ATR-42 Family Long Term Release v4.5

The ATR-42 Family Long Term Release v4.5 features new sounds and a slightly more fps-friendly interface. That’s about it and as the hangar is working on the ERJ-170 / -190, the ATR-42 project will be halted here. But we can say that the current release is very stable and you might not need any release soon. In case of bugs, a bug-fix release may come out but that’s about it.

ATR-42 CNA / Merlion Boarding Music DOWNLOAD : http://www.mediafire.com/?q1euay7vv1ygevs

The Boarding music combo contains music-cna and music-merlion which must be placed in data/Aircraft/ATR-42-500/Sounds/Cabin. This is exclusive to Cresder Nixrof and Merlion Pilots.

NOTE –

In case the ATR-42 does not work for you, and it shows an error that ‘music-cna.wav’ or ‘music-merlion.wav’ or both are missing, then you need to remove the tags for these from the ATR-Sounds.xml file. This error might show in FlightGear 2.2.0 / git but not usually in 1.9.1 and 2.0.0

Have fun flying!
