I had purchased a Saab 340 in career during the short time in SU4 where it seemed heavy cargo was available before it was rolled back. The Saab 340 now doesn’t show up as a career aircraft that is usable in any way. I can’t do maintenance on it to sell it (just greyed out all options on it in the aircraft management under company), it can’t be transferred either to any airfield (just shows a generic error when you try to transfer it).
The Saab was listed as a heavy cargo plane and purchasable until after SU5, and now when you go to buy a cargo plane, it is no longer in the list. Is it planned to be included for heavy cargo missions as it was before?

It appears that the Saab 340 has been removed from Career for Cargo Transport - Heavy. It no longer appears in the Specializations menu, in the aircraft purchase menu for the Cargo company, and even on its Marketplace page (the various edition upgrades) it only shows for Passenger Transport - Airline.
I’m not sure if this is a bug or if it is the result of intentional config changes but I did point out recently that the Saab 340 didn’t seem like a good fit for Cargo Transport - Heavy given the current state of mission generation.
Is there any way for me to transfer the plane to a passenger company and still use it? Or is it because its currently “cargo empty” variant, that I’m just out of luck? I don’t have the money to replace it, do the support folks have the ability to move that plane to my charter company and change its configuration?
