I think when the engine fire came I was like what the heck out loud. Probably quite comical for somebody to watch all the hands going everywhere the pure panic of 2 newbs trying to recite memory items run a QRH. When we broke out of the clouds to land engine out I let out a small sigh of relief then realized I'm 6000ft high how do I get this darn thing down. My legs were shaking when I stepped out of sim. Looking back maybe it was fun but I was done afterwards and ready for bed.
And now you are finding out why people are arguing on the other thread about T-Props VS Jets. The jets are designed to be easier to deal with in these situations, less memory items, easier profiles. For example in the CRJ 700 there are less things to memorize for all the memory items than for flaps unlock on the ATR.
And how to bring it down, well bring the power lever back to FI (you won't blow a cylinder head I promise or shock cool the engine) and bring the Condition lever (or whatever it's called on the 1900) forward and use the speed brakes!!!
