UH-60 Black Hawk Cargo Series

The Legendary UH-60 Black Hawk Cargo Series — The V2.2 Major Performance Update!

ONE OF THE MOST ACCURATE AND DETAILED MODELS IN THE GAME, AND EACH MODEL HAS ITS OWN DETAILS

Explore carefully developed cockpits and cabins, distinctive liveries, aircraft-specific equipment, and coordinated rotor, door, and lighting animations. From everyday transport to executive travel and demanding freight routes, a Black Hawk is ready for the mission.

As a personal tribute to my home country, Canada, the Cargo edition proudly features the custom CH-60 Kingfisher. This fictional Canadian variant combines a striking red-and-white livery with rescue-inspired equipment and an animated water belly tank—a special addition for fellow Canadians bringing the Black Hawk to their own maps.

• The U.S. Coast Guard MH-60T Jayhawk replaced the ROCAF S-70C-1 Bluehawk in the Passenger lineup. I also retired the UH-60 Yanshuf (Owl), and the United Nations Black Hawk joined the Cargo lineup. I had trouble finding accurate textures and livery references for the Bluehawk and Yanshuf, so I made the difficult decision to leave them out of Version 2.0. I appreciate hearing from fans who miss them, and I may bring them back if I can do their markings justice.
