[X-Plane 11] LES SAAB 340A | Full Review and Test Flight | KSNA ✈ KLAX

[@leadingedgesimulations7695]

That is a damn nice aircraft! Who made that fantastic thing!! ;)

[@Q8Pilot]

Brilliant work guys, a very well made aircraft! I absolutely love it!

[@leadingedgesimulations7695]

Thanks. And I passed that bug on to Jim. He'll take a look.

[@smokingspitfire1197]

Leading Edge Simulations I'll be picking this up very shortly!

[@leadingedgesimulations7695]

Hope you enjoy!

[@smithsoniannationalmemearc3250]

Real Swedes made that.

[@wooe]

This is my most flown aircraft in XP. I really recommend it for anyone that like planes of this size, it's indeed one of the best planes one can get for XP.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching!

[@jorge_781]

Not for US$50.00. This guys and their price policy is a joke.

[@pizza_parker9689]

Jorge what

[@snoblitz]

I don't know how anyone could possibly dislike this video. Really well done Q8.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a million Jeff, it doesn't bother me one bit =)

[@chuckpoole5369]

Great video. BTW - Starting at 23:48 the audio seems to go back to the open and we miss the last couple minutes.

[@pizza_parker9689]

chuck poole yep

[@apd1004]

Thank you for this wonderful review! I purchased the aircraft as a result of your review and so far it has become one of my favorite XP11 aircraft. To update, the current release version is now fully compatible with XP11.

[@TachiTekmo]

First plane I ever flew in. My local airport ran them until a few years ago, when everyone switched to CRJs. These old Saabs are damn-near bulletproof. I still love hearing them spool up! (And yes, the hydraulics really *are* that loud!)

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

I really like those fancy control pages. Especially that interactive checklist. Wish we had that for more planes.

[@zestyquestman8378]

Thank you for this review, I didn't know what turboprop I wanted to buy and now I am sure!

[@zestyquestman8378]

Thank you for the heart! Really appreciated!

[@jatarml1]

I love this plane, it is the plane that I use for my flight to take me away from the stress. Thanks for this beautiful video and great review.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video!

[@javierrodriguezsaez6039]

Hola José Luis, ¿puedes ayudarme con el CL Joystick Assigment?. Me estoy volviendo loco. Gracias.

[@jatarml1]

Si claro, sin problemas. Dime cómo lo haces y te comento el error O ponte en contacto conmigo por privado

[@javierrodriguezsaez6039]

Jose Luis Castillo como puedo ponerme en contacto contigo por privado?

[@javierrodriguezsaez6039]

Jose Luis Castillo te paso mi mail y ya a partir de ahí nos ponemos en contacto: [e-mail] Muchas gracias!

[@SteveSurgenor]

This thing is amazing in native VR ! Huge difference from anything I've flown in any sim before, you can really feel the weight of the thing, stunning. Looking forward to the update and mouse support, although it works pretty well as is.

[@coochb945]

Another nice video. I spent a few years flying Saab 340's and this looks really close to the real thing. I love the way the checklists work. Why can't more developers do that. My only comment would be the background air/engine noise is too quiet when in flight. When the hydraulics pump came on during the approach it sounded way too loud. We used to hear it when flying but really only just above all the ambient noise. Otherwise I am impressed

[@nateleech3887]

Amazing video mate! I love the Saab! Sad to see them leave most us airlines. One us airline that flies them is Silver airways in Florida.

[@horst-dieterwuttke2856]

Thank you so much for this great video! I was already thinking to "upgrade" to the SAAB 340A from my current aircraft. Now I am really convinced to do so! Thanks again!!!

[@Q8Pilot]

Most welcome, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Juanma23b]

It's so satisfying to see that performance in a flight sim.

[@ricardodossantosnortman3167]

Amazing Video! Always appreciate your videos @Q8Pilot! :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for your kind words and for watching the video!

[@needclout3369]

Yessss finally awesome video as always keep up the good work

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching Brandon!

[@rl4795]

Your knowledge and reviews are very valuable. Thanks... Well done.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your kind words Robert!

[@cleniolelys]

Always great videos with perfect reviews.

[@Q8Pilot]

And thank you for your more than perfect support throughout Silvio =)

[@ola.ljungqvist1966]

Hi Osamah. Another great video of another great aircraft. I'll definitely get that one. A small tips: If you take a small piece of paper or cardboard and place it on you screen just where your logo is. That will ensure you that nothing you show will get stuck behind your logo :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks buddy =)

[@Slovenskimajzl]

Great review. I've been eyeing this plane for a good while now, but I'm currently waiting for the version 2 release of the plane.

[@Q8Pilot]

It is a wonderful bird for sure!

[@sshashlan]

ANOTHER great video Captain, absolutely the highlight of my day in SIM content consumption

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a million Shaker, for your support and for watching the video!

[@sshashlan]

Q8Pilot my pleasure Captain

[@mutedstorm2490]

That aircraft is AMAZING, I'm going to buy it sometime. And, AWESOME video.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

One of my favorite aircraft, need a good one for V4. Great video. Have good weekend.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a million Shane! It is a real joy to fly. You do the same mate!

[@Tyrese4real]

Yoooo your intro has to be the best Mann 🙏👏👏

[@williamsmith9763]

When the engines were started, I missed the howl of the exhaust. When you’re in the passenger compartment, it sounds like an open window in a gale for a few seconds.

[@intulectual3383]

For a better start, I recommend that you should override the batteries before you turn them on.

[@manleybrittain1296]

Great airplane and video Q8 pilot!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a whole bunch Manley =)

[@nathantucker3484]

wow, an intro from a youtube video that I actually like.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks my friend =)

[@michaelwilliamson6061]

Thanks for another great video. As always.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a heap Michael!

[@SharkousVanBourbon]

2:12 Van runs towards plane like an excited puppy

[@Q8Pilot]

=)

[@Antyardie]

Enjoyed the video.Quality,helped me make a decision to purchase.Thanks.

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad this was helpful Anthony, blue skies!

[@omarijoseph3189]

very nice stuff..did not know Delta had these..very cool..nice looking sky & clouds..smooth sexy landing...great work.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for your kind words and for watching the video =)

[@nicdecaz425]

As always great video AND VERY INFORMATIVE.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks a million Nicolas!

[@MarakanaBGD]

Dude.. you are awesome.. not sure why you do not stream.. cheers

[@dudleefing]

I agree

[@wildfiremichael]

I remember flying the Saab, very nice plane.

[@2018paulrobbinx]

It's always fun watching someone throw the throttles too the stoppers on a turbo prop! Just don't do it when you get in the real thing! Hahaha. I wish they would get this plane in P3D! Looks real nice. Still looking for a good Embraer 120.

[@latelammas100]

I wish they developed the Saab 2000 for X-Plane, with the same cockpit as the LES

[@theultimatedodgerfan]

Approach into LAX somewhat realistic! I could make out the freeways that run past the airports from in the air.

[@Q8Pilot]

Yes, I am using Photoreal textures so it should be spot on. The overlays I am using are not 100% so some difference may be a little different.

[@RWHobbies]

Still no xp11 version released. Seems to be taking some time.

[@youraveragepilot9938]

Can you please do a e175 or 95 test flight and review

[@MauritsVeen]

futurepilot 777 here is your review in one word: garbage

[@youraveragepilot9938]

Maurits Veen is it that bad? Lol

[@XPlaneAviation]

your averagepilot yes it is... it has many missing features

[@danielrds]

Nice Job buddy! ..please could say me which your configuration in Augmentation and "control response" ...! :D i've been using 0% at "control response" and 100% at "augmentation"...but i don't know if is the best setting

[@darrelldiaz]

Great video!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching Darrell =)

[@disguisedpanda5427]

Hey great review! I still cant deside if i should go for IXEG 733 or this SAAB. Im more into Airbus, but i like the Boeing as well. I know they are both different aircrfats but if you compare these 2 in 3d modelling, systems, etc. which one will win?

[@arlonaviation109]

I thought it was real(thumbnail) awsome xplane awsome....

[@Balthazar030]

Thanks Q8. Great video.This seems to be quite interesting plane. Maybe the price could be a little lower though.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks buddy, I think the price is within range for an aircraft of this quality.

[@manic_miner]

Another great video Q8 for a great looking aircraft. How can it have PBR textures if it is not XP11 ready yet?

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks buddy! It is partially compatible with x-plane 11. Still some glitches to iron out.

[@AquaStevae]

Nice new vid. This is a bit off topic, but I would like to know which atc you prefer in this day and age of XP11? Thanks!

[@Q8Pilot]

VATSIM or PilotEdge. Nothing else works well in my opinion!

[@easer777]

Thát plane is absolutely on the top of my what-to-buy list, thanks for the review.... What cloud system do You use Q8, is it the default X-plane or is it an addon, and if it is an addon, does it hurt or benefit the fps....?

[@nosalis]

any idea when I swtich on the avionics, I don't get the beep on the L and R avion, only on the ESS, after I finished check-list, my main avionics displays were not ON

[@backlog2389]

Nice lowkey, shell gas, advertisement there at 3:43

[@nj3005]

A crucial part of landing is the centre line use it

[@Q8Pilot]

The kind of comment you would expect from a train lover =)

[@XPlaneAviation]

Hi. Can you please do a review on Pilot2ATC? In my opinion it's the only ATC plugin for X-Plane that doesn't suck. It has voice recognition, moving map and supports both IFR and VFR.

[@Q8Pilot]

I purchased 2 copies of Pilot2ATC on my old machine and new, and it simply doesn't work. Not sure why. I hear it is very promising piece of software, but I can't say without trying it out.

[@DuskyIsBored]

Thats looks like such a good plane, Nice video work as well. Little cringe when you landed on 25R but otherwise great video pretty plane.

[@craigfarquhar5764]

Great model of aircraft! Can you get this for FSX

[@whenofficial433]

THANKS SO MUCH BRO FOR THIS !! :DDDDDDDD

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for watching!

[@peixevoador100]

Hi! Great content! How does this aircraft handles in terms of FPS? Thanks!

[@Bcr3106]

Trying to understand the prop condition lever on this aircraft. Can you explain why you went through the entire flight in max position and what the proper use would be?

[@Q8Pilot]

No, the position I had the condition lever was not the max. The max is a beta, you should pull back a bit, otherwise your engines would blow up.

[@sameerbachan2122]

Awesome video

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching Sameer!

[@grauadler4935]

Did they record the engine sounds from the real aircraft ? When that is done properly it makes all the difference. Good job on all of your videos.

[@MauritsVeen]

GrauAdler they are very close. Not IXEG close but just recorded from the real plane

[@Q8Pilot]

Not sure if the engine sounds come from the real aircraft, but they are pretty close.

[@leadingedgesimulations7695]

Yes, they were recorded from a Saab 340 by the guys at Turbine Sound Studios. They were a real pleasure to work with, and we are going to work with them again.

[@karlwood9476]

You must have a pretty strong machine to run this looking so nice? You have specs and mods available to view?

[@Q8Pilot]

My PC Specs are available at www.q8pilot.com. XP11 settings are available in the video description. Thanks for watching!

[@GeorgeZhou522]

My throttle idle position is its propeller reverse, bit annoying, how could u fix that

[@blevenzon]

New Subscriber here, love your videos. Just a quick question, is the above 1440 or 4K?

[@Q8Pilot]

Welcome to the channel Boris, the video is recorded and rendered at 1440p

[@blevenzon]

Thank you. Im binge watching all your previous videos now. :) love the SAAB surprised it didn't make your top 5 list.

[@Furriee]

How to turn on the virtual checklist?

[@giovannivazquez2774]

Great review. Thanks. I went ahead and purchase the aircraft and used the installer to install it onto X-Plane 11 but it shows up as unclassified (unknown aircraft) in the aircraft menu. Can’t use it. How did you get it to work with X- Plane 11?

[@Q8Pilot]

Giovanni Vazquez Load the aircraft at any airport. Then go to edit flight...click on customize aircraft and click build icons. That should do it

[@ElakoitunutAbi]

Wonderful, thanks!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching!

[@madbro9977]

Good vid, but would have liked to see the passenger lightin

[@Q8Pilot]

If you watch the full video, you would see it =)

[@tgmjrtgmjr8221]

Nice vid as always. Question though, I recently updated my version and I am using XP11; when using the SAAB checklist, when I click view for any particular checklist item, the time the "view" stays on the selected area of the particular checklist item is really, really quick, then the view goes back to my normal cockpit view. This happens within the cockpit itself and with external views. Is this something associated with X Camera? I tried adjusting X Camera settings, but nothing seems to work. Is there a setting within the SAAB I am missing? Or Gizmo? Thanks, please keep up the fine, fine work you do. I can't tell you how much I have learned from your videos over the last couple of years with many, many planes, equipment, settings, etc. Thanks, Thomas.

[@Q8Pilot]

Try disabling x-camera and see if things work. It looks like x-camera conflict.

[@aidanherbel7436]

Very nice plane!!

[@podoxd]

These visuals are awesome how did you get it to look so good

[@MauritsVeen]

Cheeto this is normal quality

[@Q8Pilot]

It is a combination of a monster PC, good monitor along with some XP11 awesomeness =)

[@Silva-hf8rn]

I recently bought the SAAB 340, aware that it is for xplane 10, but I'm using it on xplane 11. Everything works perfectly, with the only problem of turning off xplane 11 after 10 minutes of flying, giving crash. This is not the case with other aircraft. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

[@RWHobbies]

Looking to buy one plane this weekend - Rotate MD-80 or the Saab?

[@Q8Pilot]

Two very different aircraft, it depends what you are looking for, both are great.

[@MauritsVeen]

Saab is study level, MD-80 isn't even though it's great. Saab also has better visuals. So why are you still reading this get the saab!

[@RWHobbies]

Think I will along with the RealityXP GTN 750

[@B1900pilot]

N450XJ is a SAAB 340B+

[@aviationforlive7434]

Hey i have a quick question if i turned on my navi there is that normal message where you have to press ok to continue and file the flightplan but if i press enter the Garmin just turn off ( version 1.4.1 X plane 11)

[@Q8Pilot]

Yes this is a bug in this version. V1.5 is about to be released and has full compatibility with XP11.

[@aviationforlive7434]

Q8Pilot ok thank you👍🏻

[@cotty9749]

hey buddy, nice intro!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks!

[@faacu6940]

i have a problem. after the update, i can't assign the lever throttle, or the second throttle, anyway. i can't fix it. any can help me? D:

[@CarlssonLukas]

How do You install puchback and autogate ??

[@f.m.ghaghazi4701]

I bought it recently, unfortunately, it causes xplane 11 crashes every time that I want to fly with Saab340a. I could not do a complete flight with this plane,yet!!!! if you know the reason please let me know.

[@sebastiano4041]

very much enjoyable 😀

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@reljazaric7752]

Nice video! Btw, what is the music at the end of the video?

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching! I got the music from Audiojungle.net.

[@JustinOhio]

The audio at the end is not synced up.

[@hmishin843]

Osama. Would be so kind and let us know the specs of your rig, and your xp11 settings. Thank you.

[@Q8Pilot]

Specs are available at www.q8pilot.com. X-Plane Settings are available in the description of the video.

[@hmishin843]

Thank you.

[@XPlaneAviation]

Awesome plane!

[@Q8Pilot]

It sure is =)

[@mannyrivera6990]

No FMC for this aircraft ?

[@kvs154]

how did you made gps to work? mine isnt working...

[@-freespirit-3314]

NEW!!! - Reality Expansion Pack (REP) for the Laminar-Cessna-172SP -- for the X-plane default Cessna -- store.x-plane.org/Reality-Expansion-Pack-for-Laminar-Cessna-172SP_p_670.html

[@Q8Pilot]

Yes I will be taking a look at this evening =)

[@TheR3negadeMaster]

0:17 “Hello guys and welcome to this sex plane video...” WTF 😂😂

[@hamidk1193]

Are you using w2xp for all those houses around klax?

[@Q8Pilot]

No I am not, this is the new AutoGen in XP11. It's pretty awesome isn't it =)

[@fil1933]

Hello Q8 Pilot! So I was looking into the world of FSX and P3d and was thinking of getting P3d because there are SOOO many (more) iconic add ons especially in the sceneries compared to x plane. Now I go to their website and see all the licensing stuff and I am quite confused about it. What would be the appropriate "version" or license for a simple "home use", nothing extra or nothing less, just a basic version for home use. Could you possibly clarify this? Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@Q8Pilot]

For P3D, just get the professional license. You are safe that way.

[@CMDmed6067]

No linux support? I guess the Carenado's will be the one for linux people.

[@jamiebuchanan3653]

Good afternoon Sir! Another high quality video, thank you for taking the time to produce as I've been looking at purchasing the Saab but couldn't find much out there in reference to independent reviews. Your opening scene of KSNA and the surrounding area looked incredible! Can I just ask, is that default X Plane 11 or a payware airport add-on? Many thanks

[@Q8Pilot]

The airport at KSNA is freeware available at the org. The photoreal scenery, I created using Ortho4XP.

[@movierelics]

Is the gear and flap hydraulic sounds right? They sound like a drunk bride screaming out the top of the limo sunroof from a vegas bridal party?

[@Q8Pilot]

It is actually pretty close to the real thing.

[@movierelics]

The hydraulics or the bride? :)

[@XPlaneAviation]

Charles Terry I think he means the hydraulics xD

[@movierelics]

Could have gone either way.... :)

[@momatedise]

as a former mechanic on the 340 i can confirm that the hydraulic sound is spot on.

[@peteomeed8432]

I have the latest version for 11.3 this model has starting issues!! WON'T START

[@Instinct_cmdr]

Is this stock xp11 like the scenery and Airport

[@RWHobbies]

not stock, but free. he downloaded the airport from the xplane org forum and created the photo-scenery tiles using ortho4xp

[@hardy4756]

I wonder if it still works with X-Plane 11.11

[@Q8Pilot]

A new version 1.5 is coming out soon with full XP11 support.

[@wjohn914]

What happens with the audio at the end

[@MD88Pilot]

When your computer costs as much as a Saab 340.

[@flysmitty7035]

what kind of intel core do you have in your computer core i5 or i7 ??

[@XPlaneAviation]

What ortho4xp source there in LA?

[@Q8Pilot]

The default source.

[@misred28]

Pls can u do 777-300ER cuz that's my favourite airplane

[@Q8Pilot]

You are referring to the 777 by flight factor for XP correct?

[@alphapache7312]

It's going to be reworked soon :D

[@Q8Pilot]

And will be sure to make another video then =)

[@alphapache7312]

Q8Pilot shouldn't be too soin though, Goran is remaking the DC-3 at this time, and jt looks very promising!

[@SteveSurgenor]

Does anyone use this in FSEconomy ? The only.option I see is for the B model, I don't want to get kicked out for cheating ! Thanks ms
