Known issues:
- Engines may fail to start manually if you have a hardware throttle panel. Just cheat by using keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+E" for cold and dark start in case you can't.
- "Ignition" and "Pitot no heating" warning keeps on whether you keep those switches on or off.
- Make sure both the left and right engines are running properly if you start simulation directly on runway. Sometimes one of them is out.
- There are BREAKING CHANGES to liveries since WU5, please change the last line of model.cfg for all your liveries:
interior=../../atr726/model/KINGAIR_350I_interior.xml
To:
interior=../../Asobo_KingAir350/model/KINGAIR_350I_interior.xml - If cockpit textures are not loaded properly for custom liveries, modify all the entries in texture.cfg as below:
fallback.1=..\..\..\..\texture\Gauges
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\texture\Lights
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\texture\DetailMap
fallback.4=..\..\..\..\texture\Glass
fallback.5=..\..\..\..\texture
fallback.6=..\..\..\..\texture\Wipers
fallback.7=..\..\atr726\texture
fallback.8=..\..\Asobo_KingAir350\texture
* Please DELETE the old version everytime before installing a new version, and read the FAQs before raising a complaint or question *
This is a total remake of ATR72 for FSX by Virtualcol, which was released as payware initially. Animations and flight dynamics have been reproduced from scratch, ground interactions have been added, and all the lights have been made working. It can be cosidered a native FS2020 aircraft rather than just a converted model, and no more "_CVT_" folder would be generated.
The adaptation of the mod is done under formal permission from Virtualcol FS Software®:

FS2020 converted version initially done by Capt22
Youtube (Channel:MultiGamer 0822) / Discord
The old version by him can still be downloaded here in case you need. There are several breaking changes for liveries, but you can convert them using the converter provided in the download page. (NO GUARANTEE for successful conversion). You can still use the paintkit from virtualcol for creating new textures, but the file extensions have been changed from ".dds" to ".png.dds"
Thanks to marajin for helping to improve the flight dynamics.
As MS already announced that there will be a new payware ATR series released next year, I was thinking about the future of this mod. I've decided to put the codes (without 3D models and textures for copyright restrictions) for this mod to be managed by GitHub, which allow all of you to submit your improvements, but you are advised to have test flights in challenging airports like Paro and Toncontin to prove the performance of your modifications. Here are the repositories of the mod and the converter:

I think is time for your product to look even better with the release of the Asobo one. To implement the real cockpit in your a/c.
Kudos!!!!

This is really embarrassing, coming from once a top-line MSFS2020 contributor. Now you just made the list with Captain Sim.

Please explain to me why this site is being accused of IP theft and other bad behavior!
The text says the original payware firm authorized fs.to to create this add-on. The text also acknowledges Capt22 as the original FS2020 conversion author. I have seen no indication that Capt22 is objecting to this version done by fs.to.
What am I missing here that is causing all the angst?

The mod was stolen from the original mod developer (after they deleted it from this site) and the site reuploaded it under their own name. No consent was given by anyone.

Way to go for stealing other creators' work. This site was once a simple one-stop shop for anything and everything MSFS, and always felt like it was by the community, for the community. Now it feels like a cash grab, with no goal in mind other than $$$. After it started going downhill, it seemed like every change was in no way directed at improving the customer experience or the ability for creators to safely and comfortably share their hard work, and instead only to help FS.TO get more and more money.

Theft is simply that - theft! I actually wanted a premium service to speed up downloads and mostly to get rid of ads. No way I'll sign up now.

Had signed up for your premium service but only for a month. Looks like that was too long. Very dishonest not to even credit the individual author. I suspect this move will bring a wholesale revolt.

This is not your mod, nor do you credit the person who spent hours on this freeware mod. You are going against the people that made this website great. Shameful behaviour.
