Three preset aircraft loads are available: -Empty – No passengers at all. -Full – Full passenger load. -Random – Passenger load is determind by a random number generator

The seating can be manually changed by clicking each seat. A blue figure shows a male passenger (185lbs / 84kg), a magenta figure represents a female passenger (155 lbs / kgs) and a green figure a child (90 lbs / 41 kg). Clicking a seat toggles between male – female – child and empty seat.

To change the cargo load, click the “minus” and “plus” buttons to the left and right of the current cargo compartment weight.

If the total zero fuel weight (ZFW) is higher than the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) - resulting in a negative maximum fuel weight – the ZFW and max. fuel weight are displayed in red color.

“Cockpit Units” lets you select between kilograms and pounds for the fuel indicators. It doesn’t change the units used in the FMC (always tonnes) though.

Three buttons can be found at the bottom of the Configuration manager window: -Reset – Resets the configuration to the factory default -Save – Saves the current configuration -Exit – Exits the Configuration Manager Aircraft Startup determines the state of the aircraft

when it’s loaded.

Autopilot and Yaw Damper Normally moving the yoke disconnects the autopilot and moving the rudder pedals disconnects the yaw damper. Due to technical issues, this functionality is not available in the current version.

FMS Keyboard Input Defines a key which toggles keyboard input mode for the FMS. This was fixed to Scroll Lock in FS2004 but has been changed since FS X opens the ATC window if Scroll Lock is pressed.

Volume Settings Set the volume for additional (non-FS) sounds

NAV/GPS Toggle Switch Enable this option if you want to use the FS default or third party GPS instead of the FMS.

Virtual Cockpit Textures Lets you choose between high and standard quality textures for the virtual cockpit

-High Quality uses 32-bit textures which look better but load slower -Standard Quality uses DXT3 textures which look not as good but load faster

Display Window Reflection in the Virtual Cockpit Toggles the use of reflective textures for the windows on or off. This causes no change in frame rates, it’s just that some users like the reflections and other don’t.

Virtual Cockpit Gauge Resolution Lets you choose between high and standard quality gauges for the virtual cockpit.

-High Quality uses 32-bit textures which look better but load slower -Standard Quality uses DXT3 textures which look not as good but load faster

Cabin Interior ATR offers four different cabin interiors on the real ATR 72-500. With this option you can chose the one you prefer.

Cockpit View and Color Cockpit View let’s you choose between the pilot’s perspective (no engine instruments visible) and the wide perspective view (engine instruments visible). Cockpit Color selects the basic colorof the cockpit. Available are ATR-brown and Airbus-blue.
