[msfs2024] atr 42-600 / 72-600

[Luvbeers]

There are some options in the EFB that deal with A/P disconnect, limits and sensitivity.

Is normal, SIM Update is only for Core Aircraft Update (Standard, Deluxe and Premium)

Aviator is just bundle with all Expert, Famous Flyer and Local Legend Series Aircraft, is not base/default aircraft.

BTW, SIM Update Beta get only Standard Aircraft Update, with zero change list but update is already available.

The real one disconnects when a certain force is applied to the pitch or yaw axis, but can’t be disconnected by applying force to the roll axis.

If it is using the default MSFS autopilot logic, the autopilot can be overruled by manual input which is absolutely impossible in real life.

It is physically impossible to steer through the autopilot, either you are in control or the autopilot is, but not both at the same time.

The default MSFS autopilot behavior has been borked from FS2020 initial release. If you apply input to the roll axis, the aircraft follows your command but the yoke will roll opposite by the autopilot which makes no sense at all…

I’m not sure if this mickey mouse implementation applies to the ATR, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

The solution is so simple, just ignore manual input completely below lets say 50% input, when exceeding this limit, trip the autopilot offline (and specifically for the ATR, completely ignore input on the roll axis with autopilot on).

I think this would solve a lot of issues users have with deadzones not set correctly or sticks not completely centering. And it would mimic real world behavior much more closely.

Bug logged for many years…

Completely flawed autopilot logics

Are you on Xbox, Steam or Microsoft Store version? Answer: Steam Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it? Answer: No Brief description of the issue: The autopilot logics are still completely wrong. When autopilot is engaged and giving inputs on the roll axis, the aircraft follows the roll input (ignores the AP) while the AP is steering the in-sim yoke fully in opposite direction (without aircraft response). This is obviously completely wrong. The flight control surfaces are …

Early FS2020 footage, but still applies to this day, manual input to the left with AP on, aircraft rolls to left, autopilot moves yoke to the right…

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2021 09 20 12 25 07 02

Edit: it has the same ridiculous behavior. to be clear the aircraft is flying straight using manual input while the AP is rolling the yoke full left. It makes absolutely no sense…

So how’s the update today??

[xxxCYCOxxx]

I know there’s an upcoming update but I currently can’t fly current version, cockpit doesn’t come to life and throttles etc aren’t animated. Can quick start with [R1+Dpad Dwn] and it flies but no instruments. PS5 version. Initially when I recently bought the aviator upgrade when I clicked on it I got an error message saying something is missing, didn’t the error message today but issues still persist.

AAU4 doesn’t appear to be released yet. Or if it is, there’s nothing about the ATR unless this means “AAU4 is partly released minus these aircraft that we’re still working on”

SU5 and AAU4 are not the same thing. We are still waiting for some of the aircraft updates.

[cutchemist42]

Right but I thought today was supposed to be the AAU4 update?

[TheSupercalle]

Yeah, but they haven’t said when today… so we just have to wait I suppose.

[Speedbrake22]

Anyone got the atr update yesterday?

[mijoe74]

No. The ATR wasn‘t released

Aircraft & Avionics Update 04 (AAU_04) Release Information

Last week we announced that Aircraft & Avionics Update 04 (AAU_04) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 would release today, May 5. While some of the aircraft are still in the final stages of polish, we are happy to share that the classic Fokker F.VII, the first aircraft to fly across the Pacific Ocean from the United States to Australia, is now available as part of celebrating the release of World Update 21: Australia. Additionally, this aircraft is FREE for all players on all platforms if you d…

Any idea why I’m getting this error, restarts changes nothing

Can fly it somewhat but screens remain blank. No messages about memory or avionics.

Standard PS5 version. Was hoping to get couple practice flights in while waiting for the update. I also get the error message on few other Aviator aircraft like the AN225.

[Maxuss1579]

Sorry to say that… but PS5 players should expect least non-problematic release of these updates… according to official statements. Anyway godspeed.

[DriestKnight746]

My guess is that Sim Update 5 last week introduced dependencies for that aircraft that rely on Aircraft & Avionics Update 4. I’m speculating, but they probably planned on releasing both at the same time, then a few days apart, and now AAU4 is delayed indefinitely.

To me, the “restart your sim and get the free update” message is the giveaway. There is no update to receive by restarting. AAU4 needs to be released before this plane is even remotely flyable. Somehow, they broke it more with SU5. My chief complaint with it before last week was that the autopilot wouldn’t stay on. Now it’s completely unflyable.

Now saw a post from 2 days ago about it.

Propeller animations are horrible, they look static and shiver in an attempt to mimic rotation - I hope this is before the Hans Hartmann update on PC

[TheSupercalle]

The update is not out yet, it was delayed. We are still waiting..

[A220driv3r]

It is funny that this STOL thing exists in MSFS were ATR has abandoned the project.

[DriestKnight746]

Anyone on PS5 have any luck with the ATR yet? Mine is still showing me the missing content message after installing the patch earlier today, restarting the sim and console, etc.

Release Notes - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Sim Update 5 [1.7.27.0] Available Now

UPDATE 2026-05-11 The Known Issue that was formerly preventing four aircraft from working correctly on PS5 is now resolved. You may need to restart your sim and/or PlayStation console for the fix to be applied. Thank you for your patience while our team worked to resolve this issue.

[KayakSailor4]

I hope the update will let us be able to use this aircraft in career mode, we have all those different models of the ATR, but unable to career mode with it (would love to add the highline and freighter into my fleet’s and the 42S as well )
