Would be it possible to edit this in plane maker?

It would definitely not be something you could do in Plane Maker.

Only way to know if it's Zink is to disable it and see if the problem goes away then.

Hi Cameron, thanks for your reply.

I did test and verify it's from Zink. Disabling it reduced my fps from 40 to 25 though. I did figure out the flickering is triggered when I close the auto start window. But if I leave that open (and off the side of the screen) it's fine. I'll try doing a manual start and see if that avoids the issue all together. 

It might be something with the latest beta as it broke the dialog boxes for World Traffic too. The ones for the Saab work but maybe there's something similar conflict going on.

Cheers

Can confirm it's to do with the dialog windows. The camera preset one started it too. If I open that window back then the flickering stops as long as it's open again. Once it's closed then the flickering starts. I also noticed the window itself was flickering at one point too.

I found a workaround. I opened the stats window from the sidebar. I then clicked the button to make it into a normal window and then minimized it. That hides it from view and stops the HSI from flickering. Instead the sidebar now flickers when I hover over it but that's fine.

For me, the Saab works basicly fine. the only struggle i have is the bank roll limitation. for some reason with AP on it rolls in both mode HDG and NAV about 2-3°, not more. 

Could that be changed with planemaker?

If you have Flywithlua installed you can fix the bank roll limit by creating a lua script with the following content:

if (AIRCRAFT_FILENAME == "LES_Saab_340A.acf" or 
    AIRCRAFT_FILENAME == "LES_Saab_340A_Cargo.acf" or 
    AIRCRAFT_FILENAME == "LES_Saab_340A_AEW.acf") then

    function les_bank_fixer()
        dataref("SBankLimit","sim/cockpit2/autopilot/bank_angles_values","writable")
            SBankLimit = 27.0
    end


    do_often("les_bank_fixer()")
end
