Welcome to ATR 72-500 SIM PROJECT Page !
If you have found this site then you are probably a flight simulation enthusiast or you are searching something about home cockpit building.
This site was born to present the developing of an home cockpit regarding one of the most famous regional transport aircrafts: the ATR 72-500.
I started this challenge one year ago when I was looking for something that permitted me to avoid using keyboard and mouse while simulating with FS2004.
I was flashed when I saw for the first time a replica of a Boeing 747's cockpit contained in a bedroom !!
That was the spark that lighted the "lamp" up and then I wanted to go deeper to better understand how that guy did what he did !
Since I like turboprops I chose this aircraft but the challenge is really tough.
There is nothing "ready-to-use" for it so I started to build everything by my own.
The site is still under construction (even because I'm a newbie with web publishing) but I hope the information it contains could be useful for your building (whatever cockpit you choose to implement).
If you want to write to me, this is my address:

(replace [dot] with "." and [at] with "@").
Thank you,
