    "Promizing" sounds a bit weak for these screens...

    Funny thing is: in these pics, it looks like an upside-down wing

    Whoever is working in the textures is a master at it, but whoever created the 3d model is a genius! LOL!

    That's stunning... but the quality of the end product IMO will rest on how well the Garretts are modeled

    The screenshots right now, it's the Metro III mate.

    I remember hearing stories about how much fun they weren't after losing one after takeoff in the Texas summers.

    Prophylactic with wings was one of the names.

    Looks really great and I look forward to it (or them?).

    cheers,

    I was dying to make a Saab 340, unfortunately that dream is vanishing... but yeah, I love the Saab 340, Jetstream 31 and the Embraer 120.

    I am sure this will be an excellent add-on aircraft. But, can a Metroliner really be termed General Aviation? This is a regional commuter turboprop -- it's a bit "beefier" than I would assign to GA.

    But, that's a minor point. Again, I am confident many people will love getting this airplane!

    Cheers,

    Ken

    Well, i´m my defense...it´s on the GA assembly line..lol, but not deemed as one, let´s say we´re expanding operations into civilian aircraft, tube liners, and everything related..

    PS: we are not killing military aircraft for FSX yet, btw, all our scheduled (as in made public) military developments will be released into FSX platform without any doubt!

    I've been waiting for one of these "skeeters" for a long time. That's what we used to call them when they flew overhead into our college airport. Spectacular work in those pics everyone; well done.

    This one might not "fit" the definition of GA, but there were a whole host of Swearingen Metro models, including some which might "fit" the definition.

    One such was the one owned by my ex-boss Charles Forcey who flew the "1992 ROUND THE WORLD AIR RACE" in his Swearingen Metro 226TS:

    My understanding was that the shorter/corporate versions were called "Merlins" rather than "Metroliners".
    Now, is Razbam only making the Metro, or are the Merlins included too?
    Adding to that, what about the C-26 versions?

    Not requesting, just curious.

    The texturing looks great! Very impressive! Almost looks better than the real thing

    Hello FOlks,

    look very promizing, the Garett are lovely modeled, now you have to include the best sound pack for these fine Garett, no choice...

    Dou you plan an Expediter freighter, no cabin windows ?
    Count me in:salute:

    Have few good ones Folks,

    As this thread is being coy about what it actually is, assume the use of "GA" means it is a Merlin III corporate turboprop (and not the "sewer tube" Metro commercial a/c), which would be cool.
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
