[May 9, 2023] Expert Series I: ATR 42-600 / 72-600 Update 1.0.8

I just discovered this about “Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust”.

This bug was closed today:

ATR Toggle Reverse Thrust & Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust not Working - Bug Reports / Resolved - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

What I discovered is that the animation for Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust is wrong. When you activate the keybind, the in-sim throttles do not lift their reverse levers and they still move in a forward direction.

This led me to believe that Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust was not working in the ATR.

Well, I just flew it and landed and activated Hold Throttle Reverse Thrust and moved my peripheral’s throttles and, even through the in-sim throttle animation is totally wrong, the engines applied reverse thrust. The props moved into a reverse pitch, the reverse thrust audio played and the aircraft slowed quickly, as expected.

I’ve written this up as a new bug here:
