I downloaded the FSS SAAB 340B the other day just so see how accurate the sim would represent the real aircraft, and i was pretty impressed.

I think the cost was something like 35 bucks and you can get the paint scheme of nearly any company that operates the SF-340.

Every switch and button is there in the sim, 90% of them are functional and do the exact thing as they would in reality.

if your a fan of the SAAB 340 and always wanted to have the most realistic SAAB sim you could get without buying a full motion SIM this is the way to go.

check it out.

I looked at their FS2002 Learjet and it is a modified freeware panel from FS98. lol

The Saab looks 10 times better though.

cold cockpit starts are a two handed operation in the saab.

goes something like this

Beacon - on
Door lights checked - off (they are automatic)
avionics switches left and right -off
Ignition Switches - off

Start Switch - Right and hold
*when ITT below 150 and Ng above 20 RPM
             - right side ignition - Norm
             - Right side condition lever - Start
             - Ignition Switch - release

in MSFS it is easier to just set the condition levers to max, turn the ignition switches to norm and hit the starter, or just do the ctrl Shft E thing

After starting you can accomplish these items

Right generator switch on
external power switch off
right bleed valve - reset (as far up as the switch goes)
right recirc fan - on
Emergency light switch - auto
Left and right front windshield de-ice - on
Standby pitot heat - on

repeat for left engine

hope that helps, dont think i forgot anything but i could have, let me know if you have more questions.

good - now dont forget to place the generator switches to reset and on... all the way up as far as the switch goes. then neutral.

Your left and right "GEN" lights on the overhead should go dark at this point. might take a few seconds.

On many payware aircraft and complicated freeware aircraft like Project Tupolev Tu-154 Ctrl+E does not work.
