Keith100 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I bought the Virtualcol ATR, and DH3 Otter. I am happy with the DH3 Otter. However the ATR series is not an acceptable model. Whist the exterior is acceptable, the cockpit is a disaster. The panel is like low-end freeware (or worse). Does anyone know what's up? Now I find that the ATR has been discontinued. I am disappointed that online retail stores don't mention this. If you have bought one, I suggest this freeware panel: b1900xx by Spada. It is 2D, but looks very nice. (search for Beechcraft 1900 CC Serair) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftldave Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 ATR 42 and 72 were repackaged into a single pack. Only the separate model packages were discontinued. I agree. Their cockpits just don't match the quality of the model exteriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith100 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'll snap an image and post it, so others can see the quality. This aircraft has been reviewed by Nels Anderson: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?16555-Virtualcol-ATR-Series-Pack Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I disagree with your comment. I just went to the site you provided a link to. Nels didn't review this product. He simply used supplier provided wording to advertise it. Buyer of any product, Beware!;) Personally I bought a single Virtualcol plane. It was so poor in every extent except outside appearance, that I'll never consider another.:cool: Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

evm Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Agree with Rupert. I bought one aircraft from them, and not only was it freeware level, it was so similar to the existing freeware model that I couldn't help but wonder if they acquired it from that author and just painted new external liveries for it.

Keith100 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I apolgise for misleading you. To my knowledge, only a few of the review sites have a comment on any Virtualcol ATR plane. However, Nels has reviewed the Embraer 170-175, and Bill Stack the Dornier 328-110. The Flight1 ATR is great (I own it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not write either of the reviews you mentioned, they are both by Bill Stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erolsungur Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I bought their Cessna T303(if i am not mistaken with the name). I have seen better freeware planes. At the end Virtualcol is not expensive but for me not worth buying. When I reinstalled the FSX, I haven't installed the plane I paid for...
