Always check the "X-Plane 11" box during installation. While ATRs work in X-Plane 12, some legacy versions are built specifically for the X-Plane 11 flight model.
The ATR uses a specialized FMS that requires careful initialization for accurate vertical and lateral navigation. atr 72600 x plane 11
: Recently announced a progress update for their ATR 72-600, with a release targeted for 2026. They aim to provide a "high-fidelity 3D model" with in-depth system functionality. Always check the "X-Plane 11" box during installation
No simulation is perfect. Even the best ATR 72-600 for X-Plane 11 has limitations. The simulation of the beta range is often simplified; real ATRs have a more nuanced feel of the power levers hitting mechanical gates. Additionally, the effect of ice accumulation on the airfoil—a critical real-world concern for a high-wing turboprop operating in clouds—is only partially modeled in default X-Plane 11 weather. Finally, the frame rate cost of the detailed 3D cockpit can be high on modest systems, due to the number of custom instruments and animations required. : Recently announced a progress update for their
