Thanks a lot the major problem is that I cannot find words within the pdf, I got no results.... so I have to read 120 pages it's not very practical. I wish there could be like a quick reference charts with the most important things in a page or 2 like MTOW, landing weight etc all the basic informations condensed.

I couldn't find the charts for flap setting/TOW I want to know what flap setting I am supposed to use with a certain TOW. Where is it? Looked twice through all 120 pages.

Great

Well as I said I can't remember exactly what I reset but it worked out

Yesterday I had another awesome flight but when I landed while rolling out I lost electric power and got the message "elec" followed few seconds later by "hydr" of course, I stopped the plane, didn't know what to do so I played with the battery switch a couple of times, If I recall correctly I believe I did a battery reset, and everything went back to normal like nothing happened. It was a long flight 3 1/2 hours and everything was just perfect, no signs of anomalies whatsoever.

I have a similar problem with the marker sound I see the symbol on the ND and the volume slider was full up, is there any other switch that I'm missing?

Thanks it works!

Thanks I got it to work on my first flight but not on the second one...I'll pay more attention tonight. Regarding the ground sound I saw they are there, I'm gonna try to put the engines sound to zero and if I hear the ground roll I know it's playing and I will just edit the file and increase the volume.

My pleasure...forgot to mention one thing, I cannot hear any ground contact sound but I see the files are in the Sound/contact folder is it just me, or maybe the engines sound covers them? LES_Saab_340A_AEW roll_ground LES_Saab_340A_AEW runway_ground

Just finished my second flight EBBR to EDDF no alarms, no nothing I had 2 amazing hours of my life and among the best ever spent at the simulator. I used Vor navigation and that mini GPS which is a genius piece of code and does not offend the concept of this plane with something that doesn't belong. I used to hate props but this plane is blowing me away, it is just unreal...actually it is very realistic I kissed the runway ad EDDF so smooth the landing was, unbelievable! I feel like I'm in love with something new and never experienced before, love the flight model! I had only one tiny issue with the dh it was stuck to 0 and couldn't set it up. Oh man I can't wait to fly it again tomorrow and after that to try the first night time flight. Thanks for all your dedication making this plane and if I may suggest start working on a FMC for the B variant it doesn't matter that it's going to take 2 more years but the plane is already delivered and it's here and it's a joy to fly.

I was looking in X plane menu joystick buttons to find a way to assign the A/P engage/disengage function to one of my joystick buttons, I see that several things can be assigned but couldn't find the A/P is there a way to do this? Thanks!

That was exactly the video that dragged me into buying the Saab!!! It is incredibly realistic (your Saab)

I didn't know that the condition levers issue was already discussed sorry I must have missed that post regarding the manipulators I was using them from the captain point of view with Trackir also without trackir had the same problem. What does " Simply drag and HOLD" mean... that once I dragged the cursor toward the side that I want, I have to hold and not to make any other dragging gestures is that what you mean? Ok I'll see tonight, thanks for your time.

The HDG manipulator is reversed: dragging left toward the - sign the HDG bug goes to the right and vice versa. The ADF 2 is reversed and the increment is too little and requires a big dragging movement making impossible to go from 210 to 275 in a reasonable time since I was following the flight tutorial. No good please fix it. The DH manipulator also behaves erratically at least for me I don't understand...I expect that the numbers decrease if I drag it toward the Minus sign and increase if I drag it toward the Plus sign, some time is good but most of the time is not and really don't understand where should I drag it to: up, down, just don't understand what's the logic behind these manipulators. I just found out that I have to assign my 2 prop levers... every time I fly?! Plus I had to try 4 times the procedure for the left prop because even though it was ASSIGNED successfully nothing happened when moving the lever up or down. On my first flight Yesterday the assignment procedure went smooth and both levers were working at the first shot so this is clearly an issue with the Saab and needs to be fixed ASAP. I really like that this plane is super detailed and the amount of care in the making is extraordinary but the things that I mentioned are basic and navigating the plane with VOR requires fast action, things have to be done in few seconds and efficiently so manipulators are key in this plane please make them working in a logic and efficient way.

Well thanks those are great news...I know that I have to position my lever carefully but I do that with every plane I fly and I'm really used to, I just find it more realistic and even more practical believe it or not, and if I have a visual confirmation of what I'm doing with the lever that would totally solve the problem. I just can't see the use of buttons to simulate something that is not a button. Maybe I'm crazy but I always plugin my saitek multi switch just to use the gear handle... with any plane the 777, a320 neo, crj200, you name it, and it is worth for me to have it plugged in and I'm very happy that I can use it with the Saab as well even only for that purpose, actually I wouldn't use it for anything else just because it is not realistic unless I fly a cessna and that's a totally different story. Sorry I went a bit off topic.

It would be great to have the B variant with the FMC in the future, as an upgrade, I believe I read something like that in some post some time ago. I would buy it

Yes thanks but the flaps are also axes and I would like to keep using them as I've always done. That's why I bought 2 saitek throttle quadrants I like the feeling of moving the flap lever in the same way (almost) as the real thing rather than just pressing a button. It would be great to have this feature at some point, it is kind of a basic one isn't it?

Is there any way to have the flaps assigned to a joystick axe the same way the props are assigned? I can't get used to having to move the flaps with the mouse, doesn't make that much sense to me not being able to use one of my joystick axes like I do with all my other planes. Other than that I'm loving this plane, incredibly detailed, well thought and the sounds are just amazing, thanks for taking sounds so seriously, TSS they are the best.
