Did you re-generate an old FP or generate a new one? That's what I did and "Microsoft ATR 42/72" was showing in the list. In the Navigraph forums there was a topic on this. You must generate a FP first.

I did, yes. Not sure what's going on here. Probably my fault somehow. Typical haha

Is this plane at the "casual" level?

I use the Asobo A320neo a lot.

FlightAware for route search -> create route in LNM -> load plane at map screen -> Fly.

Does ATR allow this or is it more complex? Thanks for any info.

You cannot use the map screen to load a flight plan, you either have to do it manually or create one on simbrief.

Looking forward for the fix against the freezing, when it happens it spoils all the fun unfortunately. And it happens often when I am playing with the MCDU.

further to my nosewheel saga, be advised that i was using GSX pushback, which is now my chief suspect as far as disabling the nosewheel is concerned.bah...

is the Asobo ATR RNP capable? i flew an RNP approach which went rather poorly (descending way below glideslope), and i'm wondering if that's because RNP simply isn't supported, or if an RNAV would have been just as disappointing.

does anybody know if the real aircraft has a descent banana?

Is vnav working ok for the descent?

Yeah, I re-downloaded the program about 5 times and installed it 5 times. I am not seeing the ATR on there......odd. Its the correct version that you stated.

Re-generate a new FP or edit and re-generate an old FP. That's what I did.

edit: double reply. should be deleted.

I am trying to get my first flight going. I got as far as turning on the Battery & Ext. Power, following the checklist. I turned the NAV Lights on and after that my Mouse click spots stopped working. I am able to click on the EFB menus, but as with all the switches and buttons, the click spots are not working. Maybe just a glitch. I'll close the sim down and restart and see what happens.

This is strange, to me anyway. I successfully imported a FP, EIDW to EGHI. Everything looks OK except when I try to input my Departure and Arrival SIDS & STARS. The SID can be entered, no problem but my arrival EGHI does not show in the flight plan. So when I try to add it, I get a yellow "Not in Database" message. What database is the FMC using? I thought the Navigraph database AIRAC cycle I have, would override the MSFS database. Even so the fact that EGHI is not in the MSFS databse, does not make sense. Maybe I am not entering the FP properly. For the "FPLN INIT" page there are 2 choices, "ROUTE" & "SEC INIT". What does "SEC" stand for?

SEC is secondary flightplan. It's possible the ATR is not able to fully process the generic MSFS nav data (even updated by Navigraph), I've had all stars missing too on my last flight to LYBE.
I've heard navigraph is working on a standalone nav data format for the ATR (like for any other payware airliner) which would solve those problems. Until then you have to work around these things.

That's good news! Thanks for resolving "SEC" for me. But I don't know why a popular airport like Southampton (EGHI) would not be in the database. I guess I could still fly the route, except no arrival data, since EGHI does not exist in the database.

Did you load a flightplan or did you enter it all manually? If the former, the missing arrival airport is a bug, you can workaround it by clicking the left LSK on the last waypoint and then click on "arrival".
If the latter, then did the error already appear on entering "EIDW/EGHI" on the init page?
