also the 72 now climbs over 300fpm over fl100 with NOTCH detent and CLB PWR MGT switch

Managed to reach 10500 ft in 7 minutes with GW of about 21 tons. Also managed to get the magenta cruising speed target (note, I forgot to do ALT SEL here) [Screenshot 2026-08-19 012714] [Screenshot 2026-08-19 012849]

can confirm, the ATR-72 can climb and reach cruise speed now.

Yes it seems to climb normally now (realistically slow now).

Hi all. I’ve made a couple of flights with both planes in pax configuration to check their status after last update. I’m no engineer, so I’ve made screen captures and passed them to an efficient AI for analysis and comparison with real data. The result of our small test and long conversation is on the report that follows. Hope this helps to improve this plane we all love. AAU5 ATR 42/72 – quick performance check after the update After the recent update I did a small performance check on both A…

they fixed it climbs very well now [image]

Many thanks to VillaJota for verifying the major improvement Climb and Cruise parameters on the ATR72. I had given up on this a/c. I think there may be some improvement with the ATR42’s power/lift design also. With the ATR72 I was able to almost exactly match VillaJota’s Climb strength numbers with both a/c. The only difference was that my ATR72 Cruised at 210ias rather than 198ias at FL170. With that I got a higher FF, around 300kg/h per engine. My Notch setting might be a little different t…

Did they update this plane? Last time i flew the plane it was very underpowered. Now its reaching the proper table speeds for cruise.

Yes, I’ve corrected my throttle configuration and now my CRZ numbers match the tables. I also get CRZ at 210 KIAS with a torque of 64.4%. So I think that this problem is solved.
