Mi-17 Hip

Mi-17 Hip

The Mil Mi-8MT, exported as the Mi-17: the Soviet-designed medium transport helicopter and the most built helicopter in history, flying since 1977 with dozens of air forces and civil operators. It sits between the base game's H225 and Chinook 234. This mod adds it in five liveries, all grouped under a single entry in the depot.

Five liveries

• Workhorse: a heavy utility Mi-17 with a black lower band, black and white hazard stripes on the tail and the registration N1708H. Use the in-game colour picker to paint the body and landing gear any colour you like.
• Digital Camo: a pixelated urban digital camouflage in four greys, with dark grey landing gear.
• Regional Airline: a passenger shuttle in white over a navy lower body, with a gold pinstripe, a navy and gold fin and the registration N172RA.
• Air Transport: a civilian people and goods carrier in white, with a lime and navy checkered band along the cabin windows, a lime tail and AIR TRANSPORT titles on the boom.
• Soviet Air Force: the classic tan and green camouflage over a light blue underside, with red stars and the yellow tactical number 37.

Every livery carries the same load and has the same performance, so you can pick the look you like.
