ATR 72-500 45MB package, flies, doesn't taxi...

Downloaded and installed as per read me instructions!

A very nice plane, very complete, excellent sound, but getting off the ground is impossible...  For some reason the plane can't be operated on the ground. When accelerating the plane rolls backwards.
Downloaded and installed per instructions:

When starting the plane in flying mode it behaves well AND can be landed. After landing engines can't be used to taxi. Even on full forward thrust it does not move or moves backwards.

There is surely some kind of glitch.

I installed about 100 planes, changed panels or added instruments. It always worked.

The only thing i can think of is, that the props are somehow set on feather automatically.
Can anyone help....

I seem to remember that the ATR will behave oddly if you don't fire up your sim firstly with the default Cessna 172 then go into your drop down menu and select the ATR from there. If you haven't tried this option, give it a whirl.........good luck.

Hi CROCKER,
thanks. I did that with the ultra light, but to no avail... :( as this problem occurs with another plane, where it really helps to start with the UL, then change planes to the desired one.
But I shall try your recommendation and let U know. Thanks
Another funny issue is the Airbus 380, which worked when I first installed it, but then does not even show.
