Beautiful, Sir!

 

[Daube]

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

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

 

[Milton Shupe]

Excellent work!

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

LOL, very true, and cheers!

Hit me up on Skype when you get a chance Jose-- I've been trying to catch you.

Cheers,

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

Which one ? II (with the booster rocket in the fuselage), III, 23 ? Flown the 23 a bit IRL ages ago.

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

with the booster rocket in the fuselage

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,

Gorgeous, just gorgeous I can only hope you might consider doing a Saab 340.

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 thought u said GA, that's a tubie.

 

[Skyhawk_310R]

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.

 

[Lionheart]

Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing this one.

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:
