Aerosoft ATR72-500 in XP11

One of my favourite aircraft in FSX was the Flight1 ATR. I tried hard to persuade it to work in P3Dv4 but gave up.

Carenado have just released the ATR42 for P3D, but I think I'm going more down the XP11 route, so I'm trying not to invest in new add-ons for P3D. After a little research, I decided that the old Aerosoft ATR72 for XP10 may work in XP11 - worth a try anyway!

As luck would have it, it more or less works - with oddities happening in the VC (semi-functional FMS etc.) but the external model looks quite good - and it appears to fly well. So ... here are some pics from a test flight around the South Island (where default XP11 scenery looks quite passable!):

I even managed to get ActiveSkyXP to produce some decent clouds!

Thankee kindly, Sir! I must admit that XP11 lighting is way better than P3D (which I think is really showing its age now).
