CESSNA CENTURION T210 (EC-EFG)
for Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2000
This package represents a Cessna T210 Turbo Centurion from 1985 for use with Microsoft®
Flight Simulator 2000 (FS2000). The features are a highly realistic aircraft model with
moving parts, photo realistic interior views, and a highly functional panel with custom
instrumentation.
The main goal of this project was to make an aircraft as realistic as possible within the limits
of FS2000. To obtain this in all parts of this package original pictures and original
documentation was used. Several documents in pdf format in the Doc folder and the
checklists are based on these original manuals.

where FSDIR is your FS2000 directory.
Features:
The aircraft model is based on a real Cessna Turbo Centurion, it includes retractable landing
gear, rotating wheels, steerable frontwheel animated control surfaces, spinning propeller. The
exterior and interior is highly detailed and textured.
The interior views and the panel bitmaps are based on original photographs of this aircraft
with some adaptions to resemble the used instrumentation.
The instruments are costum made for this aircraft and show as much functionalety as it is
possible within the limits of FS2000. For instrument documentation check the Doc folder, a
short introduction to the avionics instruments can be found in README_AVIONICS.htm.
The aircraft dynamics are accurate within the limits of FS2000, see also the checklists
