Sorry for the delayed reply. It's this one..

You can also assign a key to it, comes in handy for switching to tiller on rollout without looking down and veering off the runway

Yes, it can be.. If you go to the RXP forums > Xplane > GTN > Sticky thread along the lines of aircraft panel integrations, think the Saab is on page 2 from memory.

Answer to both.. There is a side menu on the right, hover the mouse on the right centre edge and it will pop up. Autostart is bottom icon from memory.

Fairly accurate.. The feedback for the flap lever is the guy/girl next to you saying the word 'selected'

That far right But I could swear XP was not as much as Saab'y Mc Saabface..

Pretty much, straight as a dart?

yea, if you put the right base side of the triangle on the left edge of the third point in the W should stop the roll.

Right trim, but the position is just left of being dead centre above the W in yaw on the wrim indicator

Just gave same thing ago, I got a left roll. Seemed to be aggravated by your power setting.. those engines belong in the bin after the punishment. Using a normal power setting its a more gentle left roll. Real aircraft takes 1.5 units right rudder trim which is too much in the sim, so I guess to your answer, yes. A real saab will do that too under the same circumstances through secondary effect of not enough rudder Rudder trim ever so slightly left of center above the W in yaw on the trims seems to be the mark for XP.

Yes, it is LES > CMD > APCP > Pitch wheel Neg / Pos

Autopilot's not engaged accidentally is it? A very high pitch up trim on its own sounds like the AP has kicked in

The defaults are all triggering the incorrect type of ice protection (all electric) which is why that is so effective and the saab's boots are not. It's definitely laminar (i reported it to them anyway), the boots are completely ineffective up until the aircraft is about to stall, real boots shed even thin layers of ice.

What stage of flight was it when it crashed? How fast, I assume it stalled?

-- Edit --- Think it could be a Laminar fault. Found the datarefs on laminar's website, the boot de-ice is triggering, just the ice might be accumulating far more than it should. I observed it to reset to 0 once it reached 0.3 and the boots activated in their sequence. The default MD80 and Kingair de-ice boots both triggered an electric wing de-ice instead of boots, hence they cleared it in no time flat.

How? To quote Saab Good luck with the climate you described

I see what you mean now.. You are correct, the boots appear to be aesthetic and not actually functioning as boots as far as XP's logic is concerned

Is that the visual icing addon? Can't remember the name of it, but its not part of the LES Saab is it? You have the system operated correctly, +5*C in visible moisture boots go to continuous and HP Bleeds to Auto, exactly what your pic shows. Manual push buttons are a back up if the timer fails, or in severe icing where you need extra inflation's during the 150 seconds between boot cycles. I like the way emergency lights and the locator beacon are already turned on, you must be anticipating the imminent impact

1000 ft.. I try not to kick it out till around 400ft.. think of row 11 Standard Approach.. I normally come in at 240 kts to around 6 or 7nm to run the IAF, drop it in flight idle and let the speed wash. 190 kts take gear down, condition levers max, coming through 170 kts flaps 15 whilst relatively briskly increasing Trq to around 40%, circa 800fpm descent maintaining around 165-170 kts. Approaching FAF reduce to 30% Trq, as speed comes toward 160 kts, flaps 20 and bump the Trq to 35% to maintain 160 kts. Around 1000ft AGL reduce to 20% Trq, let speed bleed back to Vref+5 by 50 ft, might need to bump it slightly to stabilise it at Vref, normally 22% works out nicely. At this point probably back around 600 fpm, nose around 1 degree up, keep it coming to 10ft, then slowly reduce to flight idle whilst bringing the nose up to around 4 degrees, eyes to the end of the runway whilst she touches down, should need no more than 5 nose up or the speed will wash and she drops like a sack of bricks. Power a shade below ground idle whilst you put the nose down, check both beta lights illuminate then take reverse if required. Power settings are a bit screwy at the moment in XP with the changes laminar made, those torque settings kinda work but are more of a rough guide at the moment, think from memory the LES Saab needs an extra 10% or so, except for the 20% coming back to Vref. The Saab is incredibly nimble once you're used to her, just need to make sure she is trimmed. If you're over controlling its probably not trimmed. XP especially when you can't feel any forces, just let go. If those nose drifts off you are fighting against her, wind the trim in if its a pitch thing and let go again, works if your constantly over correcting roll too, eventually it will stay put Good luck Michael, the LES is a great training aid, majority of it does what the real one does.

Blank CDI.. Ideally I'd like to try and end up with something like this with the GTN's, but no point trying that much effort if it falls down at the first hurdle..

Question for the Dev's, does the Saab EHSI use custom or default datarefs for the CDI and GS? Figured i'd check before chasing my tail around on a problem with no solution... The RXP guys have given us some datarefs for the GPS override to check the 530 is getting booted out of the system, those datarefs are reporting the correct tracks, speeds and CDI displacement but the course bar is no where to be seen. Pops up for a brief second switching between Angular and Linear, standby CDI has correct CDI displacement. Also minor bug, the EHSI is stuck with ANG and doesn't switch with the selection to GPS (LIN)

Re the LCD - there is a direct replacement for the CRT, only change is the actual screen tech itself, and the bezel has Thomas instead of Collins. Certified in pretty much every aircraft that used that Collins CRT back in the day. Its a retrofit, All saabs left the factory with CRTs. Dont think its the upgrade the others where hoping for.. Chase i reckon we could get it up to 5, pass the plate around and possibly scrape enough money together to buy an hour or two of his development time. Might not be enough to walk away with a B model

That would be great, just looking to get LRN back. Figured a known working config was a good place to start.

Jumping the gun on Saab a bit, LCD PFD/EHSI is about as 'glass' as it gets in the 340. There is a nice cabin upgrade but still retains the small overheads my bag never fits in...

yea, that's what I meant by WT (wing tips). Still heaps of B's out there rocking the same wing as an A.
