April 26, 20233 yr Answer: Real. Very real. Have been flying it all day using the Asobo tutorials but just as importantly the early tutorials by Jonathan Beckett were a game changer for me. Don’t believe all the negative news. It’s #FakeNews. The plane is real, flies quite well and is full of lots of little surprises and nuances.
April 26, 20233 yr Agreed. One of JB's videos today shows just how well it can fly and function. I also noticed that some things being reported as bugs are not, they are just user error. Then again, with no manual, this is to be expected. I will watch the official videos later. I think I will end up flying this a lot. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

April 26, 20233 yr I'm on my fifth flight now. Discovery series really helped to fill out blanks. I understand there could be some inaccuracies but overall ATR flies very well.

April 26, 20233 yr So far I'm quite pleased. It obviously needs patches. The FMS will just error out often, and freeze both FMSes. Only the keyboard and LSKs work in the right FMS, which just seems like a bug, because it looks like it's fully functional. It has issues rendering turns in the nav display, but it tries. The VNAV ALT will descend at 50fpm if you put an altitude lower than what you're at. Takeoff run seems a little long, and the airplane can sometimes just refuse to slow down even with flaps out and at FI, but all of these can be patched. I'd like to see the EFB payload screen turn into an actual payload manager. The CRJ had a superior payload panel. All in all, for day 2, not bad at all. Better than a lot of airplanes in the sim that have been out for months or years. Edited April 26, 20233 yr by mspencer

I had the same thought after completing my first full flight tonight: EIDL-EIDW in the Aer Lingus Regional ATR-72...a flight I've been looking forward to ever since they announced the ATR series. I encountered a bunch of the "bugs" that were raised here and in the official forums only to realize it was actually a reflection of the fact that the ATR systems and procedures are quite different from what I'm used to. It's not a Boeing, Airbus, or Q400. Watching the discovery series videos definitely helped me figure out some things as did a bit of trial and error in the cockpit. The only major thing left that I can't figure out is my inability to bring the condition levers down to fuel shut off, they just keep going back up to feather. Other than that no major issues and I'm looking forward to building some new muscle memory with this really nice regional airliner!

It‘s a seperate button so people dont accidentally turn off the propellers with the axis mid-flight, For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.
