In a suprize to everyone, SCVA also released the new GMAX model of the Saab 340B for FS2002. "The Saab was pretty much an in house undercover project for our pilots. We had some bad experiances with some of the earlier versions of the plane and wanted something we had a little more control over. Its been in service for a few days now and seems to be holding up well. We expect to release a few modifications for it within the short term future. Since it was created in house, it is definetly a VA first. We pride ourselves on bring both our passengers and our crews new and exciting technology." Tighe also said.
