Normal takeoff flaps are 15. I believe the values are the same for A/I and the altitudes since they are the indicated airspeed, which is already enough of an indicator of the aerodynamic situation.

Hi, I have read where to engage the nose wheel for ground steering, the tiller wheel beside captain's seat should be pushed down - which I have done. I have also programmed my Gladiator joystick to use the Yaw for nose wheel steering. Unfortunately it still does not work and hence I cannot steer the plane to the runway. I notice the mouse can be used to turn the tiller wheel, with some difficulty, but this does not seem to be appropriate as it is difficult to maintain forward vision. I do not have rudder pedals. Any advice is much appreciated.
There’s a know issue that was fixed, from what I understand. Try downloading the model again.

Nick is right... Austin models turboprop behavior based mostly on a PT-6 because that is what he flies. We have overridden a LOT of the engine behavior but it's a balancing act. If we adjust the fuel flow to "fix" the ITT swings then the engines will respond too slowly. I think we have found a good balance for now.
Curious, did you consider a fully custom engine modeling, like Thranda did for example? I know that’s something more like for v2, but I can imagine it could give you less dependency on Austin’s ideas from his DIY engine control.

Okay, I crosschecked and I agree, it is abrupt in the model.

Hi guys,
Great flight in the new 340 just now, but still a couple of things I hope get fixed before finalising V1.x.x development:
- Engines still experience a very rapid ITT rise and slight over-temp (not enough for the OT lights to illuminate) when moving the CLs from Start, through to Min and on to Max.
- The trim in AP is still a problem as I previously reported. It gets stuck in a Pitch Up position and neither the DataRef nor Trim indicator change at all when AP is engaged. When AP is disengaged you get a sudden Nose Up rotation (MJRHealth has also previously reported it on V1.6.3). Works fine out of AP; aircraft is able to be trimmed.
On a good note, the ILS issue I previously reported now works a treat - thanks.
Cheers.
Have you thought, just for a second, that a momentarily over-temp might be a normal, realistic behavior? And even in the flight manual there might be a section that states the time limitations and temperature limitations that are above the indicated maximums during the engine start?
It's not a slow, lazy PT6. It's a geared direct drive turboprop. Things happen fast in it, and get to normal fast as well.

Unless you use your Saab on multiple computers, you can remove any of them. "FREEZE" is just a keyword that detaches the license from one device to another. If it offers that, it means it already considers it a new machine, so you can remove any. I personally just remove the oldest in the list just to be sure.

Hi, thanks again for your continued work on this version. I do have a couple of things I have noticed.
1) As noted in a previous post my ITT values are very irratic with small movements of my throttle.
2) While moving my condition levers from start to min the ITT's passed 900 degrees causing the red light to flash on.
3) While setting my flaps to 15 for takeoff the flap handle moved to 15 but the flap indicator stayed at 0. I moved the handle up and down but flaps remained at 0.
Not sure when but as I taxied onto the runway I noticed the flap dial was showing 15 ( will look again with more time )
Many thanks
About the ITT, I would check if the Experimental FM is on. With it it's a bit erratic, otherwise it's different but nothing scary. It can get over the redline for a second on start, that would be normal.
Flaps, you have to have at least one of the generators or ground power on line for the servos to be powered.

The hydraulic pump behaves differently with EFM ????
No, the ITT. Didn't notice the hyd pump part, sorry.

@Jucebox85I've had it act a bit erratic with the Experimental FM on, without it it's way smoother.

Hi there. Just updated the Saab to 1.6.2, and the CTOT don't seem to work anymore.
Conditions: all avionics on, CTOT ARM, set to 108%, autocoarsen on. After setting the TLs to above 64 degrees the CTOT was before kicking in and moving the thrust to the set value. It doesn't happen anymore, just the linear torque changes like without it.
Unless I'm missing some requirement for it to work? Experimental FM off, but on 1.6.1 it worked with either.
Use PL Auto-Latch Saab 340
in Saab 340A

That's where the gust lock comes in handy btw, it prevents you to setting the throttles beyond the gate.
