Dear Developer,

Dear SAAB fan, and livery-maker

Thank You very much for Your Saab 340A. It is realy the wunderfull model.

But it would even better if the airborn version (SAAB 340 Erieye) would have the appropriate cabin with three operator seats, electrical cabinets and operator consoles.

It would be great to have this version. It can be an official payware addon or three part product (only interior), but - it must be

It must be for SAAB fans that want simulate the military version of the aircraft.

Can i hope, that the Erieye interior will be made some time from somebody. I personaly, for example, would buy it as separatly addon to high price.

While I agree it would be cool, we've discovered a lesson during this products lifetime. We thought variants would be an effective way to give people good variety, and that there would be many who use all, but the truth is only about 2% of Saab 340A customers use the cargo or AEW variant. Because of this, going into the future we've agreed not to do multiple variants on new products.

So with that said, while it would be fun, the demand necessary to generate the revenue and pay back the cost of development for this is simply not there.

This worries me. In my opinion, variation is one thing that can help make a plane great. I know that a lot of people use the cargo variant. I agree on not modeling a completely new interior for the AEW variant, as I don't know anyone who uses that, but I really hope that y'all choose to continue making variants of your aircraft. Also, does this mean that there will never be a Saab 340B?

Making a plane great and making money FOR making the plane great are two different things. This is a business first and foremost. People have families and lives, and these things must be taken into account when dedicating resources to projects.

Dear Cameron,

With AEW it's Your position clear. Thank You.

To not make a new topic i ask hear my questions about Datarefs / Custom commands.

I can not find custom command for the props sinchronization switch. But it has very inconvenient position for Cap

How can i assign it on some knob or switch on my Saitek Rhino throttle device?

Second question is about datarefs / custom commands for baro settings - baro std / baro neg / baro ps

What of commands can i assign to knobs to control this datarefs?

Thank You

Ye, realy i need all commands to open the main door and to close it

I wonna make via Python two combined commands for open and close (with animation of stair) for two knobs

one for open (command group), another - for close (command group)

My reason is start from cold and dark from appron (with Ground Handling deluxe from Jar) and not from cabin with closed doors

It's for videos )))

Thank Yoy

Also, it works with 3 commands

It is impossible to do this operations parallel, only serial

====================

[SAAB Maindoor lock]
new_command=maindoor_lock
main_command=LES/CMD/door/entry_door_lock

[SAAB Maindoor Handle]
new_command=maindoor_handle
main_command=LES/CMD/door/entry_door_handle, LES/CMD/cabin_attendant_seat

[SAAB Maindoor open]
new_command=maindoor_open
main_command=LES/CMD/door/entry_door

 

=====================

Now I need the commands (two) for stair:

1. stair fold

2. stair slide

Or exists only datarefs for stair?

========================

I have problem with cargo door, the handle of that door is inoperativ at me. It's a bug?

Please help me

Thank You!

Actually, you can open the cargo door  from the outside, you just need to be in 3D cockpit mode.

Thank You, Gantlemans

With seen from appron I call van with crew (Ground Handling Deluxe Jar), than I open the main door, and put down the stire (with seen from appron)

Than I give power to the craft (batteries, external power...etc...----> with seen on overhad from cockpit + Gizmo SAAB-GH (look around) menu)

Than I call the Neoplan with Pax'es from Ground Handling Deluxe (Jar)

Cargo Door close and lock, Main door stair (two commands= two buttons) back, main door close (3 commands - 4 commands/buttons with command for attendant seat),

Than ---> according chek list )))
