It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: All manipulators have been remodeled. Most manipulators have new manipulator logic implemented. Torque Max lockout no longer too easy to go into TM lockout with manipulator - especially on approach. Bank angle under autopilot control now restored to be unrestricted. Throttle display graphics were not aligned with throttles/each other. TOGA mode was not working according to real world ops. Engaging TOGA now announces FMA mode (GA in both lateral and vertical FMA). Second press silences the disconnect warning. IAS mode. In some cases, IAS mode would not capture selected speed. STDBY TO/FROM indicator changes when selecting CRS 2. Adjusting the VHF nav source tuned on NAV 2 would affect the standby nav indicator. FMA continuous flashing fixed. IAS Speed Bug. EADI now sync’s to mechanical IAS speed bug while on the ground. Trim and flap extension speeds adjusted. Added control deflection ratio to nosewheel steering. Fixed animation of entry stairs. Manipulator and animation for steering tiller fixed. Control surface animations adjusted. Added ability to map a single axis to “Prop” for control of both condition levers via a common manipulator. Added aircraft “state reset” on exit. Fine-tuned deflection time on control surfaces. Added logic to sync the CRS1 dial and the VOR dial. Added custom autopilot constraints and removed artificial stability properties. Changed angle of roll in yokes from 45° to 75°. Corrected rudder pedals animation and added toe brakes. Added PBR to all glass. Altitude Selector now reading in increments of 100 feet. Adjusted logic for setting X-Plane autopilot altitude. Added logic to prevent door from opening in flight or releasing parking brake while door is open. Changed logic on CWP oil pressure warning to eliminate N1 parameter. Fixed erroneous config alert when aircraft is not powered. Adjusted aircraft friction coefficient. Logic changed for avionics switches. Fixed formatting of AIRAC info as per file spec for G530. Nav 1 frequency selector logic fixed for NAV 1 pop-up. Added logic to include new X-Plane datarefs for radio audio volume and changed logic for setting audio listening selection. Converted airfoils to latest format. Newly textured annunciators with PBR and spill lights. New detent manipulators added to Condition Levers. Now physically need to lift the levers and push them forward. New logic added for Condition Levers. Added a common manipulator to condition levers for mouse control of both manipulators. Fixed radio panel/weather radar textures on center console. Added new logic to all switch guards on overhead and center console. Updated air conditioning temp selector switch logic. Fixed engine anti ice manipulators. Lighting rheostat bug fixed. Airspeed test button logic fixed. Changed RMI selector logic and manipulators. Fixed error in Autopilot logic. Artificial Horizon fixed Flight number tumblers animation fixed. Improved logic for Autopilot and Yaw Damper. Improved logic for Fire handles. Heading/Slave function enabled. NAV 2 frequency fixed. Adjustment made to ITT values. ADF2 MEM/XFR switch logic. CTOT parameters adjusted. Constant Speed pitch change speed adjusted. Bleed valve reset logic changed. Fuel cross-feed logic adjusted. Decision Height logic fixed. Ignitor switch logic fixed. Engine torque fixed as a result of CTOT fix. Added hash marks to rudder trim texture. Fixed animations to temp select switches. First Officer Decision Height logic fixed. APA flag animation changed. Audio Panel functionality improved. Changed GPS CDI to auto set OBS. Fixed Prop Pump logic. Heading Sync on AHARS alignment adjusted. ADF1 GUI MEM logic improved. Fixed bug when landing (engines and generators shut down). Fixed Flap indicator textures on center console. Added logic for altimeter test. Adjusted Gear Handle textures. Changed Anti-Skid Switch to default to “ON” Fixed standby pitot logic (on/OFF reversed) Changed power source of Torque Gauges Corrected course value bug (indicating negative) Fixed faulty CONFIG warning @ max CL position Changed gust lock PL restriction parameters Fixed LIT assignment on cabin pressure fault light Corrected nose wheel steering logic Removed scroll zoom user pref Fixed FO DSP selector knob restrictions Corrected ignition switch/guard interaction logic Updated artificial horizon cage knob logic Adde sim command interaction for IAS Knob Wiper animation speed to park adjusted Changed Gust Lock Release to be detented Updated temp control logic (manual mode not implemented at this time) LIN/ANG display logic fixed ADF default function position set to “ADF” Changed default pressurization mode to “AUTO” Adjusted COM1 bus power logic As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Downloaded the plugin above and, it does not work on my ipad, i get the following error when trying too click on the plus sign next departure airport. "No connection with server" "Error connecting with X-Plane. Error 61: The operation couldn't be completed. Connection refused." Am on the same network as the PC is on, i now i got internet on the ipad, since i can browse the web on it with no connection issues. EDIT: the current version of the plugin i got is attached below. EDIT 2: turns out the IP address was wrong, works now!

Ben - Thank you. That did fix the problem. Enjoyed the S340A before this latest update and now it just grate!

EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHT MODEL: We suggest you do not use the EFM. We never know when Austin will add new things to the EFM, which may cause issues. Therefore, it is our recommendation that you do not use the EFM and only use the current stable release of X-Plane. That being said, you are free to experiment and try it as you wish. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOSE WHEEL STEERING: There seems to be some confusion on how this is implemented. We have provided two (2) options (selectable in user preferences). 1) Use Tiller Checked (ON) - This allows you to use the in-cockpit tiller (manipulator) to steer. 2) Use Tiller Unchecked (OFF) - This allows for mouse/hardware steering. In addition... steering is only available when the following criteria are met: • On the ground (WOW) • Hydraulic PSI >= 1500 • Aircraft is moving • Tiller is engaged (depressed) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HDG/SLAVE BUTTON:. This was incorrectly modeled in previous versions of the Saab. It is not meant to "sync" the A/P bug with the aircraft heading. The actual functionality is as follows : "The system contains a quick heading slave function, which by means of a push button, slaves the magnetic heading related to present flux detector readout." Since X-Plane now accurately simulates gyroscopic drift and flux_detector errors, that functionality is now modeled correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
