April 24, 20233 yr Hey guys, I'm really looking forward to a high quality regional turboprop but I'm not really sure what sort of level to expect. Does anyone have any insight? I've looked at the preview videos and it looks good - but it's hard to tell what sort of detail is simulated and given this is the 'expert series' aircraft, we don't really have any precedent. Does anyone have any more info on this? Are we looking at justflight 146 level, PMDG, or something lower fidelity like aerosoft?
April 24, 20233 yr I'm personally expecting something on the level of the 146. I don't think they will be doing failures or anything like that. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
April 24, 20233 yr Hans, the developer, said on the stream that he wants failures but ATR aren't too keen as they think it may reflect badly on their product. Rob Jones.
April 24, 20233 yr Take care of yourself when turning and slowing down to your final approach and verify you set the correct lever, either the flaps or the condition levers, make no mistakes.

I wouldn't use it as a measuring stick. I think the ATR will be the first official aircraft in the expert series so it will set the bar. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.

Seems like this is the most comparable to what we will get with the ATR. I’m also expecting a price around $35, or $24 if you qualify for the 33% premium deluxe discount.

April 24, 20233 yr I can't wait to have a turboprop back! While I prefer the Q400, this will be good enough to bridge the gap.

April 24, 20233 yr I have to buy this. No choice in the matter because it is currently the airplane of choice for many of the airlines in the Caribbean. I do look forward to Majestic releasing the Q300 more than anything. The Q400 wasn't used here and I'm sick of its popularity lol. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
April 24, 20233 yr Yeah. I like flying in alaska and canada also. But I'll say this. I'm one of those guys who can be ok flying a fictional livery in the "wrong airplane". 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

Because this has to absolutely come from the legal department. Every machine fails. Every aircraft has it's niggles. But considering how reliable aircraft usually are in daily operations, and that you basically never have any serious failures, I think it makes little sense to implement them all.
April 24, 20233 yr This will be great for short evening flights in places like Brazil, the Caribbean, or Indonesia.

Every machine fails. Every aircraft has it's niggles. But considering how reliable aircraft usually are in daily operations, and that you basically never have any serious failures, I think it makes little sense to implement them all. Why should lawyers care about failures of an aircraft? It's clearly the board and probably marketing department that does not want this, for obvious reasons. Selling ATRs on MSFS gains them no money, but if failures in the ATR in MSFS lead to only one (!) aircraft less being sold, it's a multi-million damage. There's absolutely no gain in allowing failures in the MSFS ATR, but a (very) small risk of a huge loss. So why would they do it? Also you seem to forget that MSFS itself forbids external aircraft damage completely for the very same reason. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
