    MSFS 2024 Native Package

    Sept. 01, 2025 - You can download either the original 2020 version or the new 2024-native version. There are some minor differences.

    In this Package:

    This addon package comes with three flyable aircraft: 
    Standard Tires T206H Stationair -15" nosewheel and 17" mainwheels. 

    Tundra Tires T206H Stationair - Same flight model but with 22" nosewheel and 25.5" mainwheels. This variant also has the more detailed ground handling configuration. 

    Standard Tires with fairings T206H Stationair (2024 only)
    15" faired nosewheel and 17" faired mainwheels. 

    Amphibious T206H Stationair - 3450 size floats add an additional 532 lbs (241 kg) for an empty weight of 2,708 lbs (1,228 kg). There are two liveries available, in red or blue.

    More livery designs and colors will be available in future versions. A paint kit will also be released in a future update to allow anyone to make mods.

    Features

    This package features several special features:

    • Pilot and Copilot models will appear automatically in exterior view if their payload weight is more than 80 lbs.
    • No camera barriers, you can move the cockpit camera anywhere
    • Pilot's door can be opened via the lever or by the tablet interface
    • Rear doors can be opened by first operating the lever in the forward door and then operating the lever on the edge of the aft door. These doors can also be opened/closed via the tablet.
    • Windows can be opened by their latches or via the tablet
    • Cowl flaps are operable via the lever in the virtual cockpit or using the hardware axis for spoilers.
    • Four vents in the forward part of the cockpit can be opened via mouse.
    • Sun visors can be moved down and slid left and right via mouse dragging
    • Belly-mounted cargo pod can be enabled via the tablet
    • Belly pod door can be opened with the tablet or clicking the door (if you move the cockpit camera outside)
    • Rear seats can be removed via the tablet
    • Cargo can be loaded via the tablet. To load the center and aft cargo, the seat must be removed first. You can set whatever weight you want for the cargo and/or passengers
    • Glove box can be opened using the latch
    • Instrument views. Close up of different parts of the panel. Plus some "GoPro" camera views. You can switch through the instrument views with the keybinds (default is ctrl + 0-9)
    • Overhead flood lights with dimmer controls and swivel.
    • Tundra tire variant uses SU15 ground handling.
    Takeoff

    Takeoff Performance:
    Ground Roll: 910 ft (277.37 m)
    50 ft. obstacle: 1740 ft (530.41 m)

    Normal takeoffs should not require flaps. Trim up a bit, more if the CG is forward. Cowl flaps closed. Prop and mixture in, full throttle. Manifold pressure should be kept at 39 in. Hg max. There is a limiter to the throttle to keep the MAP from going too much higher than that. It should begin to lift around 70 knots. When it picks up some speed it will climb easily at 1,000 fpm. 

    Cruise

    As you level off, reduce the propeller to around 2,300 RPM and reduce the throttle to below 30 inches of MAP. Trim up the aircraft for level flight. 

    You can reduce the mixture to improve economy. Monitor the fuel flow gauge as you lean the mixture. You should be able to reduce the flow rate by at least 5 gal per hour without any reduction of engine performance.

    If you want to lean to the most efficient condition, monitor the TIT temperature to find the peak. 

    This is not the fastest G.A. cruiser out there so expect around 120 kts (222 km/h).


    Landing

    Landing Performance:
    Ground Roll: 735 ft (224.03 m)
    50 ft. obstacle: 1395 ft (425.51 m)

    Your decent and landing should be smooth and uneventful by slowing down and keeping the nose level. Maintain around 10 inches of manifold pressure to keep the engine happy. 

    When your speed is below the white arc and weather conditions permit, lower the first stage of flaps. At this point, you can fly a controlled pattern and as slow as you want. 

    The landing is typically a bit nose high. You can use the landing view to improve the view of the runway or look to the sides.

    Garmin GPS magenta needle wont move or line up with the G5. Only the LOC or ILS green needles work but not the GPS. Bummer Also, if you load in the air, you must have the fuel pump on or it will cut off.

    Having a failure where I cannot get full RPM. Engine warm, engine stress levels cleared, everything set normally, won't go above about 2350 even at max MP. Ideas?

    Well, even stranger. The tundra and amphib work normally. The standard gear is the only one I get the RPM issue on.

    Fantastic job with this one, Looks great even at night. Fly's beautifully and sounds great.
    Can you please check to see why i can't get my copilot to be visible. I tried
    to load in using the EFB mass and balance with no luck

    I have the same problem, copilot never shows up. Not sure why. Doesn't matter where or how I load weight they are gone.

    Nice aircraft but in MSFS 2024 the taxi lights are useless (they are pointing up) and the PMS GTN750 is not in WTT mode. And the overhead lights can't be turned on. Would be nice if you could fix this.

    hello.

    Could you make the plane reach 160 knots cruising like in real life?

    Hello, on the SU5 in FS2024, the Generator is Not loading when you start from Cold and Dark or if you shut down the Engine and restart it afterwards ending in BAT failure some minutes after starting up. Could you update the Model to correct this ?
    Thanks and best regards

    Hello!

    I'm loving flying with the T206H!

    As someone with 700 hours in real T206s I think some engine data is off.
    Currently, at cruise at 28 Inches I have to keep my cowl flaps completely open to keep cylinder heads under 400 CHT. Additionally, I can not reduce the RPMS below 2400, or at least what's reflected on the gauge. In theory, you should be able to cruise along at anything below 30 inches, and below 2400 RPM all day long with the cowls shut. I have T206 POH cruise tables I can provide
    EDIT: This is in MS2024
    Thanks! Its a really good rendition otherwise

    Agreed. Engine configuration is the only weak point with this otherwise great addon.

    Hi Thanks for the airplane!
    A point and a request:
    1. I notice in your aircraft.cfg you list the plane as a turboprop. It probably doesn't matter, though maybe it might be used a search term, but it's a (turbocharged) Piston, as far as the ICAO is concerned, and the plane, too... The plane certainly doesn't think it's a turboprop ;)
    2. I noticed in your 2024 native version: Is there anything you can do about the surfaces of the instrument panel so the pilot's red light can light it up at night when starting up cold and dark? It's impossible to start at night because there's no way to see the instrument panel and its buttons.

    Just a heads up, the VOR navigation does not work. It wanders quite a ways off the established radials and course doesn't match the airway radial information.
