Ian Pearse 12 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The Flight1 ATR 72-500 has been on my wish-list for a while - got one for free when I renewed my PC Pilot subs. Immediately added the Andras Meridian livery, of course. Not that I'm qualified to fly it yet, but I'll get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pearse 12 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 I need to lock myself away with the manual for a week or so... then again, I could do my usual thing and just jump in, try buttons and switches at random and see what happens..

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Kick the tyres light the fires, its the only way to be. If something beeps or a horn sounds flick randon switches til it goes off. Then your good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it myself once for making a review of it. didn´t have it installed, as I forgot, but luckily your post reminded me, and now its back in my FSX hanger, so Thank you. Only problem with it, is that in exernal view, clouds will appear in front of the propellers..., and that ruins every illusion of it being an aircraft, but as long as you stay in the cockpit - its a blast. Have you tried Majestic Software´s Dash8-300? its also a very nice aircraft in the same area as the ATR - and it even has the same clouds-in-front-of-the-propellers problem... but is more complex than the ATR, simulates lots more - but is a little expensive. (the most complex version is about €200 I believe - the "standard" version is around €50, but its a great great aircraft - really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobus 161 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Agreed, very nice plane, flies good and once you get the handle of her systems its a delight to fly. One of my fav propliners, with only thing against her being an upgrade from the FS9 model, resulting in the prop-behind-cloud thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I printed out some of the manual today, planning to do a test flight at some point this week. If you find some new holes around Andras somewhere you'll know the test didn't go well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks Mirko, great for priming engines! Its way too good to use for priming engines. I use to strip paint off airframes , but it also gets you really drunk if you drink it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
