I did have the FS9 FFS Saab 340, but it no longer works properly.
During the time i migrated from my old computer to my new one, the FFS site dissapeared, and i can no longer register the 340 online with them, so the guages etc dont work anymore. Basically. its pretty useless now.
Previous to having this, i used Mike Stone's freeware 340 in FS9, there are 2 good Air NZ paints out there for it for FS9.
In FSX i use the PAD freeware 340.
The Saab 340 is my 2nd most favourite twin turboprop (1st being the old Fokker F27 Friendship, ohhhhhh the unique scream of those Rolls Royce Darts).

..........and herein lies the problem with online registration/activation........................

I queried for a SAAB longs way back and was told directly not to buy the model as the service even when the shop was open selling the service minimal .

I always liked flying on them and 'Ha'

was told i was the only one who must have like em .. always flew the back seats on the REX flights

I would have to agree Ian,......... I found the helpfulness of them to be minimal, to say the least.
I did, however, absolutely love the model of the 340,...... thought it was brilliant back in its day.
Often wondered how good it would look and fly in FSX.......??????............

It still astounds me that no one has done the F-27,...i'd give my right leg for one....well ok not my leg

. Will the FFS Saab install still though or does it need registration to install the visual model,..if its just the gauges then can they just be replaced or have I missed/misunderstood something entirely lol)

I no of a freeware jobbie in the work , but have been sorta chatting to a group and strangely just had a contact with intention of getting as many photos from 'SA227' Andrew - being a front end driver , the man who wipes the windscreen by putting his arm out the window type person to give it a wipe ... (aviation terms called huminization) whilst at 15,000 ft may really tip the developers - twist there arm so to speak .

It still installs in FS9, just the guages dont work without registration, and for some reason, if my memory is correct, neither do the effects work.
Its been a long time now since the last time i tried to install this in FS9, and ive never tried to install it in FSX.

I too would LOVE to see a new model of an F27 !!!

Im making do with Mike Stone's F27 in FSX, with updated real RR Dart sounds of course, and a new CFG for FSX that i found that updates and improves the flight dynamics of it, and an FSX panel, and there is a basic VC out there, which i havnt gotten around to getting yet.

I'd be keen to replace the gauges etc.. if ye willing to send me a copy of the Saab,..its no longer available commercially dont see any piracy issues with it

. Effects can be redone to some degree as well...

I have the FFG Saab which is actually really good visually outside,..still far better than Mike Stones, PAD etc.., Id love to have at least even a partially working VC

Now thats a nice looking F27 !! Might have to look into that one......................
Where did you get it from ??
Would look really great with an NAC "Wings of the Nation" paintjob !!! ( my favourite era of NZ aviation, NAC's golden years as they were called).

I'll contact you re the Saab when i get back home. Im away for the weekend and using someone else's computer.

Hi, I haven't fired up the sim for awhile but I have the FFG Saab installed, if you want I could try and copy the gauges for you if you know what they're named and send them to you....not sure if it will work though but could be worth a shot?

Posted: **Sat Jun 02, 2012 8:03 pm**

Wow that F27 looks great. Would be keen on that in my hanger sometime. Nice work.

Hey mavman, its the FFS model (not the FFG one) that has the online activated gauges.
Real shame there hasnt been a new payware model huh, awesome aircraft, the F27 too. I have the VirtualCol F50 which aint an F27 but fills the gap ok in the mean time

Posted: **Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:50 pm**

I'l zip up the F-27 and stick it on my msn skydrive tommorow sometime and will post a link when I have ..
