Asymmetric torque or crosswind vulnerabilities inherent to large propellers.
X-Plane’s native physics engine flawlessly simulates the asymmetrical forces of large propellers. You will actively manage torque, P-factor, and beta range (propeller pitch) during taxiing and landing.
Automatic control of blade angles based on power management settings. 3. Custom Flight Dynamics
The ATR 72-600 is one of the most anticipated regional turboprops for the X-Plane 11 community, filling a long-standing gap in high-fidelity short-haul aircraft. While several developers are racing toward a 2026 release, virtual pilots can currently explore developmental previews and freeware options. ✈️ Current Development Landscape
Used for single-engine emergencies or high-altitude climbs.
integration for performance calculations, weight and balance, and fuel management.
For the aspiring real-world regional pilot, the ATR 72-600 in X-Plane 11 serves as an excellent procedural trainer. It teaches the concept of power management for attitude, not altitude —a fundamental turboprop principle. It also highlights the importance of the “approach stability gate” (typically 500 feet AGL), because an unstable ATR is far more difficult to salvage than an unstable jet. The simmer learns to execute go-arounds, which in the ATR require a dramatic power increase (torque to 100%), flap retraction, and a pitch-up—all while managing asymmetric forces if an engine spools slowly.
