FloB Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Amazing, thanks for this!!!As I've seen it with the cessna citation...are the radio memory/store functions also fixed in the saab update? CheersFlo Quote
JGregory Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Amazing, thanks for this!!!As I've seen it with the cessna citation...are the radio memory/store functions also fixed in the saab update? CheersFloThe Collins radios had a complete makeover and everything works as expected (per the Rockwell Collins Pro Line II Pilot's Guide). Goran demonstrated the memory functions in the video he did for the Citation, which you can see here. Quote
Mario Donick Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks! I like that you added boot up screens to the Garmin Quote
mmerelles Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) great waiting for the update to come alive. has the BETA mode been refined? there was some inconsistencies for taxing specially after landing to me. the update will also include new gizmo with expected performance improvement?

JGregory Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 has the BETA mode been refined? there was some inconsistencies for taxing specially after landing to me.You will need to be more specific. Quote
mmerelles Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) You will need to be more specific. It is my understanding that you use BETA mode for ground operations, power levers between grnd idle and flt idle actually controls blade angles instead of engine trust which could be difficult due to lags and turboprops nature, as such aircraft movement and taxing should be smooth and consistent. It feels to me the aircraft is not consistent during BETA mode, i.e. after landing you can set maximum blade angle and the aircraft will almost stop it takes considerable amount of blade angle to move while the aircraft is lighter compared to before-takeoff which requires minimum blade angle to move. Some times the aircraft may or may not move under the same blade angle. I am not a real pilot, i find ground operations being difficult and a bit unpredictable Maybe doing something wrong here? edit: misspelling Edited December 10, 2014 by mmerelles Quote
JGregory Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I think one of the Saab users would be better off answering your question. The prop behaves as it should, so I don't think there is a problem with the flight model or the code. If you want to discuss this at length, please open a new thread.

ryanbatc Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Yes. I've found the perf to be quite good actually already! Quote
scubajuan_new Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Nice!. Recently bought the plane and I'm loving it. I guess practice will solve some of my issues, but one thing I have not been able to do is to open the main door. I use a trackpad, not a mouse and it just won't work. Would it be posible to add a toggle for button on one of the menus? Quote

Would it be posible to add a toggle for button on one of the menus? The door is opened by clicking on specific areas of the door/handle. You should be able to do this with a track pad so I don't think any changes are necessary. In addition, we will not be making and further changes or enhancements for the next update. Quote
scubajuan_new Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I'll post the door problem on another thread. This is about the update and is looking good, thanks for the continued excellent work Quote
sparkie66 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) With the citation in development and all, I certainly did noy expect this update on the saab. So basically, you guys rule, thanks! Imho, the saab is still, at this time, the most in depth prop plane in xplane. That beeing said, I havent flown it for a long time, because of the limited/basic navigation it now has, which makes it hard work to fly online. All my planning crumbles once atc gives me a shortcut and says "go direct to xxxx" Can't wait for the update! Edited December 11, 2014 by sparkie66 Quote
Tom4 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 Please, when will this upade release? I want buy this aircraft so I believe I can make it before christmas Quote
Vinny003 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 Hi, guys! I hope there is the ability to refuel the Saab without using the x-plane's weight and fuel in the aircraft tab, and I hope to see the refuel light comes on on the overhead panel when the refuel door is open. Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Quote
iGoApp Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 Vincent. If you have an iPad, the ability is right there! :-) Quote
Vinny003 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 Hi, iGoAPP!!Okay, got it! Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Quote
