AVSIM have recently reviewed the Saab 340A. Read the review here

Random slides out of my todays online flights. 14:20 zulu over Ukraine, just reached cruising FL340 "Orange four-one-three, Pulkovo tower, winds 290 at 7 gusting 13 meters per second, continue approach, number two" Following 737 to the apron as the aircraft on final is instructed to go around due traffic on the runway City of lights at Amsterdam Schiphol airport Gate E4

Hi all. I started using X-Plane about 6 months ago and did my basic introduction training on Cessna. Around a month ago I discovered LES SAAB 340A and fell in love. It was really what I was looking for: a perfect combination of more complex aircraft modeled accurately and realistic as possible but not too modern and automated where you feel more like a programmer than a pilot I have been enjoying it since and I often catch myself thinking on my commute from work where I will be flying next this evening. Although still a complete beginner I really enjoy learning through playing with the simulation since before that all I really knew about airplanes was that they fly and occasionally unintentionally fall from skies. Now I want to "master" it all. I do not use engine auto-start since I really love pushing those switches in right sequence and follow checklist items. I try to do my own fuel calculations. I fly real weather and check weather conditions... There are two things that are still bothering me. I tried to find answers for myself but I am unsuccessful so I hope someone here will be able to point me in the right direction. First - I am having trouble understanding 6 charts referring to V1, VR and V2 takeoff speeds (pages 32-37) in "charts" document that is part of the aircraft package. While I know what V1, VR and V2 mean. I cannot figure out when each of the chart should be used - under which conditions? Second - in the same "charts" document when discussing various speeds for various parts of flight (pages 26-29) in reference column there are references to AOM and AFM. I guess that AOM stands for Aircraft Operating Manual and AFM stand for Aircraft Flight Manual. Is it possible to obtain those two documents? Or are they already a part of manual package that came with aircraft model? Anyway as you can see not a critical issues at all. I enjoy the plane almost every day and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate developers on the superb job and to let them know that they have huge fans out there who are having trouble waiting for new plane releases and updates and are all about realism and details. Keep up the good work! Thanks, Allerbmu

Hi all, a new video, from the outback! Merry Christmas to all! ionfresko https://youtu.be/0wl1adK72EU

Did my first 767 flight today! From Dulles to London on United, as usual.

Yes, it is used to monitor all the pressure, temperature, and air flow values under various conditions while developing the bleed air system. This will not be part of the aircraft as delivered to customers. We just wanted to let you know what we were working and the depth of the simulation that we are creating.

Dear friends, We would like to thank you all for your support in 2015! In this year we were extremely happy to have our Manchester Airport published, and honoured by many reviewers as the Best Scenery for X-Plane in 2015! We will continue in 2016 with a stronger team and more passion to work on our current projects, Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport, and our DC-9 aircraft! We would like to wish to you and your families, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

If you have a good Nvidiacard (from GTX 660 I think) you can use Shadowplay from Nvidia. The best in terms of resources (uses a chip on the card itself), takes almost no hit. The sound is not that good though, but in general the quality is OK. Next in line for me is MSI Afterburner, better on all accounts, even though it takes a bit of resources. But the latest version is better on that account, and you can customize things alot. Fraps is also good, except that it takes far too much resources, up to like 50% in FPS. Try different ones, and see what fits. Good luck!

Thanks Vette, you and the others have been unbelievably helpful. You actually answered that question exactly how I was hoping. Didn't want a specific recommendation, just a general criteria. I am very grateful! Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

Wow guys thanks for all of the incredibly fast replies already! I'm ashamed to say that some of the things you are mentioning are already outside my scope of computer knowledge, but I am thankfully getting the impression that this system should be adequate for my needs. Please, feel free to continue offering any more insight, and I will continue researching anything I read here that I may not understand . Thanks again, wow, what a great community !

... And Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas, and do not stress anything. Please be calm. No worries here.

I thought of spending Christmas ixeg At least release date as a Christmas gift. But I understand that the family is in this period in the first place. I wish you merry Christmas and happy new year. I hope, that release will be soon. Martin.
