Bill the Sparker released a new version of his xsaitekpanels plugin yesterday. Among other things, version 2.43 includes revised ini file and FlyWithLua script specifically written for Saab-340A. The FlyWithLua script is needed to tune altitude, ADF, and IAS. Please refer to Bill's manual regarding installation of the script. Note that I mapped the REV button on multi-panel to CLIMB and IAS knob to the IAS dial bug. If you face any issues (especially with ADF), please let me know. Kudos to Bill! P.S. The title of the topic should be changed to "Saitek panels/gear work with Saab 340"!

Update 12/07/2015 Did a small footage about the startup procedure, taxi and takeoff. Showing how the annunciators works.

Ok, so you switch the fuel Valve back to "Run" and then rotate the starter switch for the engine on the Overhead to "Start". Check if your engine has enough air to be started. If not, you have to start the APU and use the APU bleed. You also need to be on an altitude that allows in-flight engine start, which is considerably lower than your cruising alt! The FL depends on the engine type. If you successfully restarted the engine, check if there is any fuel imbalance because of the missing consumer. If there is an imbalance, follow the "fuel balancing" checklist. And if you can't restart it, find the next adequate airport for an emergency landing!! Good luck!!

Wait until this becomes available to mach the amazing Jackson Hole scenery and HD Mesh v3 of the area WIP by Aerobridge Studios

What did I fly today? Nothin much, just an MD87. Sorry, couldn't help it. Taken at Mesa Airport in May. I look incredibly dorky in this shot because it was the first time I had been in a functional jet cockpit since I was about five and I was happier than ever. But in other news, in the X-Plane world: In other news, I went around East of Anchorage near Whittier and went over Nome in a nice short flight.

Secret Saab meeting

Got into the Stinson to screw around in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, since I'm heading there in two weeks. Finally got the new UHD... WOW. I also got my tablet hooked up as ASI and altimeter, I have two old joysticks on standby for when I'm at my dad's place for the workshop to build a nice cockpit panel. Suggestions for the mist important switches and whatnot? And I seriously screwed around when I decided to buzz the Colorado as long and low as possible.
