Oooh, no need to switch on the overhead panel? I don’t love that.
Rest of the update sounds sick. Nice job guys -

Should be just aft of the condition levers? Not on the sim, but it’s down there somewhere… pedestal behind/aft the condition levers.

For me external power worked as expected. Had to enable in efb and then toggle the button on ohp.
I think if some one doesn’t restart the sim after the update, the plane shows inconsistent behaviour, for me for a moment it seemed like the prob brake logic is fixed, which actually isn’t, but due to the inconsistency it seemed like it. Once i restarted the sim, it was all normal, i.e prop brake logic same as last version.

Sweet thanks. These ATR threads have been a wealth of good info and good vibes with people helping each other out - cool culture around this plane. Thankful to the devs and all thread contributors! I really like flying it.

Reading the list of fixes, am I right in thinking that they didn’t fix the issue with the MCDU freezing, but instead just disabled the ability to manually enter airways? Because I can say right now with 100% certainty that this wasn’t the only cause of the MCDU freezing. I really hope I’m mistaken and I’ve missed something

What does this mean
- Added support for split TAT/ALPHA and PITOT/STATIC lights

I also got the same behavior with the ATR 42 using the calculated TO trim.
Before this update, I just took about 0.5 nose down from the calculation and that seemed to work too.

There was an interview with Hans that mentioned a simbrief/navigraph integration is on its way.
However, I have no issues downloading the FP from the simbrief downloader. At least that works well enough.

Anyone else with something similar?
Reached cruising altitude minutes ago, but the ND thinks the top-of-climb will be achieved much later. I noticed this since the release. Am I doing something wrong or is this an error in the calculation?

i think TOC calculation error

I watched a video (real world) and the flow he used was lsk for current gps - that put it in yellow on init pos then click sensors init and it went green (shrug)

I know I was going a bit mad for a while toggling ground power back off instead of on until I noticed this!
It doesn’t do it on C&D startup, for some reason it did after landing while a the gate. Maybe I hadn’t toggled GND POWER switch off on OHP before departing previous airport so it remembered the previous switch state or something. It works fine on C&D start as I just checked.
There is a new delay too I think between pressing the EXT power button and ext power powering panels up. Seems like a realistic effect not being instant.
Quite happy with this patch so far. Just need to check VNAV which is different. There’s a VNAV(V/S) mode which I hadn’t encountered before which just shot me straight through my target ALT and kept going! Needs further flight time to assess VNAV though.

He got birdsh1t on the windows and it’s permanent basically.

In the pedestal just below the flap lever. If condition levers are in fuel shutoff position, it’s hard to spot.

Maybe it’s based on the 245 speed in magenta.

Impressive patch, thanks to MS and Hans. Still assessing but I just finished my first test flight and thankfully, the ‘toggle reverse thrust’ command is back which I do prefer. Unfortunately reverse thrust is far too powerful and the first time I used it I wheelied the thing with a tail strike. Mind you, it did stop within 200 ft or so, making this the perfect large bush plane

Just did 2 short flights. ToC was correctly achieved based only on STD. Only issue was when I tried to set VNAV on in the cruise. It then flashed up VNAV/VS for a few secs and then reverted to ALT. When I then started to wind down my alt select the tod marker started to move back as I reduced alt pre-select. I gave up on that and went into VS to start descent. I carried on setting alt target to platform alt and at some point the path marker appeared. Switching to VNAV engaged it but it did not acquire the path. I had to VS below the path and then when I set VNAV again it held and continued correctly down till I took a/p off.
My lesson? DO NOT engage VNAV until I see the path marker appear, it’s fine to pre-select but “step away from the vnav sir”…
Aside from that - all good for me - no auto rotate and the cockpit switches were set correctly on entry, Will do proper flights tomorrow but I see this as a very positive step forwards.
