james

ps. from the sites i have searched, there doesn't seem to be one, however if there is anyone interested, then could someone possibly repaint a similar aircraft in the Air Grand Canyon colours?

Well, there is the 206 from fsfrance I believe, but not a Turbo Stationair.

Saying that, how about Brett Henderson's Cessna 210 Centurion? It's basically a turbocharged 206 but has retracting gear. :)

If it's only a 206 with a turbocharged engine, then you can download a 206 and turbocharge it yourself!

It's very easy to do, and lots of fun to fiddle around with. :D

I followed this little thread, when I turbo'd my Emeraude CP301 to the performance of a CAP10:

Two things-

Cspyro, The top text was a Robin DR.1 or whatever but I found it on avsim (cessna_206_ipaal.zip)

To get what would basically be a 207, James, download this 206 (or any other, this is best freeware I've seen) and under [piston_engine] in the aircraft.cfg you should see

turbocharged=0
max_design_mp=0.000000
min_design_mp=0.000000
critical_altitude=0.000000

Change these lines to:

turbocharged=1
max_design_mp=30.000000
min_design_mp=1.000000
critical_altitude=20000.000000

This should give you a good set up! ;D

A 207 is a completely different airplane.

Example:

All Cessna 172, 175, 180, 182, 185, 205, 206 and EARLY 210's (when they still had wing struts) use THE SAME WING. Newer ones have a slight change to the wingtips (piece of plastic) and/or the leading edge. However, with exception of a shorter or longer flap (note some flaps go all the way to the aileron), the wings will bolt right on each others aircraft, and perform THE SAME.

The 207 has a different wing, the fuselage is extended rearward, the nose is extended about a foot (hence the nose baggage on a 207), and has a different door setup.

It is unfortunate that the 207 has not been created, considering that the 207 logs more flight time in the state of Alaska than any other airplane. I see at least 40 take-offs and landings PER DAY of 207's here at Merrill Field in Anchorage. It would be nice if soembody did create it.

On major thing that has to be considered if it is made: Weight and Balance.

The 207 is the most overloaded airplane I have ever seen. I bet that 70% of all 207 flights in Alaska are at least 400 pounds over gross, and at least 4 to 6 inches aft CG. These planes are used, abused and flown the snot out of, and they keep on truckin'.

The 207 is NOT a 206, regardless of the 'Stationair' name.

I have been trying to find a Cessna 210 with a Rolls Royce TURBINE power plant but no one really was able to help me. I hear great things about these turbine 210's for use here in Montana for crossing the Rockies all the time. I have had five of these turbine engine 210's that are modified by this company come through KBIL on their way around here. I have found a way to "rig" the AirConfig file to put the engine from a Pilatus PC-12 in it and added the proper sounds but this is not the right engine and it still looks like a piston version. I have had to settle for putting a Lycoming TIGO-541 450hp piston engine which gives me good low altitude climb out (1400 ft per min) but after 8000ft or so it really drops mainfold pressure and I lose almost all verticle climb at about 11500 ft but I am going to due some more work on it now that I understand the Turbo a little better. The Silver Eagle is fully pressurised and is capable of 23000 ft but cruises around 16000 ft at 215 knots. Here are the specs.
