Because of its popularity in the real world, it is also a favorite in the flight simulation community. Simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), X-Plane, and Prepar3D have high-quality add-ons for the ATR. However, many of these add-ons come with a "study level" complexity that requires a deep understanding of the aircraft. This drives the demand for a CBT download, as users want to operate the virtual plane by the book, just like real airline crews.
