[MSFS2024] Saab 340B

Haven’t watched this video yet but maybe it has the information you need.

I need a northwest airlines red livery and NWA Airlink livery for this aircraft

Very impressed that one of the default liveries is REX-wish there was a Link Airways livery added in an update, would be sweet for YSHL to YMEN ops.

Basically, am piloting only the Saab 340 due to the constant CTDs with larger aircraft like the 737 MAX 8 on PC (not only affecting Xbox).

How do you start the Saab 340, I had the Carendo Saab in P3D and Xplane and did quite a few flights but I can’t even start the MSFS 2024 version using the same start procedures as the previous 2 - no fuel pressure, no props turning - nothing!

I cannot even get the darn thing to taxi…. Chocks removed, brakes off, followed the checklists to the letter, will not taxi, even at full power. :(.

Not sure the issue from my side or this aircraft has no animated throttle quadrant, flap control?

Hopefully some nice liveries will come soon, currently flying in New Zealand, would be nice with a local livery.

Have we gotten any statement from carenado/microsoft about the current state of the SAAB? Do we have any idea on when we can expect an update for this (or are they waiting with the SAAB atm and for example trying to fix the PC24 first)

Start selector (L or R), condition lever “start” position, and ignition normal and guarded.

I’m experiencing some sort of bug that prevents the aircraft from moving on the surface as well. Happened to me on landing, couldn’t vacate the rwy

In my case even when starting a flight in air there are bugs. The engines are killed instantly and I can’t restart them.

Would love for a manual to be posted to MSFS page with the other airplane manuals.

I have fond memories of flying an American Eagle S340 from KBDR to KDCA and back, both at night. Want to eventually duplicate this flight, but the EADI and ND are blinding. Can’t figure out how to turn town the brightness yet. And ditto on the overhead panel backlighting not working. Only the dome light works. :frowning: I managed to get both engines started, but haven’t messed with my control set ups yet, so was just going to power up and shut down, but once engine 2 was started, the sim CTD’d. Alas, my FS2024 journeys are off to a slow start!

In regarding livereis and waiting for a livery of air nz link…
Where are all the livereis regarding all the planes in msfs??
Flightsim.to isnt exactly flooding with livereis for the various new aircraft in msfs 24, or, there isnt any seperate section for msfs 24 livereis??
Im hoping this cloud based set up still allows you to create or use custom livereis

Currently its impossible to create liveries for most default aircraft sadly

Check to see if you switched the Gust lock off, the Saab 340B has one on the throttles and remove the engine vent covers as well, that was the biggest mistake I made in fs2020 when the PMDG dc6 came out, I had no clue about what a gust lock even was :slight_smile:

Airspeed indicator does not work - will not move off “0”

You might have forgotten the pitot cover in the preflight

Is there a quick guide to using the AP. I’ve managed to set up the UNS1? FMC up with a flight plan but can’t get any LNAV tracking either VOR or GPS modes to work, or indeed alt capture/hold. ALSO (stupid question, but where is the HDG dial hiding?).
I have to say aesthetically this aircraft looks great.
One other minor gripe so far, hiding the stick doesn’t hide the column which still blocks the view of the HSI so what’s the point in the hiding function?
