    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

MSFS2024 Saab S340B FMC workaround

SOH-CM-2026
I bought the Premium Deluxe version especially for the Saab S340B, only to find the I can't program the FMC and it won't import flightplans from Simbrief or the default flightplanner.
Fortunately, I own the PMS50 GTN750 Premium which works perfectly with the S340B and I use the toolbar pop-up GTN750 instead of the buggy FMC/Autopilot in the S340B.
For any other PMS50 GTN750 Premium owners out there, and TDS GTNXi owners, here’s the basic procedure:

Create and save/export your flightplan in Simbrief or the default web flight planner.
Set your initial altitude on the S340B main panel.
Click Accept on the S340B FMC pos init screen.
Launch the GTNXi app or the PMS50 GTN750 Toolbar panel.
Click Flight Plan.
Click Menu.
Click Import.
Click Import from Simbrief or Import from sim ATC as required.
Click OK.
Click the first waypoint after Take(off).
Click Activate Leg.

The flightplan is now imported and active in the S340B FMC, you can now close the GTN750/GTNXi and continue to use the FMC and other avionics as normal.
