No simulation is perfect. Even the best ATR 72-600 for X-Plane 11 has limitations. The simulation of the beta range is often simplified; real ATRs have a more nuanced feel of the power levers hitting mechanical gates. Additionally, the effect of ice accumulation on the airfoil—a critical real-world concern for a high-wing turboprop operating in clouds—is only partially modeled in default X-Plane 11 weather. Finally, the frame rate cost of the detailed 3D cockpit can be high on modest systems, due to the number of custom instruments and animations required.
for X-Plane 11 that matches the depth of the Asobo/Hans Hartmann version found in Microsoft Flight Simulator Common Alternatives: ATR 72-500 (Free/Community): There are improved versions of the ATR 72-500
To understand what makes a "deep" ATR post, you must understand the aircraft's unique philosophy, which developers like SkyCatsLab are trying to replicate:
