First off the few times I've used it and it hasn't crashed, I have loved this plane. However more often than not the plane has crashed on me on starting a flight. My question is why would this plane crash so much, and planes like the CS757 which is harder on my PC than any of my other add ons, not crash hardly at all?

That was the only plane I really had to fly now with a default airplane then once on the ramp change to the atr. Great airplane wish they updated it more for FSX and gave proper virtual cockpit night lighting.

What operating system are you using? I had some minor difficulties with the F1 ATR on 64-bit operating systems, which ended up needing a very basic fix to get going correctly.The F1 ATR apparently uses some C++ libraries which are not installed by default on Visa64 or Window7-64 machines. I believe you only need the 32-bit C++ library linked below, but for completeness sake I installed both of the linked files to make sure I had all the bases covered. 32-Bit Redist 64-Bit RedistIf you're NOT using a 64-bit operating system, then I am afraid we'd need some more details as to what you have and what kind of errors you are seeing. Good luck!-Greg
