Whilst the S isn't perhaps the best-looking prop out there, it certainly is one of the more unusual airliners that not many developers have recreated, much less to the detail that Carenado has done.Ĭarenado has included nine HD liveries and one blank one for the repainters out there. Loading the aircraft up on a clear day, the work that went into creating this aircraft becomes immediately apparent. The package also contains two models of the Saab the full version and the LITE version, the latter of which does not include a virtual cabin for those running their simulators on older systems or prefer to have a few extra frames. In your simulator's root folder, you'll find a Carenado folder with several PDF documents that detail how to get the best experience, from recommended simulator settings to various checklists and references required to fly the aircraft.

The Saab is beautifully recreated for us to enjoy, from high quality textures to a full set of custom gauges in the cockpit. I've always been impressed by the looks of Carenado's products, and this is no different. Unfortunately due to stiff competition from other regional aircraft manufacturers, Saab terminated production of the aircraft inthough many examples continue to take to the skies today. The aircraft made its maiden flight on the 25th of January and eventually sold close to units, with many belonging to airlines around the world, but also a few chosen to be VIP transports. For this reason, the aircraft is powered by two turboprop engines and optimized for short haul flights. Whilst you might expect a swift and sleek airliner from a company that produced fighters, the Saab was actually designed with primary concerns for economy, due to the energy crisis at the time it was conceived.

In the s, Saab saw interest in entering the market for civilian airliners. T he Saab brand is commonly associated with swift and agile fighter jets such as the Gripen, but much like Lockheed, Saab too tried to venture into the civilian airliner market at one point.
