Freeware Aircraft Cessna T206H Released

The flight simulation community has a new addition - the freeware Cessna T206H, developed by sal1800. This mod offers a detailed virtual representation of the Cessna T206H Stationair for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The Cessna T206H, known for its versatility and reliability in general aviation, is powered by a Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A engine with 300 horsepower. It accommodates six passengers and has a useful load of 1,320 pounds (600 kilograms), suitable for various missions including bush trips and executive transport.

The freeware Cessna T206H released by sal1800 reflects extensive use of photographic references and insights from pilots and mechanics. The mod aims to provide a realistic experience, replicating flight dynamics and cockpit details accurately. This addon includes two configurations: a standard tire variant and a tundra tire variant. The tundra tire configuration, utilizing SU15 ground handling physics, is designed for rugged terrains.

The Cessna T206H comes with two livery options per configuration. The default steam gauge model features a red stripe motif, while the upgraded avionics variant has a blue stripe design. Future updates are expected to include more livery designs and colors. The addon also offers various interactive features, such as operable doors and windows, and a functional cargo system, enhancing the flight operations experience.

Future updates will include a paint kit for custom livery designs. There is also the potential for an amphibious variant. The freeware Cessna T206H is the result of collaboration, with significant contributions from bagolu, Birk, and beta testers who helped refine the mod.
