My only concern with low quality payware is that it might stop the creation of high quality payware.

Milviz might've made a fantastic ATR if this one hadn't been made first.

They also might have cut corners on the systems again.

The ATR EFB is black and the plane is dead...

PMDG 737-700/900 freeze the whole sim..

Fenix A320 EFB Black "Unable to connect".

A310 different issues .. sometimes not importing flight plan yesterday the power setting was 50% and moving throttles didn't do anything. '

Flybywire A320 can't power on...

GSX pro not working, pending.

Headwind A330-900 working fine

Leondardo Maddog working fine

Something happened in February, Think it was a windows 10 /64 update that did something. everything has been a mess since... 

 

All the best

Well bought it and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I've never flown an ATR, nor have I ever flown on one that I can recall (I used to drink ALOT), but this thing is quite believable. I figured for 14 bucks (12.99 + tax) if I like it great and if not no big loss. Best word not allowed $14 I've ever spent - I'll get hours of enjoyment out of learning the systems and it has some really unique features/functions that are different from say the PMDG 737, but fun to learn. On my meager system the synthetic vision and terrain displays result in a bit of a drop in fps, but I suspect a more robust CPU would solve that problem. I would say overall better than the CRJ, and less than a third the cost...is it PMDG grade - don't know yet but it certainly has the potential. At $20 it would still be a steal!

It s a typical Hans Hartmann, not perfect but much character. Hans allways needs ages to fiinish a project. Maybe Asobo took it away too early - if they had left it to Hans only 5 years longer, it would have been much better :-) 

I like it - also without working circuit breakers.

Yes, same thing for me. I was trying to enter a route by hand and it locked up. All of the other screens in the cockpit became unresponsive too. 

Same here. One FMC is locked on the Frequencies and the other Weight.  Really disappointing.  Was hoping this would at least be up there with the old Flight1 ATR72-500...but so far it's buggier. Glad I only paid $13.

5 flights so far no problems. The only negative thing is my honeycomb bravo knobs don't work at all

Cheap though the ATR is, I think I might put the money towards the AzurPoly Transall, due out possibly this week. A different beast, but maybe less disappointing.

I also noticed my hardware knobs (aka my CH throttle) won't do anything for HDG and CRS - I had to use my mouse for manipulation.

Do you need LNAV and/or flightplans? Because the Transall won't have those.

Two of the handcrafted airports added in the world update, NTTB and NTTM have Friday ATR flights between them, the ATR even comes with Air Tahiti liveries used on those flights.

According to the manual Flight Plan support will be added later.

I have almost 1/2 dozen planes that I never fly anymore already. I am just going to focus on the 5 I fly all the time now and stop buying aircraft that I will fly once or twice, and then put in storage. 

Yep, same here. And for me it's unfortunately almost all of the stuff that's been released by MS/Asobo.

Same with GoFlight gear.  Interestingly my MCP PRO will display the heading, altitude etc but turning the knobs does nothing.

Let's see how that will work out.

FSS Embraer - released basically as a re-skin of the Asobo A320, months later, they're only barely implementing their "custom autothrottle," we'll see what that means because there haven't really been promo shots. Airplane still has inexplicable engine failures. Cost: $30

ATR - came on release days with, yes, some bugs, but only one big showstopper I've seen. Performance is lovely, airplane flies great, systems need a little work and the Payload tab on the EFB really is quite useless, but I think there's a lot of potential with patches. Cost: $12.99 or $20

The ATR is getting way too much negative attention here. There are far worse examples. I'm expecting the Transall to come out and basically never see the custom LNAV they're planning.

Lol maybe they’ll let him publish a BTR later 🙂
