Enjoy flying the Saab. one thing niggles though, having to click multiple times to select altitude. I appreciate the altitude selector goes in hundred feet increments, but having to click the button so many times is annoying. I guess in the real aircraft, you can twist, to move rapidly to the altitude you want, and it looks, from videos posted in early reviews, like you used to be able to do this. I've searched through the available keyboard commands. am I missing something? 10 clicks per thousand feet? I'm using a Mac.
Ummm, have you tries the scroll wheel ???

That picture is not of the lLaminar F-14 !!!

Delicious!
1st picture - Left - How it started...
2nd picture - Right - How it ended...
Guess the location!
QED - "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" or if your latin is rusty, "That which was to be proven/demonstrated"
These pictures also prove nothing, especially since the picture is too low res to read the dialog box. And, where is the Log.txt file that I asked you to post?

Here is just 1 example of my "assumptions"
But remember, as I never had to go through poverty and never had things given to me, I will never know how GREAT XP12 is. I only paid for it!
But paying for it means I can never say true things about it!
XP12 is finished....long before it even started. And remember DON'T start with just any aircraft, start with the Cessna 172 & then switch to your aircraft of choice especially that shiny new E175 that you bought for $74.
Proves absolutely nothing! Post the entire Log.txt.

As a member of the Laminar team, Please give me a little insight about what is going on with X-plane 12. Maybe a short little roadmap?
That is far too broad a question to provide an answer to. And, it's not my department!
. Suffice it to say there is a LOT going on.

Xlua was not developed by a 3rd party. It is a LR implementation. Yet it is, as of 12.05, sucking fps out of XP12 like no other component. That LR haven't fixed it or made sure it was not in the release from the get-go is "absolutely appalling". And if this is the situation with their own module, it doesn't take Einstein to figure out how badly 3rd party devs have been treated. If devs really had input into what LR is doing (I doubt this), then it just shows that LR hasn't planned XP12 well. Zink is another example.
LR has demonstrated with XP12 that they lack proper release management skills.
As a member of the Laminar team, and the team member who uses XLua the most, I can tell you your assumptions are all wrong.

We have not implemented or tested the GTN750 in the Saab, therefore we cannot support its use.

Managed to auto-start and all is ok for now.
Have a problem when flying and I get a red blinking CONFIG which I have no clue why.
Thanks, David
See pg 182 of the Systems Manual.

How hard would it be to make a pure graphical update that only adresses the cockpit brightness?
Since XP12 is in beta, and the lighting is still being adjusted, now is not the time for us to put out an update with any changes to graphics.

It's a great little add-on and I wouldn't mind to pay for an upgrade. I think it's the same story for a couple of other add-ons that are still supported and it would be a shame to miss out on this bird.
Blue skies.
There are many changes in XP12 that need to be incorporated into the Saab. Whether that happens in the Saab v1 or v2 remains a question, but it will happen at some point.

Your log.txt is being flooded with data from 124thATC, which is NOT GOOD. Although this makes it harder to read the log.txt file, I don't think it is related to your AP disco issue. I don't see anything else obvious in the log.txt file. It's possible something else is interfering with the Saab. I would try removing your 3rd party plugins (except Gizmo, do several test flights, and let us know how it goes. No one else is reporting this as a problem so it must be isolated to your system ( plugins, hardware, etc.) or pilot input.

I was flying yesterday from CYYE to CYPE at 5000' all I was doing was using the increase/decrease button on my bravo to change the heading bug as per 124thATC instructions. The AP randomly turned off on me 3 times during flight. Any Ideas?
Cheers,
Not enough info. What is your bravo switch bound to? Also, please attach your log.txt file.

To recap what I think you're saying, in the visual 3D model you can make anything flyable, but not so much if you select the physics 3D model?
The physics model (created in PM) is the ONLY thing that will determine whether it flies or not. The visual model is exactly that, JUST visual.

Thank you. I was aware of the red button on the yoke but this only provides half the answer - it does not engage the AP ( yes I accept I probably didn’t cover engaging the AP in my initial question). During take off, taking your eyes away from your attitude is not great - in fact I find that my aircraft invariably enters a left role when I am trying to engage. I can set a wide field of view to see everything but then my building look really odd. So my basic question was what x plane settings command can be set to engage the AP (and disconnect).
I note the command line of information you provided but I really don’t know what to do with that ( I am using iMac)
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.

So I just bought this plane recently and I'm new to it. I'm having an issue taxing. When I push my rudder pedals to the right or left, the plane just won't turn. I noticed from external view that the front wheels do not turn either yet in the cockpit when I'm looking at the rudder pedals in the plane, it shows them moving. I also tried differential braking and asymmetrical thrust but nothing helps, it just won't turn. I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks.

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.

Hi, I'm in the process of building Air Manager panels for the Saab 340A. To accomplish this properly, I need to write to the "les/sf34a/acft/inst/anm/airspeed_ind_bug_knob_pilot" dataref. Is there any way I can accomplish this?
TIA
Regards,
Greg
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".

So If I can't set above 2500ft, do I set the DH to 6 whilst in ground at departure runway if for example I'm destined to an airport where the chart for ils states MDA 600?
FYI I've set it to 6 before being airborne and can't say I have seen it flash or hear it Audible when on my approach descending through 600ft.
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.

Yes I have of course. Automatic switch will activate only one loop of deicing process
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.

But, the problem with Leading Edge Saab is that automatic function of wing deice is 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.

The gen_LED instrument can display leading zeros. You need to modify the png texture.
