ATR 72-600 engine failure procedure - YouTube

I've heard that currently the props don't autofeather?

There are no failures modelled on the ATR, so they probably didn't model anything that comes after a failure either.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Ah 😒 ok...

But is it at least possible to feather a prop?

I think it is safe to say you should not consider this aircraft as I suspect you will never be happy with it.

🤣

Even for the sake of installing / uninstalling it in a row? 🙂

Well... uninstalling usually takes next to no time at all as opposed to when installing the thing so at least there is no considerable time lost there... 😉

That said. I rather like it. I do believe it has a 'feathered mode' when you start the engines and put the 'condition levers' (the correct term is probably something else.. 😉) in that detent. But to what extent this is simulated I don't know.

One thing I've been thinking about is if it is correct that an ATR72 with, say, 50% load will start moving at idle with the 'condition levers' in AUTO. On yesterdays flight I really had to use the brakes for it to not run away from me while taxiing. 

... might be something else I've done wrong. ATR is a new experience for me to say the least.

As far as I could tell from RL operations youtubes, that's realistic 🙂 the YouTube channel linked above from a RL atr instrutor has examples...

Yes, the condition lever has a FTR position, if that is what you mean (I'm no expert on turboprops).

Yes, that's normal apparently.  You will find a lot is different in the ATR. I quite like it for that.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

I really like this plane myself. The low price kinda scared me & I thought it would be junk considering the price but so far pretty darn good plane. Plus I had Hans ATR from FS9 that ported over to FSX back in the day from flight 1. Just as good as the old ATR 72-500 from back in the day as far as I am concerned.

Really enjoying it as well, The first day or so takes a bit of time to get the head around it's systems and quirks... But once understood i have been enjoying a lot of regional flights from the Channel Islands to various airports on the mainland , and France.
