This aircraft is used for internal flights - Salto and Punta del Este - and also regional
ones - Buenos Aires (Aeroparque) in Aregentina.
This is a high quality repaint, taking count of every detail, so it is as close as possible
representation of the real aircraft. So include several texture improvements.
Contains reflective textures (no mipmaps).
> Texture Notes: 1) You will notice that the Uruguayan flag is not properly displayed on one side
------------- (with the sun on the right), this is because, the model use the same texture for
both sides. So there is nothing I can do about it.
2) The registration on the wings can not be located in the right place because
texture position determinated by the model. Also the upper one can not be displayed.
> Special thanks: to Rafael Reca from Baires Aviation Photography, for his great pictures!
--------------
Based on the Sanchez-Castañer´s version 2 model.
Features:
All moving control surfaces
Flight and Ground Spoilers
Rotating propellers
Rolling Wheels
Steerable nose wheels with landing light
High Resolution day and night textures
Transparent flight deck windows

It uses default panel and sounds, but I recommend to download the base model
(file: fsc_atr42_300v20.zip) which can be found at AVSIM or Flightsim.
This one includes a great ATR panel. For sounds, you can download one of the
several turboprop sounds available there too.
Hope you like and enjoy it!
Happy flying!
