A popular classic choice for X-Plane users. While originally developed for older versions and updated, it delivers a solid visual model and functional cockpit systems suitable for casual to intermediate simmers.

Flying a turboprop requires a different mindset than flying a traditional jetliner like a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320. Managing Torque and Pitch
The ATR 72-600 is one of the most successful regional turboprops in aviation history, and bringing it to life in X-Plane 11 offers a highly rewarding challenge for virtual pilots. Unlike fast, automated passenger jets, flying this twin-engine turboprop requires hands-on energy management, precise throttle control, and a deep understanding of regional airline operations.

One of the most unique operational features of the ATR is "Hotel Mode." Because regional airports often lack Ground Power Units (GPU), the ATR can lock its right engine propeller (Engine #2) in place while running the engine core. This allows the engine to act as an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), providing electrical power and air conditioning to the cabin without turning the dangerous external blades.

This is where X‑Plane 11 excels. The ATR’s propellers can go into (ground fine) and reverse . When you land, you must pull the power levers past the flight idle gate into ground idle, then further back into reverse. You’ll hear the distinct roar of the props changing pitch. In X‑Plane, you can map a button for “reverse thrust” or use a hardware quadrant notches.
Progress reports from late 2025 show that the internal cockpit is fully functional, and a team of is evaluating the systems. Night lighting images have been described as “sensational,” and external visuals are advancing. If this project reaches completion, it will be the first truly realistic ATR 72‑600 ever released for X‑Plane.
