Phantom_A320 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hello, I recently bought the Saab 340 and had some questions. So far this airplane is awesome. I really enjoy the systems depth and overall quality of the product. However, I have some issues with engine operation. At idle (ground idle) the engine surges. They kind of pulse while sitting at idle and the speed increases and drops a fairly significant amount. Enough to be very noticeable. They are also extremely touchy. You barely move the throttle and you instantly have prop overspeed/over torque then it rapidly falls to where you’d expect it to go. This happens a few times during application of takeoff power. After doing a bit of research I’ve discovered the airplane was an older plane that received updates to be compatible with xplane 11. It also appears there are some known engine issues but I couldn’t find much details on the exact issues. Are these issues I describe known? And is there an update planned with fixes to the engine modeling?? Its a great plane overall and look forward to flying it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom_A320 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Excellent! It’s really one of the better large turboprops I’ve tried out for the sim. I’ve got a couple thousand hours (real world) in an EMB-120. This is the closest we have in xplane so I’m enjoying it thoroughly so far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
