My second release of modifications to this excellent freeware model. This reflects, to the best of my limited abilities, a brand-new turbocharged Stationair. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good representation of the Garmin G1000 avionics that ship as standard equipment in the 2007 model. But, I tried hard to make the paint look good, and I modified the performance a little to reflect published specs with the turbo.
Textures are DXT3 with a custom alpha channel and no mipmaps for a sharp look and a few shiny spots. This release was also made with the help of my lovely wife and is her debut as an aircraft painter.

Dave Athay's notes:
This is an outstanding model and I've had a lot of fun flying and repainting it. I've included a layered (REALLY!) .PSD file so you can easily change the registration to whatever you want.
Features:
-Excellent 2D and 3D panels and virtual cabin.
-Pilot's door and "clamshell" cabin doors- Shift + E then 1
-Engine Compartment- Shift + E, then 2
-Sun visor- Tailhook
-Pilot's window- /
-Lights, switches, and all the other goodies.
Changes I've made:
-Edited some gauges in the panel file so they show up the same in the 2D and 3D cockpits.
-Edited the aircraft.cfg file to reflect correct weights and fuel capacity. Flight tuning was also modified so the aircraft performs more closely to published specifications (see enclosed file). Specifically, I tested the aircraft for takeoff ground run and cruise TAS/fuel burn. She should get off the ground in about 1,000 ft. (flaps 10 deg.) and true out at about 140 on 16.5 gallons per hour.
