currently there is a sale of all MS aircraft - you can buy the Saab340
So 340 can be purchased as standalone? Never was first than now
Yes, read the link I sent, they have opened it up to anyone on any edition
Question is, is it worth it?
Those considering purchasing this aircraft should be aware that there is a problem with it.
I doubt whether Asobo actually performs QC.
just dont buy it
The Saab 340B cannot maintain airspeed once you hit flight level 230, it just somehow stalls out so I canāt maintain career mode flight altitude when it is above fl 250, while flight radar shows it operating higher the fl 200 ![]()
I just hit FL 250 career mode and it stalled
itās simply not flyable, and cannot be used in career mode at its state
They should just remove the carenado product out in favor of both the next gen Saab projects replacing this one because next gen at least fixes their stuff
The 340s service ceiling is 25.000ft.
Then career mode is trying to kill me in my Saab 340B because it kept assigning you over 250, and you canāt reassign your cruise alt because it gets reset back to the obscure altitude
Try setting the altitude you want on the EFB and then send that plan to the ATC at the start of the mission before requesting IFR clearance, it works for me
Iāll have to try it when I add the Saab back into my fleet because I am building my fleet back up from what it used to be and my modernization attempt of the fleet which will be a while ![]()
Good luck with it, although the Saab missions donāt payout the best. I wish itād get to run cargo or something.
My 4 x 340ās in cargo have stopped flying now and I cannot maintain them - thats a huge credit loss each time! Never mind the Cr it will cost me to fix them back to a condition where they can fly. Why not let us maintain them even if they canāt fly?
Please Asobo make a decision about the cargo weights in the different categories - clearly this is not a plane for light cargo it is too big. Leave it in medium heavy cargo - How long does it take to adjust the criteria?
