9 VERY USEFUL TRICKS flying your ATR 72 & 42 in Microsoft Flight Simulator | Real Airline Pilot 

That’s how I always did it in q400

faster way, heading select, it takes less than 20 secs to set the course and switch back to lnav

Good idea! That is a tedious thing to set so I put in the ILS freq in standby and the final approach course before I leave the departure airport. For my older eyes ( I had 20/15 as a young pilot) the altitude and course are tiny and dim!

That's great news, I wasn't aware of that!

Thank you so much! I can also fully recommend Magnars channel, he's a great instructor!

they need to be fixed with next update

I think I found a solution... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lWJrVxHxHS0.html

Works on shutdown swell, you just have to set the chocks after going into hotel mode.

No, they’ll automatically stay at the lower RPM until you bring power up to the notch for a GA. It’s a smart airplane!

@@K0S0s Makes sense!

Can confirm this works for me as well.

This is the way indeed.

The gust lock lever physically prevents you moving the power levers into the take-off position when it is engaged.

@@lcmortensen so if you can't set take off power, take off config can't be OK...

IRL Pilots switch live weather off all the time!, at least I imagine they wish they could. 🙂

As long as you operate the barometric settings not using “B” key, the altimeter and autopilot works perfect

@@FreddyWilhelmsen73 Yeah I'm all good then. I only use B when I panic :)

@@rickharriss If only :)

As far as I could see no, it has to be done in the air.

Ok, that's slightly annoying since I don't assign my condition levers. But just something I have to look down for during my after takeoff flow. Thanks for checking it out. Keep up the good work.

No and no, sorry.

I have this problem as well. I have been cheating by going into reverse thrust a little bit, from time to time. It might not be conventional but it enables me to avoid braking so heavily.

In fact I haven't mapped any other controls, the rest of them I do manually with the mouse.

Look up the "Simhanger Flight Simulation" channel. He has recently done a very complete config guide for the ATR controls. It's for the Honeycomb throttle quadrant, but you can easily adapt it to other hardware. Everything works well on my Logitech throttle quadrant, including reverse thrust.

Thank you, all.

@@Gilles45 Yes, he always has an answer to controls setup.

Look at the charts.

@learjet55c I've found that using the scroll wheel is a good workaround for this issue.

Do you mean the fuelpumps? Shouldn't be a problem if they're OFF, they are usually used to prevent bubbles from building in the lines and help feed the engines during turbulence, rather than being mandatory to run the engines.

@@A330Driver even in the comments we learn with you.

@@A330Driver thanks for providing your real world expertise, knowledge and tips in these videos. As apparent, some of the over-hyped criticisms are really from not knowing the systems and/or procedure to follow. While there are plenty of quirks that need attention like the altimeter problem and NP remaining at 100%, it is nice to see the logic has been coded in once they are triggered. Now just to get them to trigger properly.

@@A330Driver The fuel pump in ATR42/72 is mandatory to run. Fuel tanks have 3 compartiments, the Main Tank, the Feeder Tank and the Vent Tank. The Feeder Tank must always be full to ensure that the fuel feeds the engines in any conditions. When starting engine, the electrical pump supplies fuel to a Jet Pump (venturi) that transfer fuel from main tank to feeder tank. The electrical pump also supplies fuel to the engine HP fuel pump. After engine starts, the extra fuel sent to the engines return to the main tanks and supplies the Engine Jet Pump (venturi ). The Engine Jet Pump supllies the Feeder Tank and the HP fuel pump so the electrical pumps shut of automatically at this time. So many pumps... :D

I never used xbox but have you checked the calibration in the tablet? That's what I'd check first on PC.

Look up the "Simhanger Flight Simulation" channel. He has recently made a very complete guide to mapping controls for the ATR, including the reversers. It's lots of fun slowing the plane with reverse thrust while taxiing!

@@Gilles45 Thank you !

My problem here is I can't find any control action named "Reverser" to assign anything to. I've searched under names to no avail. I have the Logitech Extreme 3DPro.

@@kokoeteantigha389 You have to search for 'reverse'. Turns out holding F2 down (old faithful) did the trick for me.

He literally said that in the video. But wanted to show it anyway

@@sirskyline Well, yes, he (Emmanuel) did. I forgot to express my sarcasm concerning the FSDT support, sorry. "Obviously you did not update your GSX" is one of the most used answers on the GSX support forum. Other answers are: "This is no GSX issue" (issues never are GSX issues, according to FSDT) and "You did not read my answer to your question". FSDT's support is the most annoying support I ever faced. Well, this is not surprising, because GSX is the most annoying MSFS add-on I ever faced.
