Cessna 206 departs early from Fiumicino on 34L to deliver urgent pasta supplies to the folks down south  ;)









Great plane, couple of gauges missing in the VC but easy to correct, flies well and has all-opening doors and engine cover.

Model by Guid

Rollerball quality...  8)

I found it at Flightsim.com, WSpilots...

Somewhere else too, but I can't remember where off the top of my head...

Great shots, especially the first and last one  8)

Pasta is definitely something needed by most urgently. Great looking plane, I was looking for a new "personal prop" since I re-installed, looks like this is a strong candidate. Thanks for the heads up Rollerball!

Yor pics always have a: "All is well" kinda feel to them..And they are always Crisp! Very Lovely!

I love the cessna 206! Never saw that repaint though... looks very realistic! As does Fiumicino, It's an awsome airport in real life too!

Keep up the great work RollerBall!

Isn't my home airport great?  Sweet shots Roller

Love that first shot!

Thanks guys - you're very generous as always with your compliments and I'm very grateful.

The more I fly it the more I realise this is not just a good model, it's a great one. Everything about it including the VC is excellent. The VC actually is one of the clearest I've ever come across.

About the missing gauges in the VC for anyone interested - as Jeff said, there are some other versions at Flightsim. Look for the one of Timair, Jamaica called timac206.zip and the gauge fix called Tim206.gau. You then have 2 choices - either swap the whole panel and gauges (including the fix) from it into your original I-PAAL 206 or do what I did. Open the fix with WinZip and just drop C206speed.CAB into your main FS2004 gauges folder. Then edit your I-PAAL panel cfg and for every line where you see gauge{nn}=C_206\XYZ..
knock out the C_206\ bit

eg

gauge00=C_206\C206speed!OACI,  41,41,50,50
becomes
gauge00=C206speed!OACI,  41,41,50,50

Then save your edited version (you might want to save your original as panel_bak.cfg or whatever before you start).

That seems to do it.

Thanks for your comments about the shots. I guess I just take what I like and I suppose they reflect my idea of what flying is about really. Mind you you can't go too far wrong when you start with a great model and great scenery which both of these are.

True excellence is almost always understated and IMO both the aircraft and the scenery come into that category

It is a REALLY nice model

Very nice shots!

If it wasn't for Pasta, wre would we be in this world?!?!

Great shots, very nice plane textures!!!!

Interesting thing about Pasta...the Chinese, Italians, and Arabs all claim to have invented noodles.

Recently, there was an archeological find where some millet noodles (4000 years old or so) were unearthed in China (swinging the arguement in the favor of China).

They turned to powder as soon as they were unearthed, but not before they snapped a shot.

There's a link to listen to it there too!

nice shots
