You can bind the following to engage/disengage the autopilot. Note that in order to silence the disco alarm you will need to use the red button on the yoke.

Try to bind to this command... "JGX/SAAB/POPUP/TQ_viewer/CMD/showPopUp"

There is no way to know this for certain. So far the plane loads and flys in v12. But, Austin has made engine model changes that we do not have yet. I am hoping that any changes will be minor and be part of a free update if necessary.

Animation datarefs in the Saab are not writable. You will need to use the commands as mentioned above. In addition to setting the animation value, those commands will set the sim dataref "sim/cockpit2/autopilot/airspeed_dial_kts".

If you want the DH to be 600, then set it to 600, not 6. The DH will stop working below 5. Set it to 600 when you are descending to land and your altitude is below 2500 ft.

There are three minutes between cycles when using "CONT". Turn on the "BOOT IND" and observe the annunciators as they cycle between the diff boots, then extinguish for 3 minutes, then cycle again. I have no other reports of this not working.

That's news to me! Do you have the latest release?

The clock(s) in the current version of the Saab only indicate local time. And, the second hand in the current version of the Saab is not animated for sweep, rather it is discrete seconds.

It is unlikely that this will get solved by you waiting for another user with a "magic" solution. if you are unwilling to download the trial versions of XP, then at least remove ALL of your plugins, remove ALL of your custom scenery, and unplug all of your hardware from your current install and then test. If the problem persists at that point post another log.txt file from that session. Diagnosing problems is a process, please follow the suggestions of those who are trying to help.

No.

The Saab does have rain effects, although they are not the "modern" version.

I tested this not that long ago and it worked as expected. Did you have the weather set for clouds/rain ?

Your throttles need to be in sync with the cockpit manipulators. Use the TQ Viewer pop-up to view the position of your hardware and the manipulators. In addition, there is a Flight Idle Latch that will prevent you from moving the throttles below FI under certain conditions. The user preferences allow you to choose how to handle this. There are several posts on these forums that describe this in more detail.
