  1. Looking for screenshots? Scroll below to see links to topics with screenshots! Hello, Captains, Welcome to what we feel is going to be a very exciting week (defined as our own 7 day period starting now)! Why? Well, release time is upon us! The Saab 340A is on final approach and will be ready for you to fly very soon! The last three years of work is about to be unleashed in this new product for X-Plane 10, and we're confident you will agree it to be a game changer. There have been some awesome aircraft released over the years, and this has provoked us to raise the bar during development. We've raised our own bar over here time and time again to strive for better than we already are or ever were. The Saab 340A will be a study level sim. You can read the AOM from the real aircraft and step into this product and know just what to do; just what to see! We realize some folks are not interested in overly complex simulations, and trust me, we've worked hard to consider you as well. We'll announce more about that shortly! I realize some of you just like to "get in and go," and that's just fine! That said, this product will REALLY cater even more-so to the folks that love a true-to-life simulation experience. Our real world Saab 340 beta test team has been not only a tremendous help, but also good affirmation that we've been doing this right for the last three years; that we have something really special on our hands! So, what will these upcoming days hold? Well, here's what I can tell you: 1. We are currently wrapping up documentation and working on some last minute systems logic/animations (smaller stuff). 2. Our beta team has been provided their fourth release today, which incorporated a ton of bug fixes (thanks team!) and additions. While the team is busy putting the changes and additions through their paces, we are implementing any fixes or concerns that come up almost right away. 3. A lot of you have asked for a video. Truth be told, our plate has been really, really full with work here. Some of us have pulled up to 30 hour work days without sleep. That said, we will not let you down and more on that will be released in time. Video has been released! 4. We are busy testing new download servers just deployed in preparation for release day. 5. Everyone constantly asks about a release date. We actually have a hard date set for this launch already. We will not be releasing this info right now. Last minute things can change, but I thought giving you a time range (I did say a week ) would be more than satisfactory. The ONLY way something will change at this point is if something really, really "bad" happens to the extent we cannot release the product. The chances of this occurring are very slim. What can you do?... We've worked tirelessly on this add-on for all these years. We're confident in what a success it will be (just hearing the initial reactions from those involved in the beta make us smile), but you can never have too much publicity. You guys are sometimes our best marketers by spreading the word and sharing your excitement, so please, from today on, if you see something you like with screenshots, announcements, or any other info that will come out this week, share it! If you participate in other forums, that's a great starting point as well. Your excitement fuels OUR motivation! Lastly, thanks to everyone who has followed us on this multi year journey. Our job is almost done, but yours has just begun! Get those checklists out! Enjoy what's to come this week...It's going to be busy with information! ------------------------------------------------- Missed the screenshots?

  2. This is what makes flying fun and real. Very common on regional airliners. IAS is the way to go, and throttle management on the way down.
  3. Default scenery...IAH to be exact.
  4. VOR or the Garmin? Pick your poison.
  5. Thanks for the compliments, gents!
  6. Hello, All!, Testing continues to progress well and we have been pleased with the results up to this point. As of now we are on track for our internal release date, and we'll have more info on this soon! Here's a quick preview of another livery you can expect to be available in the Saab 340A package. This one is Kenya Airways, and is done by Leen de Jager! Want to see past previews? Click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here! Enjoy!
  7. X-Plane 9 can only use one core, so that sounds right...
  8. Okay, this topic is enough. Take it up in PM.

  10. Well, if he's better then you got NOTHING to worry about! Why would you ever want anything subpar? Sounds to me like you're covered, and there's nothing to worry about. It is this mentality that you have just shown that helps seal the deal and makes us feel comfortable with our decision. Enjoy your X-Plane flights!
  11. I suppose if you're running Linux, then you're correct. Then again, we already calculated that into our assumptions since you're running Linux and we already knew support wouldn't be there. On a broader question...you and what army?
  12. Those were instructions.
  13. No, it is not possible to disable. That said, I don't even think it's the true source of your problem (not that I fully know what is, other than perhaps AP constants).
  14. My feelings on this exactly. Hate it!
  15. No, really, I wasn't playing. You may be young, but you have the capability to restrain yourself from being a nuisance and posting things that make no sense or just because you feel like it for the sake of quoting or playing around. This isn't going to be that kind of a playground for you. This is your warning. Next time the game is over.
  16. That is quoting! Click the quote button!!!Stop.
  17. At least he's consistent.
  18. This is a time at which you will be asked to allow the aircraft to check the status of the license. None of this is done without your permission, as you'd be the one to initiate. It will occur once in a year. Bottom line: so long as you're a valid purchaser your aircraft will continue to work fine. We've had this system for years.
  19. As we continue to move forward, beta testing has gone quite well. Our testers have been an invaluable resource with their real world experience, and this is translating well into the polishing of this project. I thought the following quote from one of our testers was a great compliment and wanted to share it with you!... I decided to go over the electrical system a bit this morning. Testing it is tedious, because it´s very complicated, and I often thought I found a bug, only to read up and find out that it works exactly as intended. My hat is off to the coders, excellent job!... ...Again, great job on a very complicated system!
