: A long-standing payware option. While it lacks the -600's glass cockpit, it offers an accurate flight model tested by real ATR pilots, 3D animated cockpits, and custom sounds. Note that some systems like Hotel Mode or the Centralized Crew Alerting System are not fully simulated in this version. Freeware Versions : There are various freeware ATR 72 models available on X-Plane.org

Flying a turboprop in X-Plane 11 is distinct from handling a traditional jet engine. The ATR 72-600 simulation captures the nuances of the engines, including the critical "Hotel Mode," which allows the right engine to run as an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) without turning the propeller.

8.5/10 (A classic that remains one of the best turbo-props in the XP ecosystem).

Absolutely. As X-Plane 12 matures, many users still stick with due to its stability, massive plugin library, and superior helicopter/turboprop physics. The ATR 72-600 is the perfect aircraft for this ecosystem.
