The Saab is a dual crew aircraft and you're operating it by yourself with a keyboard, mouse and other peripherals... there's only so much realism one can achieve lol. Oh, by the way, I highly recommend Pilot Edge - they've got a two week trial period...and it's a pretty FSE friendly service... a lot of guys combine their flying with FSE... PE it will add the ATC side to your realistic flying http://www.pilotedge.net/

I think there's a tutorial that explains what the preferred settings are... been a while since I've done it. I pretty much just put stuff in the green and call it good lol!

I'm famous!

We're a picky bunch hehe! But seriously, the plane is extremely well done... there's minor things I've found since 1.1 - I think all have been addressed with the latest release, and the QNH thing is pretty minor too.

The baro knob on the pilot's altimeter is very very slow to adjust. The standby and copilot is pretty fast. For me I just adjust the stby first because it's much faster and will auto change the pilots. Is this (the synced baro setting) by design though?

Should be able to get VOR2 though. So I guess you can tune the VOR1 to VOR2 and display the 2ND CRS.

1. Can't reproduce today... had reproduced it the same day... it's minor anyway 2. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the update... the manip change is a large help to me when I fly online. 1) I'm having a manipulator issue actually with both COMMs in the VC. The XFR switch doesn't seem to do anything. In the 2d popup mode it works fine. And the NAVs XFR works great in 2d and VC. 2) My left prop shows dead but it everything appears normal in flight and the lever seems normal too. Any ideas? I did do an autostart (hey, I'm rusty on the procedures hehe). But it seemed to drop when I pulled the levers back a little in flight. I also just noticed from my pic that I forgot prop sync in flight - maybe a factor? Oh, also I use Track IR - but I did zoom up real close to the switch and it didn't change anything.

I go weeks to months sometimes without touching the Saab. Half the time it's because the activation window always pops up. Why is it doing this? Should only have to activate once. Is there a bit of code that says "if user doesn't select aircraft check for reactivation?" grrr

This is what fixed it for me... Just right click your desktop and open nvidia control panel->manage 3D settings...

I've found the perf to be quite good actually already!

Thank you sir!

Excellent, take care!

I'll just make a direct comparison Pros: Super high quality ATC, Realistic routing/procedures, frequencies found on the real charts - so you'll call clearance for clearance, not the overlying ARTCC, staffed from 8am-11pm Pacific time Cons: Small area of operation... socal only with one exception - service at KSFO if going to socal, typically only 2-3 people working all positions... so to separate it from my above statement, you still use all the freqs you would in real life, but one physical person might work clearance, ground and tower - while someone else would work approach/dep and enroute... IE- you'll hear the same person sometimes along most of your flight. However in the real world you get a bit of that too - some sectors are combined with mult frequencies. And I don't think the cost is a con - it takes people to staff this sort of operation, but I think its 15-20 USD/month after your trial period expires.

Ditto Please - the Saab is an amazing addon but for online flight I find it truly difficult especially with the slow dialing of the freqs (and odd location - not that it's wrong, obviously it's realistic, but it's difficult and I use TIR). A radio stack would be super handy with this plane.

Hi, have fun while training too! Also I highly recommend taking a look at Pilot Edge.... would be beneficial during your training to get ATC while flying... there's a two week trial period it's pretty easy install for XP10... I actually use it with all three major sims. http://www.pilotedge.net/ Keith Smith is the founder and an avid XPer

You do not know how excited I am for this aircraft!!!! Bizjets..... YUMMY!

Thanks I guess there's a few paints...

Is there a main repository for repaints? I'm looking for some more private N numbered ones... Goran's is nice but I'd like to find some others.

The Wx radar works? Oh golly I'm too used to FSX hehe.... Do I have to be on ARC mode on the EHSI?

I don't think it's rotary..... unless I'm thinking of something else. I'm thinking of the NAV L and R push buttons on the front below the windscreen.... That allows the A/P to follow NAV1 or 2.... which is really nice for /A flying btw, and online! Otherwise I think you can change the EHSI from arc to full compass with the rotary knob on the far right (next to the DTA buttons etc)

Doh..... those pesky panels lol! Thanks Jim

I'm sure it's simple but I can't seem to find how to identify navaids in the Saab? Normally it would be on on the radio unit itself... Can someone help me or tell me where in the manual to find it?

Perhaps it's an nvidia issue? I'm running GTX570.

I don't use Skymaxx... Fwiw I'm not complaining it really doesn't bother me I just wanted to know if the devs ever had it. Maybe I'm carrying a bunch of aliens on board lol
