN 7054 Midwest" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder.

This is the livery of N8765J c/n 7054, based out of St Joseph Mercy Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Owned and operated by PHI. I am not sure if this is the current livery, or if it's been replaced by N911TL.

Many thanks to Chip for the Bird logo.

Use with the Radome version if you want cutters displayed as shown. Radome is disabled.
New tail rotor colours and textures.

Nicola,

If that is well and truly "it," then hearty thanks are in order. Your liveries for, and tweaks to, the BK-117 have been both excellent and thoughtful. Thanks for enriching my X-P experience, and for making my helicopters folder a nicer place to visit.

Thanks Sixgun

I'm not sure if that is "it" but I'm certainly taking a break, how long for I don't know.

Each time I load up xplane I come away from it feeling depressed. Depressed that there are so few good aircraft with 3D cockpits - but an awful lot of dross - and depressed that the number of blank, empty airfields still vastly outnumber those that've been made. For example, there are only about 2-5% of the UK airfields to use in xplane.(I just can't get my head around WED or Blender, so the last day of trawling the tutorials with the intention of making my local airfield was a waste.)

Meaning that's why I've spent so long making liveries and so little time in xplane, which isn't supposed to be that way round.

I'm just praying XP10 will reignite my interest in xp, with LOTS of airports with scenery, instead of empty runways left blank for the handful of devs there are to populate with buildings.

Just going to take a couple of weeks out from doing stuff for xplane, and see how I get on. I know I'm itching to keep creating BK liveries.

Two new liveries for the BK117 - the Nightingale Sentara. Sentara's air ambulance Nightingale, a 1986 BK117-A4, named for Florence Nightingale, began in late-February 1982 as the region's first air ambulance and the 38th air medical program in the country. Based at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, Nightingale serves a 125-mile radius, flying as far north as Washington, D.C. as far south as Ocrcoke Island, east to the Eastern Shore and west to Charlottesville, Va.

The OLD livery for the Nightingale Sentara BK

Updated 29Oct11 1615GMT - there are now the old Sentara logos on the engine cowlings (shown here) which were missed off. Sorry.

Having a bad day?

Lots of great payware helis out and coming out for x-plane. This sim is really starting to take off. The aircraft list is even more impressive, as are the scenery and aircraft developer names from FSX that are dipping toes.

This is the livery of 7504 D-HECA, a 1993 C-1. It had this same livery when it was re-registered D-HOTZ and used in SAR, before being painted white and registered I-BKBS in 2003.
Its last registration showed it as G-RESC, one of the East Anglian Air Ambulance fleet. However in February 2011 Sterling Aviation were unable to continue leasing 7504 and another BK117 to EAAA so the contract ceased.
7504 is currently for sale in Ohio http://www.aviationb...comp_id=141512.
(Bond Air Services have since offered EAAA two Bo-105s instead until they take delivery of one EC135 P2 in December 2011 and an EC135 T2e in July 2012. In December 2013 they will take on an EC145 T2, thus returning to the BK117 lineage).

hmmmmm Nicola, I really do share some concerns about XP10. But imho it is too early to judge and everything still "is open". I think the impression that it's "all about scenery" mostly comes from all the discussions now evolving with MSFS users on Avsim and Co., because they - used to OrbX stuff - really have a high focus on this issue. Let's not forget there are some more features: major improvements in the wheather enging, new AI/ATC, some new planes, some old but polished planes.

This is just a basic copy of the G-Jive livery for Brett's Hughes 500D in red, but done with a bit more detail, as the original was a screen photo.
This one has been redone from scratch in photoshop. Hopefully a bit more detail.

Just place the folder "Red Jive" into xplane/aircraft/helicopters/Hughes 500D/liveries.

EDIT: 2325hrs GMT 10Nov11, corrected nose panel, which was too bright.

EDIT: 2017hrs GMT 11Nov11 amended folder to include missing paint file.
