Atr 72-600 X Plane 11 May 2026

Introduction

Unlike jets, where thrust is relatively constant, turboprop thrust varies significantly with airspeed, propeller efficiency, and altitude. The simulation of the ATR in X-Plane 11 must accurately model the aerodynamic drag produced by the large, six-bladed propellers during descent (propeller discing) and the immense torque required during takeoff. The platform accurately renders the differences in fuel consumption between flight idle and ground idle, a critical distinction for realistic operations. atr 72-600 x plane 11

• Strengths: Reasonable fuel burn and payload tradeoffs producing realistic range for regional sectors; good takeoff/landing distances when using proper configs.
• Weaknesses: Requires manual performance calculations in some versions (no full integrated performance menu), so pilots must approximate V-speeds and weights or use external tools.

System Requirements:
X‑Plane 11 (64‑bit), Windows/Mac/Linux, 4 GB VRAM recommended. System Requirements: X‑Plane 11 (64‑bit)
