They aren't being too hard. It's the sim being hard on you. The ATR is also. It's one of the most complex/realistic add ons you can put in the sim so naturally it's going to take a lot more to fly it than a default Cessna or even a default Boeing. I have a pilot's license but I spent hours studying the manuals and many more hours practicing to be able to fly the ATR. Once I learned however it's one of my favorites to fly by hand. About all I use the AP for is long distance cruise.

You need to learn to fly these planes by the numbers.Even if you don't want to read everything.. Check their approach profile. What should the torque Needle (25? 30?) read for a precision (ILS) approach... what is the stall speed for a landing configuration. Dirty (Gear out and fulll flaps). Add 30% to it. Now that speed should be your approach speed.When you descend.... you would hear the numbers... 40, 30, 20, 10... For each landing..try to flare at 40...see if that works.. next time try to start the flare at 30... write it down...The next time.. just do that... and you will have a nice consistant landing.Manny
