I'll be honest: I've just got the Carenado one for P3D last week, and I'm enjoying it more than the Asobo one. But the Carenado one is a -500, and both are equally as buggy... The -500 is basically an analogue -600. Notch, Auto props, etc. Different FMS, probably a UNS-1 or GTN750, based on my RL experience with them.

January 1Jan 1 I was reading that Just Flight was developing an Avro Lancastrian. Then the alarm clock sounded, and it was time to wake up. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org

Asobo at the time said their "ATR" was going to be complex airliner which probably explains why BB cancelled theirs - unfortunately ATR from Asobo did not meet those expectations.

I had it CD-ROM…🙂…recall the cover too..🙂… It was indeed a trend-setting (payware) rendition of a Turboprop airliner for our SIM. Cheers…!
January 1Jan 1 I'd like to see some of the older stuff: Lockheed Electra, Convair 580, Britannia/CL44, F27/FH227, etc.

January 1Jan 1 My main excitement when I hear people mention the Electra is the possibility of that morphing into a P-3 / CP-140 😀 That plus flying Buffalo Airways Electra ops.

January 1Jan 1 Majestic had an update in June of 2025. They're still working on the Dash 8. I've asked them and yes, they're still working on it.

A MilViz/BlackBird quality ATR would've been a proper propliner, instead of just another barely-supported half-baked Hans Hartmann deal... Heck, they could still just re-labled it the "Professional" version and it'd probably sell well enough. But obviously they're closer to the numbers and disagree 😞 Problem is they frequently let themselves get behind and aren't first to market. Sometimes just by a matter of a few days, but it's rather constant. Which is a shame because they had quite a nice library of Hi Fi addons in FSX/P3D, and now most of that has been released by other devs.
