EuroHarmony ATR-42 problems !

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Hi folks,

after I got several mails complaining about out ATR-42 panel, I checked the plane, and I have to say you were right ! The story is quite long, but the main point is the main point, the panel does not work in FS2004 ! You can find the solving in this topic: http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=2614&page=1

Thank you Dominic !

Well, the airplane was somehow left out from last year's fleet renovation process, and therefore it got ouf focus. It was the time too, when I changed game version, and I did not notice the problem...I am sorry very much !!! :$ And now the future, and solutions:

As you know, we will introduce the brand new livery on all of our airplanes. It will include the ATR too. But... there were several asks to include the bigger ATR-72 in the fleet, because that has a fantastic payware version, while the smaller 42 does not have. Next to it, the Saab-2000 is a bit small and sits in Class3 now...therefore a new agreement was born:

1: Saab-2000 will step down to Class2, and replaces ATR-42 there. 2: ATR-72 will be re-inserted to the fleet, to the place of Saab-2000 into Class3. Soooo...the new Class2 and Class3 will look like:
- Class 2: Dornier-328 & Saab-2000
- Class 3: ATR-72 & DHC-Dash8

This will happen only when the new repaints born. Until then, enjoy the ATR-42 with the fix on the above link, and also start save some money for the Flight-1 product ATR-72 turboprop.

Cheers ATR lovers !

Happy to help Robert! And I'm very pleased to hear the ATR-72 is coming back as I've got it and am itching to use it in EHM colours

Hi,

the recommended version of the ATR 42 500 has got wrong values for the weights in the Aircraft.cfg.

One can only fill the tanks with 25 %, although the Payload is at about 0 lbs.

Does anybody know the correct lines to be written into the aircraft.cfg?

Thanks!

Please allow me another question about the atr-42:

The heading / CRS-knobs do only allow a 10 degree change by every Click or Wheel-Movement. how can I change hdg/crs by single degrees?

Thanks

Hi Miko,

I've had a bit of a play with the WEIGHT & BALANCE section and these figures work fine on my set-up so give them a try... just copy this section (between the lines of dashes) and paste it into your aircraft cfg file overwriting the existing WEIGHT AND BALANCE section:-


//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
reference_datum_position=000, 0, 6.800
empty_weight_CG_position=000, 0.000, -8.000
max_number_of_stations=50

station_load.0 =   "170.0,  45.0, -1.5,   0.0, Pilot"              
station_load.1 =   "170.0,  45.0,  1.5,   0.0, First Officer"        
station_load.2 =   "150.0,  40.0, -1.0,   0.0, Flight Attendant"        
station_load.3 =   "3570.0, 35.0,  0.0,0.0,  21 Pax front"        
station_load.4 =   "3570.0,-25.0,  0.0,0.0,  21 Pax rear"    
station_load.5 =   "1500.0,-30.0,  0.0,   0.0, Baggage"

empty_weight=24802.000
empty_weight_roll_MOI=260000.000
empty_weight_pitch_MOI=302000.000
empty_weight_yaw_MOI=470000.000
empty_weight_coupled_MOI=1400.000
max_gross_weight=41005.000
CG_forward_limit=0.000
CG_aft_limit=1.000

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As regards the 10 degree heading/course changes I think this is an FSUIPC thing and can't be easily fixed. That said sometimes when I click these knobs really close to the centre I get 1 degree changes but it doesn't always work...

Hope this helps !

Thanks Dominic for your great help!

Your CFG-Fix works fine - as to the 1 degree changes I will try another screen resolution - maybe that 'll help.
