| What is the story behind ATR and Flight1
working together? |
 |
 Early
last year, Jean-Pierre Cousserans of ATR seeked the partnership
of a leading designer of computer based aviation software
in order to showcase the ATR 72-500. Flight1 was one of
the groups contacted, and was ultimately selected to recreate
the ATR 72-500. ATR had seen the worldwide growth of computer
based simulation, and the popularity of Microsoft Flight
Simulator, and saw the benefits of having the ATR represented. |

| How close is the Flight1
ATR compared to the real thing? |
|
| We
made multiple trips to the ATR factory in Toulouse, and
worked closely with ATR staff throughout this project.
ATR was quite enthusiastic in helping us with many of
the technical details we needed. We believe the product
is very close to the real aircraft in terms of system
accuracy, visual, and flight modeling. |

| Did ATR and/or ATR
pilots participate in the beta testing? |
|
| Yes.
Quite a few people from ATR were part of the beta testing.
In fact, we had to get ATR approval before we could actually
release the title. There were also multiple ATR pilots
on the beta test staff. |

| Can this product be
used for flight training? |
|
| Neither
Flight One Software or ATR approve of, or certify that,
this product can be used for real-world flight training.
This is an entertainment product only, and is not party
to any training curriculum created or approved of by Flight
One Software and ATR. |

Technical Information
|
| What type of computer
system is required? |
|
| This
is an advanced product. We do provide many different configurations
that are made available via our configurations tool, but
at the lower end, we recommend you have a 1.6 GHz machine,
with a 128 Mb memory video card. System memory should
be a minimum of 512. On-board sound chips are NOT recommended.
A plugin sound card, such as a Soundblaster Audigy, is
recommended. Sounds in many cases will not work correctly
unless you have an adequate plug-in sound card. Windows
XP is the official operating system that is supported
for use with the ATR. It may work with other Microsoft
operating systems, however this is not supported by Flight
One. |
