A42 500 SERIES P3D | FSX

I can turn the FMC off or on, click the clickable buttons and hear a corresponding sound. But it never gets past the Loading Data screen, whether in the 3d cockpit or via shift - 3.

I don't get it. This plane and i downloaded the latest version. IS extremely heavy on FPS, and even worse with the Flight1 GTN750 attached. Like i have a few other payware planes FSLabs,PMDG and Aerosoft airbuses to name a few, and everything is very smooth. But when i load this plane everything becomes a stuttery mess. What is happening? I just installed the latest version of P3D as well. And get bad results. I just wished i had bought it through Flight1 at least i could gotten a refund. But thats hindsight for you 🙂

Hi, I just noticed that the rudder deflection is limited while the aircraft is in flight, for example on ground if the rudder deflection is 6 deg on either side on air it is about 2 degrees only, I checked this by using an outside view. The coditions were autopilot off/ yaw damper off , however on ground the rudder deflection is normal. How can i edit the aircraft.cfg or some other tunings to make the deflection 6 degrees as well in flight ? Regards

Does anyone know if Carenado has plans to make a 600 series for this aircraft?

I didn't mean to Hijack another thread and turn it into a repaint request area. So post them here and maybe a painter will see them and paint them 🙂

Hi folks, Intermittently I think running into this same issue over and over and over with the GTN on the ATR. When I enable LNAV, it just starts... banking to the left. Right on course, just needs to hold its current heading, and it starts doing circles. Any ideas? I have not noticed this in any other aircraft.

Maybe Im missing something, but she seems so slow to climb! Power Mode into Climb Levers in auto VS Engaged Seems to take an age to get into cruise

Is it possible that Carenado could replace the FMC in the ATR 42-500 with the one that is used in the Carenado ATR 72-500?

Hi to everyone, Some of you know as we talked on other topics about the ATR by Carenado that I have started a bug list and I have reported since then many anomalies of this product. The respective topics are: - AND If an admin would consider it more appropriate, I would like also to move all three topics in a single one, to have it more clear for everyone what we have discussed during the time. In the following, I will present an updated list with all the bugs that I've discovered on the ATR 42 and everyone is invited to comment about this post and to add if they found anything else. Today a version 1.1 of the ATR has been released and …

Is there a decent sound replacement for the Carenado ATR 42? There are certain issues that cannot be fixed by one, but there are also some awful loopings that drive me near madness during a flight.

Hi, does anyone else have an issue with hydraulic fail lights ? Mine stay on no matter what I try and I have to drop the gear manually. All the hydraulic pressure gauges show good pressure. Cheers all.

Hi all Apologies if this problem has been discussed before, I've searched everywhere for an answer but could not find anything. I have a problem with the Universal FMS in my ATR42, for some reason the NAV and VNAV buttons on the right hand side are not clickable at all. As a comparison, they are clickable and working on my Fokker 50. Is this a known problem or is there something I could do to try and fix it? Also, it appears you cannot choose a departure runway for an airport that does not have SID's...anyway to solve this?

An odd but brief question: is there a way to load the aircraft up with all of the passenger window shades closed? Or close them all with a button press rather than clicking each one individually? I'd like to simulate a turn where the plane's been sitting on a hot ramp for a while (e.g. flight attendants asking everyone to lower their window shades to keep the cabin cool) Thanks.

Hello. I am enjoying this little plane. One issue I have is that the Carenado House livery does not show up in P3D4.5hf3 as what the thumbnail suggests. Instead I get an all white aircraft. Is it just me?

my first attempt at repainting the 42, still wip jk0075 jk0080

Hello, finally getting the chance for my first flight after buying this in the Black Friday sale. A few issues I’m hoping someone here can help with: - GTN750: I ran the executable to enable this and it’s in the virtual cockpit but I can’t click on any part of the screen, there is no response. It’s frozen at it’s start up page. - Since I couldn’t use the GTN750, i proceeded to try and program my route into the FMC. I was able to input my start and end airports, but was unable to input my sole intermediate point, YCO. When I tried to do so and pressed enter it simply would blank out the line i was trying to enter it on. - When trying to fly my …

Hello, I don't seem to be able to get Power Management working in this aircraft. I watched the video noted in this thread: And read through this thread in it's entirety: When taking off, I have power management set to TO, the power levers in the white detent, condition levers in the auto detent, and the best I can get is 58% torque with NP at 100%. I tried "jiggling" my levers a bit to ensure it was in fact in the detent with no effect. I had to have the power levers to full forward to get 90% torque, which was as high as I could get. Normally I would just write this off as Carenado not fully simulating the system but it seems like others have got…

hi guys, I tried to follow various videos on YouTube starting from the cold and dark, only that once powered the plane electrically, while I am preparing the flight plan, suddenly everything goes out and returns in cold and dark, which can be the problem? Alean

Good evening dear pilots and fellows, I'm experimenting a weird behaviour on my ATR whenever I'm ready to takeoff and I press TO CONFIG TEST. Although I have my pitch trim within the green band ( around 3), gust lock unlocked, flaps 15º and parking brakes released I always get a TO CONFIG TEST alarm as something was not set up for the take off. I have no lights on on the overhead panel ( but HYD PWR x feed ), engine start knob is on OFF & START ABORT position but still get this warning. As I am a beginner on this aircraft and I suppose that we have really experts on this machine in this forum can someone help to fix my issue ( probab…

Here we go 🙂 SX-DIR Download

I just purchased the ATR42 and wonder if there is a list of the lvar's I can reference to map to some of my hardware controls. I am using Saitek's TMP, multi panel, radio, and sitch panel which I usually map through SPAD.neXt. Thanks Kevin

first cab off the rank

I having problems to setup GSX2 with ATR embedded stairs. Can you pleas pass a gsx config? thanks!

Hi everyone, I bought the ATR the other day and I have severe problems rotating it. When the trim is set anywhere in the green band I need almost full backpressure on the control column to lift the nose off the ground. Once the nose is off however it simply rockets to the sky with about 7-10° per second. I tried a felt million times now and it is simply impossible to rotate with a normal constant 1.5-2° per second. Does anyone have some tricks here or even better, modifications to the aircrafts files to improve the rotation rate? Cheers in advance!

There are three .exe file options in the aircraft folder in SimObjects to install the FMC into the ATR. There is an entry I presume for the Aircraft.cfg file. Which one of these should I install for P3Dv4, and with the text installed will it take over as the FMS entirely and give full functionality to the autopilot. As you can guess I have never used the GTN before, but if it gives a better automatic flight option(s), then I will go find the appropriate manual.
