Avsim review of ATR 72-500 for FS-X

[Skybird]

With nice reality-versus-sim comparison photos of the cockpit.

i think it was Chock talking me into the ATR for FS2004 some months ago. i have to agree, it is a formidable package for FS9, and the FSX versions looks exactly the same (they did not redesign it, only made the FS9 version fully compatible). that I am an old Boeing dog and sometime get confused by the layouts of Airbusses and ATR, is not the developer's fault, but mine.

Recommended!

In fact, we had to get ATR approval before we could actually release the title. There were also multiple ATR pilots on the beta test staff.”
