: A previously announced ATR project for X-Plane 11 was abandoned after a failed Kickstarter campaign in 2019. The developers subsequently shifted focus to MSFS. Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums Key Differences: ATR 72-600 vs. -500

(typically around 110–115 knots depending on weight), gently pull back on the yoke to a 10-degree pitch attitude.

Engage the (guarded switch, blue light indicates "Ready").

However, as X-Plane 11 gives way to X-Plane 12 (with its improved weather, lighting, and ground physics), the legacy of the ATR 72-600 remains secure. It stands as one of the most complete examples of a non-jet airliner in any simulator.

Before diving into the simulation, let’s understand the aircraft. The ATR 72-600 is the flagship product of ATR (Avions de Transport Régional). It is a twin-engine turboprop designed for short-haul regional flights, typically carrying 68-78 passengers. Its unique blend of efficiency, ruggedness, and advanced avionics (including the Thales Glass Cockpit and FMS) makes it a favorite among regional airlines like Air New Zealand, FedEx Feeder, and Swiftair.

is currently difficult, as most modern developments are either focused on X-Plane 12 or other simulators. However, there are a few notable projects and alternatives to consider: Current & Upcoming Options SkyCatsLab ATR 72-600 (Upcoming)

The ATR 72-600 bridge represents a massive technological leap from the older -500 series. It replaces analog gauges with a clean, modern layout inspired by the Airbus A380. 1. The Multi-Function Display (MFD) and PFD

The “600” variant introduced significant improvements over the “500,” including better fuel efficiency, reduced noise, and advanced FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control). For sim pilots, this means one thing: , but demands understanding of prop aerodynamics and turbine behavior.

A fully simulated Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) featuring five wide LCD screens.

Set Flaps 15. Release the parking brake and use minimal taxi thrust; the ATR is light and accelerates quickly on the ground. Phase 3: Takeoff and Climb Power Management: Turn the Power Management knob to TO .
