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

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

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:

the plane totally sucks. You lose control of the plane immediately after takeoff. stalls immediately. beyond the crap.

Start it from cockpit

Great plane.
Except for the already known error in the engine start display, everything works great.
It is SU11 compatible.
thanks for that

How is the correct setup of this aircraft? I uploaded it to the Community folder but the plane doesn't show up
Quassel89 15 day(s) ago
I don't really know what you mean, I just downloaded it and put it in the community folder.
Everything works...

why don't we have wings, nose and fuselage in interior view (I am in VR) ? https://ibb.co/PxDsgpp : That is what i see when i translate view from cockpit. in exterior view it is ok.
CaptainEnjoy
There is already LDG/TAXI lights but those doesnt see in cockpit view? Those you can see only exterior camera.. Any fix for this?

When I depart the aircraft is extremely sensitive and ends up in a 40 degree climb and ends up stalling hopefully you can fix it in the next update
Hans1593
would be nice with 3D wing views

Some one needs to fix this

Il est strictement impilotable ! Etrange !!!
Fettuchini
The center gear bounces a lot in the landings, the plane is imposible to land
The flaps dosen't fork in some moments
PilotOJE
Release a new version without the stall as its ridiculous
XaveN

On a long flight from KOAK to KMCI, I spent some time playing with camera views and controls, and have made the following observations on the ATR-72 600:
Overall Impression : The ATR-72-600 is flyable, but until/unless the developer installs a proper ATR-72 cockpit and interior model, I would stick with the default Beechcraft King Air if you want to fly a twin turboprop. You don't have to wonder if the instruments and the flight model are actually matched up properly. Not being able to move the POV cockpit camera outside of the airframe and see an actual ATR-72 is a disappointment.

I've just recently uploaded a lighting fix for this aircraft. You can also download the grey cockpit mod that removes the Beachcraft logos from the overhead gauges. Will continue to look for ways to improve the aircraft.
Unfortunately, there is a lack of turboprop commercial airliners in the game at the moment. It's basically this one, the CJ4 version of the ATR (which I don't think feels like a turboprop at all) or the Dash-8 also with the CJ4. I think this is, honestly, the best of what is offered at the moment, especially with the fixes. Even though it does have its flaws.

Despite of having carried out the suggested changes in the model and aircraft cfg the plane is not possible to maintain normal airborne.
