RAZBAM Metroliner III is released

[h=1]RAZBAM PROUDLY ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE[/h]RAZBAM SA227-BC Metroliner III



The Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner or the Fairchild Aerospace Metro is a 19-seat, pressurised,
twin turboprop airliner first produced by Swearingen Aircraft and later by Fairchild at a plant in San Antonio, Texas, United States.

The Metroliner was an evolution of the Swearingen Merlin turboprop-powered business aircraft. Ed Swearingen, a Texas fixed base operator (FBO),
started the developments that led to the Metro through gradual modifications to the Beechcraft Twin Bonanza and Queen Air business aircraft,
aircraft he dubbed Excalibur.

The SA227-AC Metro III was initially certified in 1980 at up to 14,000 pounds (6,350 kg) this increasing to 14,500 pounds (6,577 kg) as engines
and structures were upgraded. An option to go as high as 16,000 pounds (7,257 kg) was offered. Externally, improvements incorporated into the Metro III
were a 10 ft (3.05 m) increase in wing span, four-bladed props, redesigned "quick-access" engine cowlings and numerous drag-reducing airframe modifications,
including landing gear doors that close after the gear is extended.

I checked their website for some pictures of the Metroliner.......not one.
Is there any place that has some pictures, mostly what I would want to see is the panel.
 
Here are some:

Jose.
 
I'm curious as to what exactly is the difference between the P3D and FSX versions and how it justifies the extra cost. There seems to be no description of the differences on the Razbam store site.
 
Razbam, can you please answer if the Prepar3d version will work in V1.4 please. I am interested in purchasing the bundle but need to clarify the Prepar3D?
 
The FSX version will work on P3D v1.4 but not the P3D v2. The P3D v2 is especially compiled for that version and it's not backwards compatible. The difference is that a native P3D v2 will perform better on the sim and a few other things.

No need to 'think again about our hobby', just think about comparing apples and oranges.
 
Some add ons are very expensive, but you must weigh the price against what you get with the product. We have gone from crude 2D cockpits to nice 2D cockpits to crude 3D cockpits to very realistic, every thing works and is clickable 3D cockpits and even realistic systems modeling. All of this consumes a great deal of time and I do not begrudge a developer that releases a great product and charges an appropriate price. You must look at the features and the quality of the product when deciding if it is worth the price.

. . . .and along with that, do those feature reflect the type of flying you do? There are still folks who fly with 2D panels, and those who still fly from the exterior view. Are you a systems nut or a weekend GA flyer? If you purchased this airplane (and we've all done this), how often will it realistically leave the hangar? I'd love to have the airplane, but I would never use it for an eighth of what it's capable of. . .I care very little about how authentically systems are modeled and based on the type of flying I normally do. . . .it would probably get flown a few times and put away. . .so for the price and what my preferences are, it wouldn't make sense to purchase, no matter how much I'd like to have it.
 
Good point and I have fallen into the trap of buying something because it looked good, was nicely modeled, etc, then find that it really does not fit my style of flying. Then it just sits there, a waste of my money, but that is not the developers fault.
 
I'm too in no real need for this aircraft but if I ever see the bundle on sale I will buy.
 
I would love to have this aircraft. The Metro has always been a favorite and I'm pretty sure I made the first one for FS back in FS4 days. But I just can't afford it these days.

I'm actually saving my money for the Mirage F1 series Razbam announced three years ago. That's $50 I could justify and would fly the heck out of.
