You have both Rose and ARC heading below modes available Altitude selector is middle top. Side panels are excellent. There are extensive circuit breaker panels but Carenado don't still do active circuit breakers. The working aircraft systems on the S is comprehensive Lower are the Fire pull handles and Extinguishers. Far right is another nice set of Annunciators to cover the aircraft's current situation, like open doors and status Almost every system, switch or selection works as real If your eyes are not yet glazed over by the sheer amount of system detail you have to absorb, you can now see where the study factor comes in.
In a rare publication for Carenado they have created a "Systems" manual for this S, it is not as deep as a formal manual, but it will get you out of trouble and you can download the manual here : Carenado Saab B for XP 11 Systems Manuals. The Librain rain effect plugin is also on the aircraft.
It was on the S that I first saw the librain plugin in action, and it looked a bit underdeveloped. But Carenado by version v1. It is also featured on both the cockpit and cabin windows.
There are however still a few quirks, one is that the bathroom window rain effects show hanging in the rear of the cockpit, that would be even scary in VR. Second is looking into the cockpit from the cabin you can see all of the rain effects of both of the forward windows? As development does go forward you can expect both areas to be addressed.
This route is typical of the sort of services the S covers, with a maximum 34 passengers and crew. Ground distance is NM and fuel load in lbs is lbs for a total weight of 27, lbs of a max weight of 29, lbs. SimBrief routing. No APU means no hydraulic pressure either, so you have to set the pumps to work manually before removing the chocks, battery power is fine, but you are better on GPU power Passengers in and loaded There is no PROP lever to set the Feather as it is automatic, and the feather position is noted on the Mixture lever gate With an engine providing power and the generator switched on you can now remove the GPU and start No 1 engine the same way as you start No Once both engines are settled and warm you are ready to go.
Again the running and system sounds just waiting for the engines to come up to operating temperature is really realistic, the aircraft hums with the urge to go. Back in the cabin the experience is awesome and highly realistic from our usual passenger position note all the seatbelt and EXIT signs , a look out of the window is also extremely real.
The real S has a HOTEL mode or the engine is running but the gearbox can be disconnected and the prop braked and feathered… usually used for taxiing, as most passengers then freak out that only one propeller is turning while taxiing most Prop regionals do this fuel saving trick anyway.
But you can't brake the Prop here, so the best you can do is switch one Prop to manual and keep it totally feathered. You can find that sweet spot with one engine at full idle feathered and one engine doing the taxiing work and get a nice slowish taxi speed, but personally I would like far more adjustment at the PROP feather stage to stop the surge of power even from one engine. It is just far too full on or off for me, but there was that sweet spot still a fraction too fast to control the taxi speed.
You can't even advance the mixture to full MAX until you are lined up ready to go, it is just too much thrust. I usually set the mixture levers at the hold point, but I couldn't here unless I wanted to visit the scenery. I did try in only starting one engine until I was approaching the taxiway hold point of the runway, then starting the other on the taxi, the effect was quite good, but on part of the engine start as the other engine's generator kicked in you lost your power to the instruments Note that all three altimeters including the standby have to have their pressures adjusted Speed bugs are adjustable on the IAS Speed dial, but there is a selectable bug as well for speed control in the EADI, which is great for setting both first your rotate speed and then your desired climb speeds.
Carenado provides extensive performance tables for takeoff speeds and their weights, highly recommended and worth printing out. As you advance the throttles the range of the engine tones in change are simply amazing, the best I think I have ever heard. You get a different sound for a different engine condition, you really do feel the power and movement in the sounds. As the gear goes up you get a very quick peak into the gear bay, and yes it is all very good in there.
Feel and control is Amazzzzing, as there is so much feedback as you bank left to clear the airport It needs a little practice to get perfect and not lose power when you disconnect the CTOT. It is so easy to go onto the FMS route and wing it, but I want to Fly this aircraft, so I banked left with permission than go right to the flightplan I want manual control here for as long as I can have it, and it is short cutting the flightplan as well. Even in the cockpit the roar of those General Electric CTB turboprops, 1, kW 1, shp is very real, you feel the power as you climb.
The S has been completely refined to the new The engine exhausts are poring out the burnt carbons courtesy of My jollies over I have to get back to and on to the flightplan Carenado note the APS system as 2-axis, but the official system is actually 3-axis, it looks like a 3-axis system as well in the way you use it.
The MFD85 map weather screen is positioned very low in the instrument panel, but you can pop it out and even resize it to use both the AP panel and the Map screen in one view FMS screen as well The autopilot I named "Colin" was now doing all the flying Time to finally sit back and revel in the safe purr of the twin CTB engines, all with the range of sounds that still astounds me Panel drop down lighting is adjustable as is the panel instrument lighting.
Main cockpit lighting is via two overhead lights, both on via the "Dome" OHP switch, but either side can be switched on via either pilots side switches Adjustable Yoke document holder lighting is absolutely gorgeous, it also highlights the yokes other text items. OHP is in flight mostly just an outline of the systems It is not what you want to see in-flight, but the annunciator warning lighting is very impressive. You can spend hours trying out the different lighting conditions in by the way you use the overhead seating lighting, the various window and overhead lighting selections to get the effect you want.
I did however find an odd situation in that the rear of the cockpit was constantly lit I wanted a fully dark cockpit and the adjusted instrument lighting for night takeoffs and landings, but no matter how many adjustments I made in the cockpit I made it was just always too bright? The worst was either side rear below and on the rear of the pedestal I was about to give up and then I found the offending lighting I doubt Carenado can actually fix this bleed, but at least with the galley light turned off I can set up the instrument lighting perfectly for the night time operations below.
External lighting is very good as well. Beacon, Navigation and Strobe lighting which is all excellent as well as the engine positioned wing Ice lighting There is a single taxi light on the front gear strut.
Your aim is for a dull instrument and OHP. No warning lights or anything flashing will make you happy, but with so many different systems and switch positions it is harder to achieve nirvana than what you think it is. Blinds are animated and move to any position One speed bug can be set to control your speed in too fast or too slow on the EADI, the other bugs are set to your flap position speeds as required.
Stall speed dirty flaps down in landing configuration is 82 knots. Control on finals is excellent, but you really have to work the yoke to keep the S straight, not big movements but tight small ones.
Carenado supply one blank livery for the S and nine branded, all of course are excellent and highly detailed So there is a lot of choice of brands to choose from. And the current fleet average is at 35, h and 39, cycles — a mean 0. SAAB has also extended the airframe life from 45, to 80, flight hours and 90, cycles and so the Saab should remain in service for at least another 30 years.
Org near you This S version also certainly gives all the other regional aircraft a major high starting level to compete with as this S is already a class leader. The questions were out there in the fact that would a segment dominating developer house with general aviation would then be able to move into another far more higher and technical study grade category or just deliver their usual but in a far bigger size.
That question is now without doubt here, as this S is an outstanding aircraft and I would note it as "Study" grade as the systems and details delivered are also very highly developed, but only a user with the full understanding of the aircraft's systems and quirks would only ultimately be able to answer the "Study" question.

Captain Coffee Posted August 22, Gorgeous shots. A fine looking aircraft. Great work. Posted August 24, Nice clean and sharp repaints JK thanks for sharing. Posted August 25, Hiya Lovely shots there! Any recommendations of minimum software to do it? Cheers S. Posted August 25, edited.
You'll need a graphic program and dxtbmp. I use photoshop, but the freeware gimp is fine as well. Posted August 26, If you run into trouble, just give a call, I've painted quite a few C's. Posted August 27, Posted August 29, edited. I have this sat on the shelf Edited August 29, by wain more info.
