Editorial

This FS2004 take on the Carpatair Saab 2000 is a very impressive model, especially for a simulator well over a decade old. Pushing its very foundations to the brink, this is about as impressive a design as you are going to get in the cut and dried, solidly shaped world of FS2004. For the reason, many people find this to be one of the best mods they have installed – it’s an FSX quality design in an older simulator.

A Detailed Recreation

Adding a colorful and cheery plane to your list of options is one thing – this is also usually a chance to enjoy a new kind of aircraft. With the large logo emblazoned on each side with the specific green coloring making this quite an interesting aircraft to look at, I immediately noticed how detailed the textures were. The text feels crisp and realistic, rather than the flat, blunt option that many decide to go with.

The Saab itself is a well-respected turboprop engine with a pretty impressive flight capacity when used in the right way. It took a long time to create, though, as high-speed turboprop aircrafts were a major problem in that era. However, the Saab broke the mold and set the expectancy and the standard for just about turboprop to come after it.

Great Learning Opportunity

For this reason, I am a huge fan of this take on the Saab 2000. It feels like flying a little bit of aviation history, acting as one of the most impressive aircraft of its era. By using a Rolls-Royce engine, too, this leaves you with an aircraft that feels very powerful when flying. I felt pretty taken aback at times with this, such is the depth and precision of the development behind the scenes. Many simulator aircraft feel like simulations, but this is a very forceful yet rewarding aircraft to master.

Today, the aircraft is still in use by the Pakistan Air Force as an early warning and control system aircraft. I spend a fair amount of time in FS2004 flying over various different parts of Pakistan in this aircraft, recreating that activity. For me, it’s sheer quality and consistency in the skies means that role playing with this model is a very easy – and fun – thing to do.

If you are looking for an easy way to make your enjoyment of FS2004 come around again, be sure to give this Saab a try if you already haven’t.
