July 25, 20196 yr I recently moved from FS9 to P3D and loved the Flight 1 ATR 72-500 on FS9 How does the new Aerosoft 72 - 500 compare ? Can you put the throttles into the Auto Slot and climb on IAS mode ? all videos I have seen on YouTube show V/S climb which is not realistic and possible dangerous. I will buy it if it is as good and as realistic as the FS9 version. Anybody used both? Thanks Steve Cooper
July 26, 20196 yr As far as I know the Aerosoft ATR 72 is actually a Carenado product. I had the Flight 1 ATR in the FS days and liked it a lot but I have not been tempted to try the Carenado ATR's. For something in that class I now fly the QW Dash 8 Q400 Johan Pienaar
July 26, 20196 yr I don't have the Carenado ATR's but have a lot of other Carenado aircraft. I did have Flight1 ATR though. It is save to say that Carenado aircraft (in general) are in no way study level (or even sophisticated) aircraft. A lot of (very nice) eye-candy but there it ends most of the time. I like Carenado aircraft but only for the purpose they serve. If you want a very good turbo prop, go for the Majestic Q400 (Pro version)http://majesticsoftware.com/mjc8q400/products.html Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro

For P3D you need to switch to the Majestic Dash 8 linked above. It's maybe the best passenger hauler out there. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
July 27, 20196 yr Author Thanks everybody I will be getting the Q 400. Is it worth paying the extra for the Pro version ?

It's got a HUD among other features (not sure on the name of the glass I typically fly general aviation) | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
July 28, 20196 yr You can upgrade from Q400 Pilot to Pro by paying the price difference. Pro version gets you multiplayer shared cockpit, HUD, 125 Hz controls (if you set them up), some failures, circuit breakers, alternate gear, autopilot TCS mode and METAR on the FMS. I've stuck with Pilot edition as I wouldn't use most of those in my routine flying.

July 29, 20196 yr Commercial Member I absolutely miss that Flight1 ATR. Was a quality product. Kyle Weber (Private Pilot, ASEL; Flight Test Engineer)Check out my repaints and downloads, all right here on AVSIM
