This livery was made some years ago and was never published before. Looking for a non military Nordic livery for the SAAB 340 Cargo, I found some image of a nice SAAB 340 who belonged to the Lithuanian cargo company Nordic Solutions. A simple logo, quite effective … I hope you enjoy this livery. I took the screenshots at the Estonian capitals airport Tallinn and around Europe in X-Plane 10. The livery is useable in X-Plane 11. Expand the archive and move it to the livery folder of your LES Saab 340 Cargo variant. Safe flights!

This is a mod to fix a lot of manipulators that are otherwise unusable in VR with the touch controllers in the Leading Edge Simulations Saab 340A Version 1.5 for XP11. Manipulators that have been tweaked to work in VR are: Tweak Log: Rudimentary Pilot and Copilot teleport hotspots! (WIP) GPS Knobs, inner/outer Sun Shades, slide on rail and lower/raise All Light Intensity Rheostats Autopilot Altitude Selector Dial Com 1 and 2 Function Selector and Frequency knobs, inner and outer Nav 1 and 2 Function Selector and Frequency knobs, inner and outer ADF 2 and 2 Function Selector and Frequency knobs, inner and outer Transponder Function Selector and Frequency knobs CRS 1 dial CRS 2 dial HDG dial OBS Knobs IAS Bug knobs Altimeter baro pressure knobs Overhead DC Selector knob Flight Number Digit Wheels have been tuned for functionality Parking Brake orientation corrected (was previously reversed, now a push toward the floor pushes the knob down) Steering Tiller orientation corrected (was previously reversed, now a push toward the floor pushes the knob down) DCP Select knob tweaked Decision Height Knob rotation and push in/out tweaked (was previously reversed) And many, many other dials, knobs, and switches... These changes make the aircraft fully flyable using touch controllers in VR! With the exception the yoke. Known bugs or issues: - Some manipulators are a bit fiddly/touchy/sensitive, but at least they work correctly. **most fixed in 1.1 - CRS 1 knob seems to have two grab points, and one doesn't work. If you grab the CRS 1 and it doesn't turn, aim more for the base of the knob instead of the top of the knob. You can also grab the obs knob next to the CRT screen, it works beautifully. - Switches that should "snap" back to center, such as starter switch, bleeds, trims, V/S wheel, etc...they do not snap back to center using the VR controllers. I believe there is some custom "onmouserelease" gizmo code going on there, and the VR controllers aren't seen by gizmo as a "mouse". Fortunately the VR mouse works just fine, so I map the vr mouse to a button on my yoke and turn it on when I need to adjust trims. Everything else is still usable with the VR controllers. When you reset the bleeds it will stay in the reset position, but I've found that it's fine to leave it there. Same thing with the starter switch, it will just stay in the position of the engine you just started, but doesn't make a difference. If you want to snap it back to center, just use the VR mouse for now. I also map the vvi up and vvi down to buttons on my yoke so i don't have to use the V/S wheel when climbing/ascending using V/S mode. - Some custom mouse wheel code in 2d gets broken while using the VR mod, so if you are going to fly her in 2d you may want to revert back to the old .obj files. - gust lock only works using VR mouse. Again, I believe it's dependent on some custom gizmo mouse code. Disclaimer: This is not an officially supported LES update, so don't expect support from them on it. If you need help you can always ask me or just put your old .obj files back in your folders. If you lose the old files and just want to reset everything just reinstall the aircraft. Installation Instructions: Download the SaabVR-obj-v22.zip file (this is the latest version) Back up your LES_Saab_340_cockpit.obj from your Passenger Variant folder, your LES_Saab_340a_Cargo_cockpit.obj from your Cargo Variant folder, and your LES_Saab_340a_AEW_cockpit.obj from your Airborne Variant folder. Unzip the file, you'll find 3 folders, one for each Saab variant (passenger, cargo, airborne). Inside each folder you'll find a ***variant.txt file and a ***vrconfig file. Step 1: The ***vrconfig files just go in your Saab's corresponding aircraft variant folders. Easy. Step 2. You will need a text editor for this next part, I recommend notepad++ (free). The text inside these ***variant.txt files are intended to replace the current corresponding text in the obj files. Open the ***variant.txt file and copy all the text. Open the matching .obj file from you Saab's variant folder in your text editor. Search/find (or edit/find) for the world "TRIS". Highlight that line and all remaining text in the obj (shift click at the bottom of the file to do this quickly) and paste. Save the obj. (Not save-as, don't give it another name). Enjoy! **What's New in Version 2** This is a fairly major update. Along with the obj text modifications you'll now get vr_config.txt files to put in your aircraft variant folders as well. Changed a lot of axis manipulated knobs to their correct manipulation, getting rid of the "sliding up and down the colored line" effect. Also changed the sensitivity of countless dials and switches for a much better experience. Also added teleport hotspots to the pilot and copilot seat (sort of...it's a work in progress, but it works. The blue hotspot indicator that you're probably used to is currently a hoop about where the head of the pilot would be, but it works). All the manipulators that are still bound to color-line axis's can not be fixed because they are custom-code dependent (I think), and I've not found a way to fix them. They work as is, just have to deal with the axis slide.

The upload Saga continues This is the Boeing 767-300 with GE CF6-80C engines and a large cargo door at the front. This plane doesn't has one livery, the ANA pokemon jet JA8288. Inside the package, there is a manual, THIS MANUAL IS VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU SHOULD READ IT FOR FLYING. Since this is a -300 non ER, please ignore the weight specs and the highest efficiency flying pages, as they are for the -300ER. Features: Ground servicing stairs (activated by sliders) detailed and accurate animations, including special steering, canting gears and dynamic wingflex Dynamic lighting, activated by switches Custom sounds by Jerry Ng Detailed exterior model by Hiroshi Igami Normal mapping by Peter Tram flight model by Michael Chang, tested by a boeing pilot The plane also comes with a 2d panel that SHOULD be pretty easy to follow. The manual also details how the plane should be flown. Liveries for this aircraft should be shown to me first, and the file must specify which model of aircraft it is for (A, B, AL, BL, AWL, BWL) if you are unsure, please feel free to ask. Credits: Michael Chang: Animations, flight model Hiroshi Igami: exterior model, guidance Peter Tram: texture work and normal maps Jerry Ng: sounds Philip Foglar: original base textures, some liveries in other aircrafts NO MODIFICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE AIRCRAFT IS ALLOWED UNLESS ALL OF THE ABOVE PEOPLE GIVE WRITTEN CONSENT OF SUCH ACTIONS. ALSO, PLEASE BE SURE TO TURN OF THE YAW DAMPER IN FLIGHT OR ELSE YOUR PLANE WILL HAVE AN EPILEPTIC SEIZURE. IF I FIND THAT YOU DISTRIBUTE THIS PLANE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION I WILL SNEAK INTO YOUR HOUSE AT NIGHT AND SHAVE OFF ALL YOUR HAIR AND EYEBROWS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY STEALING YOUR HARD DRIVE. Also, we're working on some special liveries for the next few 767s, get ready for awesomeness, here's what to expect: 767-300ER Air Canada free spirit frosted and black Enjoy the flight!
