After over 15,000 man hours of work, research, and planning, Flight One Software is excited to announce the official release of the Flight One ATR 72-500.
Developed with the cooperation of Avions de Transport Regional (ATR) in Toulouse, France, this has been one of Flight One Software's most exhausting development efforts. The work pays off with one of the most detailed add-ons ever produced for the Microsoft Flight Simulator platform.
Exclusively designed for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004 (A Century of Flight), computer pilots can experience first hand what it is like to fly the real ATR 72-500. Select to fly from the Captain's or First Officer's panel in either of the standard brown or newly available blue/grey cockpit configuration. Experience the fully functional and highly detailed virtual cockpit with many never before features, such as truly working windshield wipers that remove the rain from the windows. Take a stroll through the virtual cabin, checking out the detailed 3D interior including 2 different seating configurations, available in 4 different color schemes. Explore the 3D exterior model and listen to the real cockpit and engine sounds recorded from the real ATR in a runup in Toulouse.
Tom Main project manager for Flight One Software on the ATR project states:
"This is without a doubt one of the most highly detailed aircraft packages available for flight simulation. The team has devoted unbelievable amounts of time to get this product just right and produce the look and feel we experienced while researching the aircraft in France. This package really raises the standard in airline package design within flight simulation."
Flight One Software has setup a dedicated web site for the ATR package, http://atr.flight1.net There you can get all the latest project information and downloads. A dedicated ATR discussion forum system is available so virtual pilots can learn about the ATR, get technical support, and have other general discussion on the aircraft.
The Flight One ATR 72-500 is initially available by download for $34.95. The CD ROM master will be sent to the factory shortly after this initial release and should be available by mid November.
