MSFS | ATR72-600 Tutorial - Episode 2 - Hotel Mode, Engine Start, Take-Off and Climb! [4K]

[@BritishAvgeek]

👋 hope you're enjoying the series so far! A note on throttles - you would usually use NOTCH instead of RAMP for the takeoff and we'll dig more into these for other smaller snappier tutorials exploring some of the different modes for Short field takeoff and more. It also depends on your ability to calibrate throttles as you might find it'll click into NOTCH easier than RAMP so set what you can and importantly do what you feel is comfortable and easier to remember ✈️ happy flying!

no muss no fuss straight to the point just what I like. Has helped me loads as i just jumped in cold and dark. Cheers

[@BritishAvgeek]

Great to hear! Hope you're enjoying the ATR!

[@RezZx.1308]

Thank you for this, this is the part I’ve had some struggles with!

[@yams900]

Looks little messy, seems you can press any button in any order :) It will make sense later, I'll write my own workflow. Thx for your hard work and dedication to flying :)

[@mariuszk2639]

You can also adjust any settings on the displays. Just click on the screen, for example, up, down, left or right. You can also scroll through the checklist in the display window. Instructions on how to do this are in the tablet on the aircraft's equipment. Greetings aviation geeks. 🤭🤗👍

[@BritishAvgeek]

Great tip! I do find the clickspots a little hard to reach at times but otherwise a great feature to have

[@genis_piano]

New issue for me during turnarounds. Once I have shut off both engines I'm not able to restart them. I hope they will fix it soon

[@MatthewTFLoyd]

Same issue

[@BritishAvgeek]

I've not had that issue yet myself but interesting to hear what has happened to you. I know an update is coming which fixes a LOT of bugs including VNAV and a "turnaround bug" too

[@defect2889]

another great video....thanks

[@yams900]

I'd rather start both engines before taxi, then you're more concentrated and aware of your surroundings on your way to the runway :)

[@BritishAvgeek]

Yep that's an easier way but when you watch the ATRs taxi it's nearly always on single engine

[@yams900]

@@BritishAvgeek Nice ! Must remember that. With C337H I'm turning one engine off as well, because I can :)

[@EuropaBall143]

When I try to taxi my plane doesn’t move, but it says it’s going 15 kts

[@Shibbster87]

Great vid! The D-TO function is scary to use. I've experienced the bug when using DTO, it wipes the flightplan, in 3 of 4 flights so far. Hoping you will post a vid of decent, approach and landing vid! :-)

[@BritishAvgeek]

Yep! A few bugs that need a good squash! Have you seen Episode 3? 😎

[@Shibbster87]

It wasn't out when I watched Ep.2. But going to watch it now! 😀

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@Shibbster87 I've tried to space each one out a little so I don't do an Ed Sheeran and smash out 5 videos at the same time😂

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Thanks for the tutorial! :😎

[@BritishAvgeek]

Hope you found it useful!

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

@@BritishAvgeek Plane was stuck in Hotel Mode for some reason. Even though the prop brake was set to off, it was on/ready. Solution was to turn off Eng 2 and restarting it.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@SizzlingPopcorn it's a new thing post- the recent MSFS update... You've got to press the Aux HYD Press button BEFORE engaging Prop Brake, and then also before disengaging it - ensuring the condition lever for Engine 2 is in Feather

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

@@BritishAvgeek Thanks! Won’t have to embarrass myself on stream today. 😎

[@tedchen0025]

I can’t move my yoke after the engines are started. There’s no hydraulic, even if the pumps are working. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just a typical MSFS bug?

[@BritishAvgeek]

remove the gustlock

[@artempankiv154]

Hello, could you help. I have problem with trimmer: when I press in tablet the button "T. O. trim" in few second trimm moving back to 0.0. It happen with and without joystick connection. Thanks.

[@BritishAvgeek]

do you have any pilot auto-assists on?

[@artempankiv154]

@@BritishAvgeek All assists of. I checked any buttons by searching "trimmer" and deleted all keyboard assignments, but problem was not solved.

@@BritishAvgeek Thank you so much, was trimm assist, never turn it on, but it was!

[@yams900]

Thx for helping with SID/STAR change as required, much appreciated ! Another one for you...can you start the engines with hotel mode ? And why is it called hotel, why not motel or caravan park ?

[@BritishAvgeek]

You can yes - check out Episode 6 (I think?) - Hotel Mode, a specific video all about it 🙂

[@yams900]

@@BritishAvgeek Excellent, danke !

[@adam632]

Thanks man!

[@BritishAvgeek]

hope you're enjoying the ATR!

[@Persojet]

Never seen a ATR push back. They always use their own power to reverse where I've seen them. Is it done like that somewhere?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Heathrow most definitely - Loganair always pushback from Terminal 2. It depends on the airport/country it's operating in

[@deetee1188]

Great tutorial series, if I can find bindings using my TCA 320 Cpt Pack and saitek pedals. Spend 2 afternoons.....nothing work ( except flap lever). How do you control front wheel steering for taxi?? I'm so annoyed, will probably delete the ATR. Flushing 12,99 Euros down the drain.....

[@BritishAvgeek]

I just use rudder to control it. Make sure your gust lock is off and I'd check for any keybind issues because it may be the case that you have stuff set up incorrectly in the sim for the ATR

[@sedou787]

my prop break wont go on ready and i dont know why

[@BritishAvgeek]

Check one of the later episodes about the Prop Brake

[@sedou787]

Thank you!@@BritishAvgeek

[@jay-rus4437]

GSX and I don’t get along. Seems very buggy. Here we are in 2023 and it has been very clear, and verified, that GSX causes other issues when I run it. Its caused CTD, and the only addon to cause that btw. It doesn’t seem to be consistent in how it performs and behaves. I finally got tired of fighting it and even lost a couple flights because of it. Finally just bought the upgraded ground vehicles through msfs and went on with my flying.

[@JDSleeper]

I'm just not getting those kind of climb rates in CLB mode. I have to use MCT. Also, throttles should be in NOTCH rather than RAMP for takeoff.

[@mrmisterno1]

Yep. Notch for takeoff.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Depends on the operation - remember we're keeping this basic for everyone for the first three tutorial episodes

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@mrmisterno1 again, remember we're keeping this basic without digging into short field ops and all the rest of it... Similarly to both, the tutorial series aims to work around the quirks of this specific add-on including some power, VNAV, FMS and MCDU behaviour and more.

[@shayantanganguly6440]

I’m currently not able to track the Vors even after setting up the frequencies, could you help?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Are you switching the dial on the fcp to V/IL1 or 2 and flying in Nav?

[@shayantanganguly6440]

@@BritishAvgeek Hey buddy i solved my issue, had to just click on the brg button on the center pedestal. And answering your question, yes i had done that correctly. Anyway thanks for your response and happy Landings!!

[@commander_shadow2444]

The atr got an update I think vnav has been fixed on it so it should work properly now! Could you make a tutorial on it if it works

[@BritishAvgeek]

If it works, then that's great I'll look at a specific tutorial but it'll no doubt still have weird Quirks so tbh I'll likely never ever use it unless it's as reliable as the PMDG 737 (which lets face it, it's unlikely)

[@commander_shadow2444]

@@BritishAvgeek you gonna try it on stream today?

[@andybrockbank3027]

Just followed your tutorial but hit some issues with GSX and also going from Hotel to prop spinning. From what I can see the process has changed with the most recent update. Why such a significant change since release is symptomatic of MS rushing the developer to a release when it clearly wasn't ready. This will be the last aircraft I buy from MS or for that matter fly from their catalogue. Too much frustration. ATR now hangered while my headache subsides.

[@BritishAvgeek]

I'll try and take a look to see what changes are apparent 🙂

[@daisy180709]

Same issue with Eng 2 after turning off prop brake , what was the workaround ??

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@daisy180709 press Aux HYD Pump near the throttles and try see if that solves it

[@daisy180709]

@@BritishAvgeek No mate it never worked , i tried pressing the small round HYD button to the left of the throttle quickly and also holding it down for a second , and even holding it down until it clicked back itself. i ended up having to shut engine two down then restart which is a bit of a pain.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@daisy180709 do you have the hydraulics on the overhead panel on?

No point in using WX radar, it doesn’t work in MSFS

[@sinanemir4602]

ok, continue with a320 its more simple then atr :D

[@BritishAvgeek]

Nooo never admit defeat! The wonder of flight sim is we get the chance to learn these aircraft, have the diversity of different types of flying. Keep at it, eventually it'll click! Even if you have to watch these tutorials back over and over 🙂

[@lockheedmartin_uk]

Nah I’m not a legend: Also bro😂

[@lockheedmartin_uk]

Literally a legend this guy

[@Klenric]

Thanks, simple and to the point. The condition levers.. is it left at auto for the remainder of the flight? Have seen some videos where its moved all the way up during take off and flight.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Yep just left on auto, it'll sort itself out throughout until shutdown :)

[@shanenicholson94]

Your tutorials are extremely impressive bro!

[@BritishAvgeek]

Great to hear Shane! I spent a lot of time scratching my head and figured if I can help others learn each aircraft a bit quicker it's a win win for everyone 😎

@@BritishAvgeek certainly works. How are you learning to fly it before teaching us? They do say teaching others is the best way to improve yourself...

Changing mode, zoom and stuff...should work fine clicking on verious spots on the screen, according to Microsoft Flightsimulator KZbin channel. Haven't tested myself yet, though

hello and thank you for these wonderful videos. In the checklist, before take-off, there is the item "Automatic Torque...Both On", what does it refer to?Thank you

Check the updated checklist, I've removed that line

[@alecclapperton834]

Great video. I have been following diligently, but I always seem to have Low Pressure on the Hydraulics. I have pressed the little button on the throttle quadrant. It disappears sometimes, however last night I kept losing pressure, resulting in no brakes which made back taxi interesting. How did you get the Hydraulic low pressure lights to extinguish on the o/head panel?

[@BritishAvgeek]

I think post-SU13 the ATR needs an update to fix that as it's a new bug causing problems with hydraulics

[@Jesus_Garcia1949]

Hello, one question, in which folder does the ATR save its liveries? I have looked in several places but I have not found it, I want to add some liveries and I don't know where to put them. Thank you so much.
