Title: Which Class 2 plane do you like??
Post by: EHM-2089 Vincent on April 18, 2007, 02:49:57 pm: This is just a kind of survey, Class 2 planes of Euroharmony are Dornier 120 and Saab 2000. This is a kind of survey I am trying to do, tried to put a poll here, but could not figure it out. So what needs to be put here .... Your favourite plane among the two and may be why, and also mention with what to you play.

Ok my vote is for the Saab2000, I find it extremely controllable and a joy to play.
I play with the keyboard

Post by: EHM-2089 Vincent on April 19, 2007, 02:54:10 pm: Hmm Javier, I have had some not so good with the Dornier, though I like the plane for speed, I find landings really easy with Saab. But you have given your 1 1 vote ...

Those of you that have already expressed an opinion, please do so again...

Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on April 19, 2007, 07:02:33 pm: I've voted for the Saab, it's a great looking plane in the new livery and a good, detailed model with nice panel.

Although I still prefer the ATR-42 (just to be controversial ;D)

Dominic, you have been a little controversial, but my heart beats for the ATR. Its an awesome plane. I just love that plane. If anyday I get a chance to fly a real plane, I would choose the ATR.

Post by: EHM-2089 Vincent on April 26, 2007, 05:10:10 am: The polls till now - Dornier (2), Saab (7), No Strong oopinion for either (4), - with these results - Saab still leads the race with 7 v/s 6 votes. I think next time I should reserve my vote and vote after atleast 10 people vote :>

So after that I will know whether my hidden vote was for the majority or for the minority of the Lot. Common guys all of you have flown these planes ... start polling!!!

Post by: EHM-2103 Brandon on May 08, 2007, 09:19:55 pm: I'm gonna go Saab 2000. The flight model for this one is excellent. Love the extra features too. Haven't used the Dornier for any counted flights yet.

Post by: EHM-2143 Tommi on July 25, 2007, 11:50:16 pm: Actually havent fly em yet, so bit offtopic but i have a question.
Saab2000 is indicated as Class 2 plane in fleet, but when you download and start to install it says:

"EuroHarmony Saab 2000
EuroHarmony v4 Fleet
FS2004

This is a Class 3 aircraft. You can fly this aircraft on EuroHarmony VA routes, if your rank is at least STC."

Just to be sure i wont fly wrong plane while im ST only.
Thanks.

Don't worry, The Saab used to be Class 3 but was downgraded to Class 2 when we re-introduced the ATR72-500. The installer package wasn't changed though sorry for the confusion! You can fly her when you get to Class 2!!! Watch her though, she is a powerful plane, can be a bit like a Jet fighter at first!

Post by: EHM-2089 Vincent on July 30, 2007, 07:09:24 am: I must agree on the fact of the power of Saab 2000. I cannot ofcourse feel the push on my chair because of the G force that would come when I push the throttles!!! but then my eyes can see the power in which it pulls out to take off, or when you just need that immediate power when making a flatter landing and you realize that the ground is much closer than that you thought it was and ... a push on the throttle and it eases the descent to make a soft landing (less than -200ft/min)

Post by: EHM-1671 Ben on July 30, 2007, 09:48:48 am: I'd definitely reach for the Saab on a C2 flight! I like the Dornier also but not as much - I really don't know why ;)

Post by: EHM-2089 Vincent on July 31, 2007, 04:17:29 am: I think its all got to do with the handling. I was trying my hands on a POSKY 737-800, for some reason I found the controls too stiff and the plane could not be easily controlled with the keyboard. At the same time, a 737-400 series or 737-200 could be easily controlled and would respond to my keyboard inputs. Jets do have a know problem of power-spooling, which takes around 7 seconds before the power feedback is felt.

as for the Saab, I think controlling it is really easy, The Dornier, does good on controlling, but not as nibble as Saab, Thats where the german scores really more!!
