From Wellington to "Palmy" North in the 206. A nice evening cruise. :)

Gotta love Carenados C206!

I also bought the full pack and love ther cargo model, great shots showing it off CN!

I noticed you did not put the seats down though, did you know that if you click on the co pilot's seat in VC mode, the back swaps to cargo instead of empty seats?

By the way, for strange, strange some reason, more C206 keeps banking to the right- I have no idea why :angry:

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to play around with it a bit now that I've done the test flight. About the banking, I'm glad I'm not the only one having the problem. I thought it may have been something to do with crossfeeding the tanks to even it up but was still getting that bank. Does any know if this is a real world characteristic for the 206 or is it something else that can be tweaked in the cfg. It banks regardless of how well the aircraft is balanced during loading. Apart from that it is a great GA for that low and slow feeling.

I thought I was the only person having the problem!

I have spent weeks re-installing my simulator and all addons on different computers and still have the problem!

Carenado were not helpful at all, I don't recommend asking them for advice via their support link on the official website.

I have no idea while my plane banks right all the time. I have reset the default flight, changed my realism settings to easy, turned off wind and turbulence effects, yet I still have the problem, and when ever I want to fly in a straight line I have to hold CTRL+H... :angry:

Great shots, that C206 certainly proves it's worth in this forum.

I fixed it :o

All I did was look around my VC for a gauge or switch that wasn't centred and I found this one:

Yes, it is the fuel selector vaulve handle! I changed it to this position below , and bingo! it works like a beaut! I just enjoyed my first normal flight in the Stationair in months :D

Now I thought the Stationair only had one tank- but I don't really care now because I am flying in style again :P :P :P

Great to see you have it sorted Trolly, just for your info most light plans have at least 2 fuel tanks, one in each wing. In Piper aircraft you can usually only select one tank at a time, but Cessna's usually have the option to select both tanks at once :)

Ahh, that would be why they are called "wet wings" I guess. Thanks for the info Muppet ;)
