February 6, 200422 yr < Whatever PMDG want to do...it's going to be good... >Very true indeed. I would also like to throw in a vote for a nice CRJ. Then are much more abundant IMO, and would add a nice addition to the commuter line that the B1900 will bring with it. I'm afraid the Dash-8 can't be ignored either.

February 6, 200422 yr Should a Saab340 be developed I'd offer to be a beta tester. I flew one for the better part of 2000 hrs over a 3 year period. We operated it everwhere from Winnipeg's 10000+ ft paved runways to 4000 ft of gravel in the arctic. I think we were the only operator in the world to operate it on gravel as Saab developed a gravel kit for us. It's a great aircraft.Dave
February 6, 200422 yr I beleive Trans West in Saskatoon, who operates a Saab 340, Flys up to Gravel strips up north, they do a lot of min work and they fly alot (weekly) to Key Lake, which is gravelCYXEhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/1900driver.jpg
February 6, 200422 yr Transwest has the 340 "A" model. They've been running them for about 2 years. Calm Air got their 340 "B+" in 1995 and a few years later leased 2 more "B" models. The 340B+ were new and they had the optional wingtip extension - an extra 4 feet. The "B" models were leased fron the USA and they had TCAS - a good one that could see out to 40 miles and +/- 10000 feet.The gravel ops were interesting. In Baker Lake, NWT, the runway is 4200 feet and has a 1.14 degree slope. Doing a circling approach to runway 16 at night in snow, landing downhill, was work. On final you had to stay right on the vasis, no lower, as you were sliding down a hill to the threshold.It really is a great aircrft. So capable. The "B" & "B+" models had larger engines than the "A" - 1750HP and in the event of one inoperative during the takeoff the computer would push the good one to 1870HP and the other would/should autofeather.Be a nice machine to have for FS2004.

February 6, 200422 yr No need for a CRJ, as feelthere (200, 700, 900) and Eurowings (200) are doing one. Feelthere is going to be the better one in my opinion
February 6, 200422 yr Next Express Aircraft..... Saab 340. Next big project... Boeing 777!!!!Ryan Cheers,RyanProfessional Coffee Drinker/BAe146 DriverAircraft Maintenance Engineer
February 6, 200422 yr I too would be happy if they made a saab 340b but would also love an MD-11.Davidhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/61449.jpg http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/61451.jpg
February 6, 200422 yr I would love to see them do the SAAB and 777 as well.... What would be cool for them to do is break the mold and go for a DC10 or MD11...

February 6, 200422 yr Knowing a pilot who at one time flew the Saab 340, it's not really a get in and fly "Express" aircraft, it's pretty complex. Maybe PMDG should go for something more manageable like the Islander.For the next biggy after the 747, which I am really looking forward to, I hope it's not the 777. Why? Because PSS *:-* are making both a new 747 and 777, and I don't know how much inter-continental flying I can take! Plus the 777/747 cockpits are pretty similar, I'd like to "taste" as many different aircraft types/manufactures as possible in flightsim.How about making something that aint Boeing, or even Airbus! Perhaps the RJ100, Fokker 100 or even the Maddog!Paul
February 6, 200422 yr OK, I've got a good idea. If you want something that you can hop in and go, simple on the systems and realitivly easy to fly.....Cessna Caravan Series or maybe a Conquest I or II? PC12?? Jetstream 31??
February 6, 200422 yr I vote for a Saab 2000 and the next big project a Triple Seven! :-ukliamregards:
