Release

In a Facebook post, Carenado has teased their Saab 340 for X-Plane ahead of the upcoming release. Based on the same aircraft that was released in April last year for P3D and FSX, the S340 will, in the X-Plane market, become a direct competitor to the Leading Edge Simulations Saab 340 that has been around for years and become a much-loved product in the community.

From the screenshots included in their post, we can see a highly detailed cockpit, with high-quality texturing and PBR, with the X-Plane default FMC included on the pedestal. The exterior modeling is to the same standard as the P3D equivalent, as one would expect, and is finished off with PBR to give the model some shine.

No word on a release date or price as yet, but based on past product releases, it’ll be released at a moment’s notice. If you’re in the market for a Saab in X-Plane, check out some of the screenshots below, or head to Carenado’s Facebook page for the full set.

Over on their Facebook page, A2A Simulations have announced the release of their Accu-sim P-40 which has finally been brought over to Prepar3D v4.

The Curtiss P-40 is an American, single-prop, single pilot warbird. It is the third most produced aircraft used in World War II with 13,738 P-40s having been made from the early years of 1939-1944.

A2A’s rendition of the P-40 for Prepar3D v4 is packed with a bonanza of features to entice the old school aircraft fanatic. Notable features include, modeled hypoxia (oxygen starvation), a physics-driven sound environment, designed to be built and flown “by the book”, authentic battery capacity based on temperature and so much more that Accu-sim has to offer. The comprehensive features list is rather extensive, we’ve pointed out more notable features down below but if you’re looking for the full list you can find it on the product page here.

You can grab a hold of the mighty A2A Accu-sim P-40 over on the A2A Simulations online store for $49.99-79.99 (Incl. VAT) depending on the version of Prepar3D v4 you own.
