The best road to satisfaction, re: the ATP checkride, is to download the B-52 or B-1, file a flight from anywhere to Seattle, fly said flight and bomb the office of the M$ programming team.
Honestly, the program is full of holes and any problem passing, is a matter of PROGRAMMING versus flying technique.
This topic came up a month or so ago. My interest was piqued, so I tried the ATP ride. Keep in mind, that I am a Jet Captain who possesses a real ATP, and who teaches others to fly jets..    First of all, the examiner doesn't talk to you at times for more than five minutes. On a REAL ride, there is non-stop instruction and evaluation. The other big gripe that I had was the fact that I was failed for "improper hold entry".......sound familiar? Are you listening Microsoft? You can't be failed for improper hold ENTRY! !    Holding on the wrong side, in the wrong direction,  off of the wrong radial, on the non-safe side....... YES        ENTRY?.........NO!
Entry procedures are in the AIM, and are RECOMMENDED not mandatory.

                              

Thanks Ottol !!

I feel better now, I really get mad about that hold, and thought that I didn't understand at all what it was a real "hold" ???

If anybody knows whether there are patches that can create a "real" ATP checkride.... welcome !

Ciao !
