FSX Cessna U206G Stationair Float N245IP

This repaint adds a crisp N245IP livery to the amphibious variant of the payware Cessna U206G Stationair created by Carenado. It installs into Microsoft Flight Simulator X and brings a realistic finish to an already capable floatplane. The texture set comes from Sean Doran, who aimed for an authentic look that showcases the utility of this six-seat single-engine aircraft.

Overview

The real-world Cessna 206 family is well-known for its short takeoff capabilities and bush-flying versatility. With floats attached, it transitions easily into a water-ready amphibian that can serve isolated areas. This repaint matches those robust features by delivering a high-fidelity color scheme, which amplifies the Stationair’s role as a go-to solution for adventure flights. These textures replicate subtle wear details, enhancing immersion in aquatic operations.

Installation Steps

• Place the included texture folder inside the "Carenado Cessna 206 Float" directory in your simulator’s aircraft folder.
• Locate the aircraft.CFG file and insert the block shown below, adjusting [fltsim.x] to the next available index.
• Copy missing texture files from any existing texture directory in the "Carenado Cessna 206 Float" folder. Do not overwrite the three new textures provided in this repaint.
