FSX Steam Edition: Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight™ Add-On
With the CH-46 Sea Knight®, Boeing achieved the perfect balance between a multiple purpose utility helicopter, and a “combat” helicopter.With the CH-46, the USMC and USN have achieved a major milestone in the evolution of helicopter rotary power.
Developed after years of years of research and time, the CH-46 is a medium lift twin-engine helicopter, capable of flying in and out of hot, sandy beach landing areas, as well as taking off and landing from short, wide runways.The CH-46 combines a proven industry-leading cabin architecture with a high degree of flexibility and versatility. No other single helicopter has these features:• A 400 gallon fuel tank with 4,500 lbs of usable fuel • An external load handling capability of nine pallets including payload of up to 2,000 lbs • A swept-wing design that provides a low drag, high lift coefficient • A rugged armor and armor-plated fuselage and rotor system that protects crew and passengers. The CH-46 is a major-refer and/or world military helicopter. With twin turboshaft engines, the CH-46 has proven to be one of the most robust and reliable helicopters in the fleet. The CH-46s have logged more than 60,000 hours and their excellent performance history include hundreds of successful missions in multiple missions.
The CH-46E is used by the US Navy for anti-submarine warfare. This model comes with the following improvements compared to the standard CH-46E model:• Swept-wing innovation with tail rotor operational in the wings (wing tip engines)• Two HARM weapons stations, with one HARM pod in the port wing and the other in the starboard wing• New separate mission kit with launchers for HARM and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, launchers for the Hellfire PGL, launchers for GBU-12 Paveway II and GBU-24 Paveway III, and ESSM• Improved A-4B engine to allow a 400 hp generator• Improved ASW rockets to improve the A-4B against submarines• A modified nose and landing lights for better night missions• New navigation and approach systems to better operate from helidecks• New FAO-26 aircraft radar• Bug spall to prevent engine oil spill on the ground
The CH-46E is also used by the US Navy for Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missions. This model comes with the following improvements compared
The Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight™ is a medium-lift tandem rotor transport helicopter powered by twin turboshaft aircraft engines. It was first introduced in 1964 as a dual rotor utility medium lift helicopter. Over 600 airframes were built, serving mainly with the USMC and USN. Export versions were sold to Sweden, Japan and Canada, and these variants differ as they have larger balloon floats. 
Civilian versions have been operated by both New York airways and PAN-AM.Features

Engine: The FSX engine is now capable of running smaller engines at low throttle in certain cases. Attempts to create the small engines from the outside provided "FSX Engine Pack v1.0", a solution for the in-game engine speed.The FSX custom engine resources are now available to all users. This gives the possibility to work on the engine independently of an official development from Microsoft. The engine resources are available at the following URL: The download also contains the engine model without any changes, the custom engine pack, the flightgear environment and some other tools. To get started, just open the zip file and extract the contents to a common FSX installation folder. From there, it's a very simple procedure to recreate the checked out add-on. For a detailed description of the content, please see the readme.check list BEFORE starting a new flight! The cockpit and the engines create very high temperatures, which may cause a CPU overheat. It can be avoided by reducing the ambient temperature (press the up arrow several times in the FSX menu) and by reducing the engine speed. The throttle setting can also be reduced.The back-up battery is for backup only. It is not meant for keeping the aircraft on the ground. It can be used to keep the aircraft in an emergency situation to prevent a crash. It is not possible to use the back-up battery when a fuel dump is running. To prevent crashes when the fuel dump is running, it is recommended to use the back-up battery on the ground after each fuel dump. During the fuel dump, the aircraft can also be placed in autorotation and stopped on the ground in a controlled way. Check the procedure document for this in the readme file. The fuel dump procedure is not available in the FSX Steam Edition. The FSX Add-on now contains more than 830 sounds. According to the list of free sounds, this amounts to almost 1,200 sounds. No sounds are missing, and the missing sounds can also be heard in the cockpit.For a more detailed information about the Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight cockpit, please see the features list and the cockpit manual. The FSX add-on is recommended for experienced users only. This add-on contains a lot of features and may make it difficult to fly in a very safe way. It may in certain instances cause the aircraft to stall or experience other "issues". In extreme situations, an
