Thanks!
The checkride would be very similar, with the possible addition of one or two maneuvers. You might want to see if they can include circle-to-land...if that's not part of the type ride (common for turbojets) your ATP (as well as the type) will have a no-circle-to-land restriction. I think many sims cannot support circle-to-land due to limitations of the sim visuals.
