Yep, it's a very nice plane. I'm glad you like it.

Its a white knuckle airplane if you fly long distances without the fmc, anyone know how to get it to hold its airspeed on its own?

It doesn't have an autothrottle. Pressing IAS hold, makes it hold selected airspeed with pitch changes, though i haven't tried this yet.
Right clicking with the mouse between left and right throttle levers, will engage TO Power setting. This you can use if you want to rest you knucles, but keep an eye on the speed.

The aircraft does not have autothrottles, but it has computer control of torque settings. IAS hold in this aircraft is a pitch mode not a speed

I have the ATR on order, should be delivered in a few days.
They look like very handy links Fruitfly Bookmarked. Its just that... well, after skimming your links i'm worried, it all seems very complicated compared to my only other payware a/c, the PMDG 737. The ATR is highly regarded, and i've had my eye on it for a while ... i'll give it my best shot

I use FS Nav as I havent bothered with the FMC that much, but the aircraft can be more hands on than jets

ATR will keep the 170 knots (providing you have set that speed). You won't have to think about the throttle before you want to descent cause it won't overspeed! OK, in order to descent, set your new altitude, set 240 knots, right click on the power levels to put them out of the notch. Now you're in the manual throttle mode again. The plane will keep the speed of 240 kts. If you want a higher rate of descent, decrease the power: the plane will dive more steeply to make up for the loss of power to keep 240 kts. If you give more gas, itwill descent more slowly in order not to go faster than 240. That's all there is to it! And one more thing: if your cruising altitude is below 7-10 000 ft (but that depends on the airplane's weight), you won't go to that automatic, notch mode at all, otherwise the plane would overspeed.
