An essential member of Cessna’s 205, 206, and 207 series of single-engine GA aircraft, the Stationair is used commercially in addition for personal flying. With a spacious cabin and rugged build, the CU206 when fitted out in different guises is used to carry out such tasks as observation and photography, sports and leisure activities and providing lifelines to remote areas. More than 8,000 of all variants were built up to 2006. The ‘U’ variants included in this add-on were designated ‘U’ for ‘Utility’ and feature a pair of clamshell doors at the starboard rear to allow loading of larger cargo.

Carenado’s Cessna CU206 Stationairfor FSX: Steam Edition is a detailed rendition of this aircraft which comes with three models (Normal, Amphibian and Cargo) and six paint schemes. Details include pitot pressure chamber, antennas, chocks, and pitot tube cover. In addition, this aircraft pack includes Custom panel and gauges including fuel computer gauge and autopilot with realistic day and night lighting effects.

Hi, cant find the altitude hold setting for the autopilot, I was wondering if it has one or will I have to play with the trims

Hi MR X. The autopilot will divert to a certain heading. It does not hold a given altitude. For that you will need to keep an eye on the trim.

There are several manuals included with the add-on. You can find them here

The panel guide details how the autopilot works.

We hope that helps, happy flying.

[Mister Michi]

thank you for the info, it really helped

The auto pilot in this aircraft is a single axis autopilot .. as is in the real aircraft. That means it only will hold the heading not both heading and altitude. Fortunately FSX give you a keyboard activated altitude hold : CTRL + Z to hold your present altitude. You cannot dial in an altitude ahead of time. CTRL +Z again will turn off the hold.

Not sure why but whenever I try to load the Cessna 206 I encounter an unexpected error and FSX Steam crashes. This doesn't happen with any of the other default or dlc aircraft I have.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the 206 DLC. Verifying game files integrity. Deleting the games cfg.

I still get a error/crash everytime I try to load this DLC.

Edit: Nevermind. I reinstalled the whole game and that seems to have fixed it.
