Hi, Folks!, Today we're showing off another quick set of previews for the Saab 340A, and along with it we are announcing something we feel is quite exciting! In addition to all the liveries you have p

The day SASL is put into the DC-3 or the MU 2 is the day I quit developing add ons.

SASL is a tool for developers...I am a developer.  What do I have against SASL? Not aggressively developed anymore, Philipp patches it as needed. Very limited feature set compared to the x-plane SDK N

We're considering several turboprop options after the Citation, and the 1900D is definitely near the top of the list.

Nice looking plane but that nose gear...

Just throwin' this out there but if you made a PC-12NG that looks as nice as this Saab, I personally think it'd sell *better* than a B1900D.

1900s have wayyyy more ratings than the PC-12 so there for 1900D would be a best seller

This is truly great, AnOther update! Looks great. Just bought a 2gb graphics laptop specifically so i could have better graphics. And this plane looks like it will run perfectly on that lapop. You guys are truly amazing. Keep up the good work!

The Embraer-120 would be nice, too. There's already some fairly good [freeware] 1900s for X-Plane, but nobody's made an EMB120 yet that I have seen... Then again, isn't the EMB120 in the same market segment as the Saab 340A?

This looks interesting:

There are several virtual airlines that fly the EMB-120, including Air Northwest.  Not sure who the original author is/was.

"Fairly good" just doesn't cut it anymore imo, although I concede that for some it's a personal choice.

On the higher end, X-Plane is moving into the realm of hi-fidelity systems and graphics ... the days of pandering to those who won't (or can't) upgrade their hardware are dead and buried. A decent bells and whistles flight-sim will require a bit of investment.

We all make our own decisions to balance out the ratio between the hardware we're willing to spend on, likewise the software and the effort to maximise life of hardware. :)

ERJ-120 or EMB-120? The latter is a turboprop, not a turbofan. Many VAs including mine fly the EMB-120 (www.flywestwind.com) and it's still a fairly popular regional turboprop. As for the days of people who won't or can't upgrade being dead and buried.. I'm not so sure; We still have a LOT of pilots at WestWind who still fly on FS2004/FS9 due to hardware/budget constraints.

Oops.  I meant EMB 120.  

(See what happens when working without caffeine?)

We're on the fence about it because we can get all the information on it, but a slight downside is that it is quite similar to a Saab 340 with regards to systems.

Maybe, there's room for collaboration with Cekko on the EMB-120 and separate development on the B190.   :)

 

Here's hoping that the SF34 is released on 04072013, if not sooner.

Assuming that blob of numbers is a date: 4/7/13, it has already happened unless you mean 7/4/13.

We don't like giving out release dates, purely because there can be many unknown variables. 

(Fixing 1 thing which can break 5 others)

All I can safely say is we are rapidly approaching external testing.

Does an ERJ-120 even exist?

I'm really happy someone as talented as you guys finally decided to make a great turboprop !

 

And it will run flawlessly on my brand new machine, will really enjoy X-Plane 10 at it's full potential

I hope this one doesn't share the same fate as the 757 :(

Since we have not "announced" a day, month, or even a year as to when this will be released, suffering the same fate as the 757 would not be possible.  :D
