April 25, 20233 yr Twitchy? An ATR?! That's hilarious. No more lumbering pig of a turbo prop was ever built. No VNAV or even a working autopilot? What's even the point of releasing something like this? Andrew Crowley

Certainly doesn't sound like it works correctly. And those are officially acknowledged bugs, not user opinion... This is a big nope from me. Not that I expected much after the Twin Otter debacle, but still... Asobo should have known better than to make "expert level" claims... Andrew Crowley
April 25, 20233 yr I'm holding off on this from what I'm reading here. Yes, the price is great, but you want stuff to work properly regardless of how may features it has or does not have.

April 25, 20233 yr I took the ATR for a spin around Bora Bora... and yeap it needs some work... Some of the issues I found are: lnav magenta tracking, vnav when reaching cruise altitude, unable to set the misapp altitude during a RNAV app (after final app fix) without the plane climbing to the misapp alt, following the takeoff perf on the tablet the plane tendency is to raise nose before reaching V1... but even with all that, it's a fun plane to fly... I'm hoping that all those issues will be a thing of the past in a few months...

April 25, 20233 yr the flightplan format is very similar to the aerosoft Airbus/CRJ. I was able to import simbrief files in those formats that I put into the work folder. Edited April 25, 20233 yr by Tuskin38

And ATR's doesn't have an auto throttle, so you manage the speed yourself.

April 25, 20233 yr I watched a few videos. It looked very touchy (up/down porpoising, lots of PIO) during takeoff and landing. I know ASOBO still has problems in this area, but for a plane like the ATR it really shouldn't. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
April 25, 20233 yr So I took it for a quick ride, manual flight for the most part with some basic AP turns and climbs, just starting up the engines and go. It felt good handflying, not twitchy at all. On contrast I found the CRJ to be much more twitchy. Actually overall it felt just like CRJ-level all over, which for 13 € is absolutely fine. There was nothing that stood out to me negatively, though of course some things might show up when I try a full IFR flight. But as for the overall foundation this is a no brainer for 13€ in my opinion. I also have yet to find a switch that doesn't flip. Also most I flipped had some immediate effect. That said I've never ever been on an ATR in real life, let alone piloting it, so I might have missed some "wrong" stuff. But again, nothing that felt "wrong" in those first 10 minutes playing around with it. Edited April 25, 20233 yr by Fiorentoni For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.

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. Thanks for answering a question that no one asked. 😉

Thanks for this; so we can create a Flight plan in simbreif and export the flight plan in MSFS crj format and we can use that in the Asobo atr? Is this the way? Simon
April 25, 20233 yr After reading all these 6 pages, i hope that Black Bird (Milviz) will continue the development of thier ATR. Real Deraps
