There's actually an official set of KZread videos now (a day late!) with a real ATR pilot demonstrating it. Check out the official Microsoft Flight Simulator channel. Of course as is typical the pilot is showing but not explaining anything :)

You can get the fuel in KG. You need to change this in MSFS under General Options > MISC > Units of measurement and change to 'METRIC SYSTEM' You can then change the EFB in the ATR to read KG as well. Hope this helps

You can switch the aircraft in the EFB too. Also - finally discovered the FOB is in one of the EFIS displays too :)

16:10 For the MFD clickspots the EFB has "display clickspot help" to show you what/where the clickspots are. They look to be designed to emulate the buttons on the center console in an attempt to save you the trouble from having to move the camera back and forth between the buttons and screen, something that probably isn't as troublesome in real life.

Hi Jonathon, Another helpful video. Just wanted to point out that ZFW is everything but the fuel so includes Empty Weight, Crew Weight and Payload (Pax & Baggage). All three are shown on the EFB so you just have to manually add them together. Also FOB (Fuel on BOARD) is shown on the right hand MFD.

Great video. One thing I’ve found when setting up the FMC, when inputting ZFW, FOB and GW, there’s a handy shortcut whereby you can press & hold the LSKs (1-3L) for a second or so and it will automatically fill the field in without having to type the data.

Systems are nice but the flight model is wrong, the plane has no drag, it rotates on his own, can cruise with full flaps (at Idle!), is hard to slow down, floats on ground effect and the nose stays up like a jet fighter when rolling. Please take a look at those issues, being a very visible channel maybe that helps Asobo take notice and fix the drag model asap. Cheers!

If you follow the checklist, you'll be fine - I imagine the warning is either configuration, OR you're overspeeding.

For some reason I lose electrical power if the engines are in idol. Battery is on, external power disconnected, fuel pumps are on, generators on, hydraulic power on. After about 10-15 seconds at idol, electric power cuts off and the "ACW Bus Off" lights come on. If I move the thrust levers out of idol everything goes back to normal. This doesn't happen in the ATR-72. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
