Beginners guide to starting the ATR with Hotel Mode in Microsoft Flight Simulator

In today's video I walk through the basic procedure to start the ATR in Microsoft Flight Simulator in "Hotel Mode", where Engine no.2 is used as a power supply during pre-flight.

You can download the startup procedure from the link below:

This video addresses the issues people have seen with the prop brake getting stuck on, and solves at least one of the causes. It would appear that if you start engine no. 1 while engine no. 2 still has prop brake applied, it may not release. Also - be mindful that if you let the RPM of the engines drop too low, the hydraulics and generators will start complaining.
