You know you are a simmer when you try to change the view angle and realise you are watching a video! I just bought this aircraft, thank you for the demo. very educational.
Funny you chose this as a demo flight. An Aurigny ATR from UK mainland to Guernsey was the flight which took me to my very first job in the UK 16 years ago 😊
You have a fantastic 'story telling' approach to teaching. You should seriously consider a career in teaching. You have a wonderful gift, please share it with the world! Outstanding video. I always come to your channel to learn about new aircraft. Thank you for your continued hard work and perseverance.
Out of all the tutorials and live streams I have seen of the ATR 72/600, one of the best landings I have seen since release. Looking forward to a live stream in this plane from you.
you had the power management set to CLIMB during the entire descent, which may be why you had difficulty decelerating. apparently you leave it in CRUISE after top of climb until gear downwhere you set it back to TO.
TLU stand for Travel Limitation Unit. At airspeeds higher than 185 knots range that the rudder can move is limited so that high airspeeds do not damage it. Below 180 knts you have full rudder movement.
Nice livery 😉 I need to do a little work on it though, some touch ups required, registration on the nosegear doors and need to add a little dirt and grease, but thanks for using it.
About entering the weight and fuel into the FMS: if you long press the keys next to ZFW and fuel the FMS will auto populate the correct values (pulled from the MSFS weight/fuel settings). 👍
Another very informative video from yourself. You have a gift of explaining everything in a simple easy to undstand way. Very useful. I need to watch again taking notes. Thank you very much. This is the number one goto channel for me.
Another awesome product review Capt! FD2Sim pointed out that when power was added there was not much feel of increase in lift as was expected from big props as was experienced in the Q-400 add on. Cheers to you and the 1st officer.
Thanks Cade! I hadn't noticed this yet but I will spend some more time with it. The Q400 does have much larger propellors and more powerful engines so this perhaps increases the impact!
Have you revisited the ATR after it was updated after this video? I found the improvements promising, but had issues with the EFB getting paralyzed with procedures we used to do in the version you are spotlighting in this video. Thanks for being such an enthusiastic and thorough teacher.
I agree, it's a great add on - and such brilliant value too...... Expertly demonstrated by yourself. Your Q400 experience really helps the insight into this great add-on. Others have 'dipped in' but you (as always) - go further. Thank you!!!
I live in Guernsey 🇬🇬 fly on the ATR-72 (as a passenger of course) all the time, its perfect from Guernsey to Southampton, Guernsey to East midlands, Guernsey to Gatwick. They do everything for the island, mail etc and gers us off this very strange island
Would it be possible if you could create a playlist for all ur tutorial videos for the airbus etc for noobs like me? That would be so helpful cos u make a lot of informative and wonderful videos! 😊
Such a good detailed description and explanation of a lot of the screens, buttons and systems. I know things have been updated but this got me going - I have only just opted to purchase these ATR’s.
you can save your Simbrief flightplan including weights and balances in the Aerosoft CRJ format and put the resulting file into the asobo ATR folder buried in the MSFS settings tree (location varies for Steam and MS Store installations), then load it into the MCDU by typing the filename into INIT. it will be missing the destination airfield unless you edit the file to change the arrival approach information from (for instance) I30 to ILS30, R30 to RNAV30, L30 to LOC30 -- or you can simply enter the destination info manually.
TCAS is on the ND, you use one of the buttons down to the right of the seat (near the MAP button) to cycle through the radio pages on the display and one of them shows TCAS options
Are you sure that's what you're hearing? They don't model beta range with this thing. In fact, they don't really even model it as a turboprop. It behaves more like it has jet engines rather than turboprops. It's pure dog water.
I believe the TLU is the Rudder Travel Limitation Unit. Basically, above 185 knots, it automatically restricts the rudder deflection to 50% of it's full deflection, to reduce the load on the control surface. When slowing down below 180 knots, the unit changes the max deflection back so the pilot can use full deflection again as it's deemed slow enough to be safe to do that
For the record, I've found that you can either put the ZFW/fuel into the FMS or set it in the sim weight/fuel panel and then use long press to populate. Both work for setting those numbers in the plane, so I just use what SimBrief gives me since you can never get exact numbers in the sim panel.
Just found your channel recently and I've been loving it so far and am excited to get into this one! Love ur vids/streams so thanks for the awesome content and keep it up!!
It's a great aircraft to finally have in the sim. As you stated, the systems integration seems very good and I love the modelling. Agree there should probably be a little bit of grime but I'm sure that can be fixed in an update. Apparently with the flare and landing, once the mainwheels touch down you need forward pressure to fly the nose down (according to a video by an ATR training Capt). I definately can say for me this will be a firm favourite
Interesting, thanks for the tip! Applying reverse with the nose wheel in the air still can cause it to pitch up, so next time I will be lowering the nose first!
@@320SimPilot pitching down technique has something to do with the main undercarriage being trailing link I think? I'll have to find and re-watch the video I saw it on. I'll post the link if you want to see for yourself...
Also really glad that you highlighted the potential ‘banana skin’ with the fuel. This almost tripped me up on the first flight I did. Not many videos have covered this! 👍
@@CrashEd1664 I learned by my mistake with it! Thanks so much for your comments, I'm looking forward to streaming this one, can't wait to get some time to do it!
You are amazing explaining everything. I feel that you read the questions on my mind. 😂 Certainly, you have a gift. I almost feel that I can fly the real thing. Now, I understand your disclaimer. Thank you very much for letting me enjoy every single step and detail in Microsoft Flight Simulator. 😊
CDLS is Cockpit Door Locking System and the TCAS is right there in the FMC where you set the "Flight ID", on the RK buttons you have a STBY and ON (yours was ON)
I think Start A, Start B and start a+b like ignition left/right/both switch in B738/ In sim we can select any, because we have no durability/maintenance problems. each flight - new factory craft
As an Xbox player, its great to have an acceptably detailed commercial aircraft to fly! I have a feeling im going to end up enjoying this aircraft more than the a320
Thank you for this very thorough review. I found it enormously helpful (not finished yet as I'm taking it slowly). It's clear with all the bugs and bumps which will no doubt be sorted in due course, a lot of the complaints we've been seeing are ignorance of the systems and how to do things, not a fault of the aircraft itself. Having said that, it is to be hoped an update for some of the more obvious things will be not long in coming.
I watched 737MG Driver stream and there were several people complaining about modelling and texturing. I have absolutely no idea why, this looks awesome, from landing gear modelling to labels in the cockpit. Looking forward to fly it on my OnAir airline. I reserved today for playing Jedi Survivor but they bungled the PC port, so I'm going to fly ATR instead :D
Where they complaining about it not looking weathered or something else? I know some people get upset that the aircraft looks new, but for everyone who does there are others like me that prefer the clean aircraft :)
Thanks for the comprehensive tutorial. I was struggling with climb. Right now the only thing bothering me is the constant Oxy msgs I'm getting and cruise target speed not changing.
Glad we have a cool turbo prop airliner finally. I was a huge fan of the PMDG JS4100 in FSX. Safely there are no plans to bring one to FS2020. I am a much bigger fan of the Dash 8’s than ATR but we’ll take what we can get! Thanks for the review!
Fun fact about Flight/Ground idle. The older -500s used to allow the throttles to go to Ground Idle .... then there was a tragedy (shown on the Aircraft Investigation thing on Nat Geo). After that they installed a mechanism to prevent it during flight. This was installed as Standard with the -600s. 😊
Your voice is so calming. You should do audiobooks or podcasts. I also have no idea what you look like and I don't want to know. I have an image in mind.
At SAS/XFly (and BRA as far as Ive seen) we only plug in DC on turnarounds and departures, I've never seen the 400Hz plug be plugged in bar in the hangar.
Great video - really loved it. BTW the document door can be opened fully in the latest version. I have seen somewhere it should be open at several stages for pressurization issues. also I think on the TQ there is a lock (Idle gate) on the Power levers that is moving in automatically inflight to prevent the PLs to go by mistake to GI.
I enjoy watching your tutorials, simple and easy to understand for non pilots. I've a question about the Set Auto/ Manual Speed Target knob, located left of Capt PFD. Unlike A320, ATR doesn't have Auto Throttle. After setting the speed target with the knob, how do you get the ATR to follow the speed target?
Surely the weight and balance section within MSFS should be ignored just like we do with the Fenix? If the aircraft display is showing that we have 2 tonnes of fuel then surely that is correct?
Mid way through watching, as always fantastic videos, your tutorials for the airbus are amazing the level of explanation and depth was fantastic for the curious minds like myself Working at at an airport in Scotland we see a good few airbus’ coming and going, also ATR’s, on mail flights, and soon to be regular passenger services, If no one has answered or unsure; right as the start of the video, the mount under the rear door, I believe can act as a skid to prevent further damage in event of a rail strike but, for my job we know it primarily as the mounting point for the Tail Prop 👍🙂 prevents tail strike during loading and off loading
Could you do a video shoeing how to manage changes in approach? At times ATC assigns different approach than the one required. The FPMS in ATR leaves me flabbergasted. Would be pretty helpful
Great video, you always make time to cover things like the process for handling weights/fuel and throttle calibration which gives us a head start in enjoying the add on. You must have been pleased with the landing - transferable Dash skills perhaps ? Many thanks.
You mention being in notched and not making 240kt's, it looked like you left your pwrmgt in climb instead of cruise right near TOD. could be wrong though but maybe that's why?
Yea, A320 Sim Pilot's reviews are always well researched and well presented. He sold me on a couple of planes like the BAe 146, making them seem very approachable and explaining some of the quirks flying it.
Yes it has some issues but a very impressive aircraft for the price. I have only flown basic visual circuits in it so far. Microsoft Flight Simulator RUclips channel released a great introductory video series to accompany the release
Just watched this again from start to finish and it’s a great vid to get someone like me up and running with this aircraft in the sim. Can I just ask how do you get your playback views of your landing? Would love to playback my landings after my flight
I find the thing with "no devices" both a funny and slightly disturbing story. Because you know they had to find a way not to require that BECAUSE I guarantee you half the passengers give or take would always ignore the requirement anyway.
How does one delete "bad" waypoints on the FMC? My imported flt plan from SimBrief included a couple of fixes that the ATR can't fly, they're off course. The 737 has a delete key for cleaning up routes, but the ATR doesn't. How can the route be modified while I'm still safely on the ground?
How are you ? I hope you are great , I see that you have a lot of experience on the subject, I would be upset to know something that worries me, and that is that I have observed that when these planes are directed, taxiing, they end when they arrive at their destination, and before discharging their passengers, They arrive with only one engine on... is this procedure part of the pilots' checklist, and is it a requirement? Or is this action applicable at the discretion of each pilot? Thanks a lot.😊
Excellent video thanks. I love this a/c even though there are "strange quirks" - I've had VNAV bug out on me twice in the terminal stages but ILS has been solid and regardless - it's *fun* which is what I an here for :-) I think it's clear that your next guest after Katie P on the podcast should be a line ATR pilot....
You know you are a simmer when you try to change the view angle and realise you are watching a video! I just bought this aircraft, thank you for the demo. very educational.
There's something about the proportions of this ATR and the crispness of the model that is just very very pleasing to me.
Agreed!
Funny you chose this as a demo flight. An Aurigny ATR from UK mainland to Guernsey was the flight which took me to my very first job in the UK 16 years ago 😊
Hope you get back to making tutorials Matteo. Your A350 tutorial on X-plane is one of the best! 🙋🏻♂️

You are very kind, thank you so much for these kind words, I really appreciate it. It's an honour to make these videos for you all.
Totally agree with this. Easy to follow and very relaxing and interesting to watch. Keep up the great work!

Appreciate it, thank you! Livestream will be coming when I get the chance!
That was an uncanny landing, I can do that sometimes in the 737 in Zibo with a stronger flight model.
you had the power management set to CLIMB during the entire descent, which may be why you had difficulty decelerating. apparently you leave it in CRUISE after top of climb until gear downwhere you set it back to TO.

About entering the weight and fuel into the FMS: if you long press the keys next to ZFW and fuel the FMS will auto populate the correct values (pulled from the MSFS weight/fuel settings). 👍
That is a great tip!
Does all the weights and fuels not get automatically calculated from the world map thing when you choose your departure/approach airports ?
Brilliant video and learnt a lot about turboprops, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I love the sound of the ATR

TCAS is on the ND, you use one of the buttons down to the right of the seat (near the MAP button) to cycle through the radio pages on the display and one of them shows TCAS options
The Button is called "SURV"
Thanks for the video, big help! Btw, CDLS on the before propeller rotation checklist is the cockpit door locking system.
Back in the early noughties I had the Flight 1 ATR. Hans Hartmann was involved in the production of that one too. Excellent addon for FS9 and FSX.
That landing was BUTTER
...with a leetle bit of lard in between!! 😂
1:29:35 The turbine/prop sounds are wonderful. The RPM and Beta acoustics are mesmerizing to me.
Are you sure that's what you're hearing? They don't model beta range with this thing. In fact, they don't really even model it as a turboprop. It behaves more like it has jet engines rather than turboprops. It's pure dog water.

As someone from Guernsey who regularly travels on an ATR with Aurigny, this was fascinating to watch! Thanks
I've been eagerly awaiting this video 😁

Great video! Really easy aircraft to fly and for the price, it makes it fun to island hop around the channel or through the Greek islands..
Thanks James! Yes I intend to do that soon!
during the BEFORE PROPELLER ROTATION checklist, you skipped setting the speed bugs, which is done by pressing CONFIRM T/O DATA on the PERF page.
Thanks for the tip, another great spot!

Always enjoy and appreciate your videos and accompanied perspective. A fair and measured response. Looks like a ton of fun
Long press on the button for ZFW, FOB and GW. it will fullfill values from the MSFS interface values.
Great info. Thank you so much. I finally understand the power management after watching avgeek and your videos. Great fun for not much money!
honestly, even if you don't have the premium edition for $20 this is a pretty good deal, and it's a steal at 14$
Agreed!
I was hoping you would do this review. Thank you!
You're welcome Calvin!
CDLS is the Cockpit Door Locking System apparently. Panel between the FMCs.
If you long press the soft keys in the weight section on the mcdu. It will automatically enter
Great review, thank you! I sort of understand the controversy around the launch, but i love this plane!
Your voice is so calming. You should do audiobooks or podcasts. I also have no idea what you look like and I don't want to know. I have an image in mind.
he has a podcast
Thanks for the kind words, luckily that is what I want as well! My podcast is on Spotify, 'From Flight Level 320'.
At SAS/XFly (and BRA as far as Ive seen) we only plug in DC on turnarounds and departures, I've never seen the 400Hz plug be plugged in bar in the hangar.

Snagged this for $12 today. Looking forward to flying it.
Ac power isn't used by pilots. It's used for maintenance
What do you use for replays?
Awesome video. Awesome tutorial. How do you set your cameras out of the airplane and how do you record it. Thank you much
Mid way through watching, as always fantastic videos, your tutorials for the airbus are amazing the level of explanation and depth was fantastic for the curious minds like myself
Working at at an airport in Scotland we see a good few airbus’ coming and going, also ATR’s, on mail flights, and soon to be regular passenger services,
If no one has answered or unsure; right as the start of the video, the mount under the rear door, I believe can act as a skid to prevent further damage in event of a rail strike but, for my job we know it primarily as the mounting point for the Tail Prop 👍🙂 prevents tail strike during loading and off loading
Could you do a video shoeing how to manage changes in approach? At times ATC assigns different approach than the one required. The FPMS in ATR leaves me flabbergasted. Would be pretty helpful
Great video, you always make time to cover things like the process for handling weights/fuel and throttle calibration which gives us a head start in enjoying the add on. You must have been pleased with the landing - transferable Dash skills perhaps ? Many thanks.
Why are there two FM nav sources? Are there two independent flight management computers, one for the captain and one for the first officer?
You mention being in notched and not making 240kt's, it looked like you left your pwrmgt in climb instead of cruise right near TOD. could be wrong though but maybe that's why?

Question. When/if you use number 2 engine as an APU. Are you suppose to activate the beacon light as procedure?
Just watched this again from start to finish and it’s a great vid to get someone like me up and running with this aircraft in the sim. Can I just ask how do you get your playback views of your landing? Would love to playback my landings after my flight
„There is not an APU on ATR!"
Now he tells me! :))
Also, at 47:00, it looks like it's getting pretty hot in there! :D
You can access TCAS through the SURV button next to the FMC/FMGC.
Since ATR doesn't have Auto Throttle, how do you maintain VNAV PATH during descent?
fun fact: all the Finnair ATRs had boarding stairs at the front by special request, so that they could attach to the airbridges at Helsinki Vaanta.
I find the thing with "no devices" both a funny and slightly disturbing story. Because you know they had to find a way not to require that BECAUSE I guarantee you half the passengers give or take would always ignore the requirement anyway.
44:04 "CDLS" Cockpit Door Locking System

ATR really fighting back
What happens when you activate IAS mode? Must be always activated?

If you were to purchase/learn just one commuter in MSFS which would you choose? This one looks really nice but I haven't been exposed to many.
My TCA throttles dont seem to have any effect, but i can hear them clicking in the aircraft, any ideas?
