206L3 for MSFS

Seven-seat light turbine

$32.99

Overview

About the 206L3

The 206L3 is the stretched, seven-seat member of the 206 family, with room in the back for passengers or a medical crew. Our version for Microsoft Flight Simulator has a medical cabin option, a G3X Touch glass cockpit option and the CowanSim SAS autopilot.

Fit a spray kit, spotlight, Cineflex camera or skid mirror, fly it on floats, take the front and rear doors off, and choose G530, G430, GTN, G3X Touch or analog panels. It works with the PMS GTN and TDS GTNXi on PC.

Flying it in MSFS 2024

It’s made for MSFS 2020 and runs in 2024. Starting cold and dark in 2024? Press Shift + C on PC, or LB + B on Xbox, to get into the cockpit. You can change options on the EFB tablet, though a few things may still overlap. A native MSFS 2024 version is planned.

Using the PMS GTN 650/750?

It needs the CowanSim PMS package in your Community folder as well as the PMS50 GTN itself. The package comes in the download, and the newest one is always on GTN Packages. GTN Packages
