11: Atr 72-600 X Plane

Integration of the Thales-made glass cockpit , which provides RNP 0.3 navigation accuracy and a multi-purpose computer (MPC) for increased safety.

This is currently one of the most promising active projects. It is being developed for both X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator, with the X-Plane version expected to feature highly advanced dynamics. As of late 2025, the project is in deep development with a target release in 2026 .

For a long time, X-Plane 11 lacked a definitive "study-level" ATR 72-600. However, several projects have recently aimed to change that: atr 72-600 x plane 11

High-fidelity FMOD sound sets that capture the distinct "whine" and low-frequency rumble of the Pratt & Whitney PW127XT engines.

Many pilots remember the Milviz (now Blackbird Simulations) ATR 72-600 project. Unfortunately, development for the X-Plane 11 version was officially abandoned after a Kickstarter campaign failed to reach its funding goal in 2019.

Deep integration with X-Plane’s blade element theory to simulate the specific handling characteristics of a high-wing turboprop in various weather conditions. Aircraft Specifications (Real World vs. Sim)

In 2022, Dynamic Simulations announced a high-fidelity ATR 72-600 for X-Plane 11 with future compatibility for X-Plane 12. Their goal is to provide a study-level experience including custom systems and a high-fidelity 3D model. As of late 2025, the project is in

Custom-built six-bladed Hamilton Standard propellers with realistic feathering and "Hotel Mode" (the ATR's unique way of using the right engine as an APU while on the ground).
