  1. xplane supports per aircraft profiles. make sure you created a saab profile and do not assign any lever to mixture under it. Or do i am missing something here? This should prevent your issue entirely.
  2. you may want to try datareftool plugin, it is free and will tell what dataref changes realtime. So you run datareftool, move the lighting knobs and see what changes. I am not at the sim for the day, otherwise i would be happy to investigate it for you. Maybe at night if you didn't get it get yet
  3. the aircraft has a scavenge jet pump that drains the little remaining fuel on the center tanks to main tank 1 so all fuel in the center tank is used. On the classic series 737-300, the scavenge jet pump activates manually by the pilot when you turn off the center tank fuel pump, and it works for 20 minutes, transfer rate is very low. On the 737-NG the process is automatic, when the center tank is low and the main tanks reaches half their capacity, the scavenge pump activates and drains remaining fuel to main tank 1, process runs for the rest of the flight.
  4. for this aircraft map any key or joystick button of your liking to 'sim/engines/TOGA_power'
  5. i do not own xprealistic but have seen it supports to customize master volume on a per aircraft basis, double check there too
  6. any script or plugin that may be interfering?
  7. you may adjust the sound sliders on the ixeg preferences left side menu also check your xplane master, interior & exterior sliders on the xplane sounds tab hope this helps
  8. you may consider this app (igodispatch for the saab340). Paid, but worth every penny. http://www.igoapp.ca/igodispatch/igodispatch/igodispatch_saab340a.html
  9. use the passenger seat belt switch on the overhead panel
  10. This is an assingment problem or a corrupt assignment file 1. You may delete the file /xplane 11/output/preferences/x-plane joystick settings.prf or 2. You may attach here the same file (there is an attachment option down here on the post edit) for us to verify how axis were assigned edit: the video has really poor quality but i can see your joystick has several hardware modules, verify on the top pickdown no other module has an axis also assigned to throttle
  11. it seems windows defender (or similar) is still running on the background. if you are windows make sure you go to windows defender configuration and set a folder (not file) exemption for the entire /xplane 11/ root folder, this should cure the problem Otheriwse please try going to taskbar and see what process is killing the cpu
  12. CTOT works ok make sure: 1. you engaged both switches and also rotated the knob to desired torque (it engages by 64%, but do not exceed minus 15-20% of selected torque) 2. double check you are not overshooting the CLs MAX position, which is not the end of the travel T/M, it is a detent before. Otherwise the aircraft will have no torque. note: i am XP11.20, can not test under xp10.x hope this helps
  13. The SAAB340 is a pretty different beast to anything else i have flown, real life and on the sim. These engineers had their own logics when it comes to avionics. This is one of the reasons i like this aircraft so much. Give it some time you will certainly love it. Pretty awesome simulation. The sim can be really challenging to any aircraft to operate any system that is not in the forward's camera field of view. Rotating the camera while on the critical phases of flight, takeoff, initial climb, final approach and landing is a real issue. You should consider -if budget permits- incorporating a few minimal external hardware. 1. A saitek radio panel. This works to the SAAB and any aircraft on xplane, tunning the radios, comms with your finger tips while not moving the camera around is pretty usefull, specially if flying online 2. An MCP (i do use goflight 737), while this is not for the SAAB certainly, i do use it for both COURSE rotaries and display, heading select and displays, altitude select and display, VS select and display and i have also mapped some MCP button modes. Pretty usefull as well. Happy flying
  14. yes, this is a small known issue, folder is not created automatically during install. Just create manually a sub-folder named 'coroutes' under the IXEG737 root folder and you are good to go
  15. any saitek hardware? it will interfere electricity if not properly mapped.
  16. As per all of your other issues, did you dissengage the CTOT switches after takeoff?
  17. This aircraft as most regional & jetliners requires a double push for A/P disconnect, one push to disconnect and an aural warning will kick in just in case you did it by accident, a second push will clear the alarm. Map any button or key of your liking to 'LES/CMD/CW/button/AP_disconnect'
  18. scroll wheel zoom is optional. Go to plugins -> gizmo -> windows -> look to the bottom for SAAB340 user preferences or something like that. Enable zoom checkbox hope this helps
  19. The ILS antenna produces 2 lobes, one to each side of the centerline being overlapped at the centerline. Left side of the centerline is modulated at 90Hz while right side of the centerline is modulated to 150hz. By the received signals the aircraft known being flying on the right, needs to go left, or being flying on the left zone needs to go right. When both signals equals it knows being on the centerline. Course selector is to capture and to know to which track to align initially (course is not available on the signal) so how the aircraft will know to turn to or away from the runway? Also course selector is useful to refine A/P movements because it has a target to compare when the signal says right or left? yes but how far? On modern avionics, course comes from the navdatabase automatically, but on the classic pilot needs to manipulate the course selector. Hope this clarifies. Captain Jan can surely dig further on this.
  20. I do not see anything wrong here. 1. Xplane map is NORTH oriented by default (user selectable), so north heading 000 is top above and you are heading 142 degree which will be the aircraft pointing to the bottom right as shown on the map. 000 270 090 180 *(140 should point here aprox) 2. I can not see the FMC on the picture, but you are flying LNAV and i would think the course is set for 132 degree aprox, but because you are having a 107 knots massive crosswind coming from the right as seen on the ND, the A/P is commanding a heading of 142 to counteract wind drift derive and stay over desired LNAV trajectory. Hope this helps
  21. I would suggest if possible implementing a -detent clank sound- for all the different detents for both THROTTLE and CLs thus you can move your hardware lever and know when you reached the desired detent (a bit of detent nullzone is already implemented). This would be really useful and easy to track lever movement without looking at the pedestal that can be an issue with the aircraft rolling Hope this helps
  22. Really nice, will purchase to better represent my beloved Argentinian Patagonia snowy place at winter
