Oh, absolutely. Didn't mean to be a downer there, the Metro is still one of my favourite aircraft, and am very glad it's coming to FSX!

Liberal use of lightmaps would be my guess. Quite impressive to say the least!

Hello Folks,

just a little H.U for this bird, Beta version 0.3 released for whom who pre-purchased.

**adi518** · November 19th, 2013, 09:58

will they fix the sinking wheels? i don't understand why some addons have it and some don't... I mean, can it be 100% fixed should the developer wants so?

No sinking wheels since the first beta.

Try using it at some different airports - sometimes scenery doesn't always sit exactly on the FSX 'ground', if you know what I mean, and wheels can appear slightly above or below the visible surface.

I'm pretty sure I missed the pre-Release sale but that's okay - I eventually bought it, and the one I got is very nice. I do have a few questions, however. My purchase was in mid November. What is the current (mid Dec) status of this aircraft? I went to the RAZBAM site but could not find the Metroliner listed among the offerings. It seems to have simply vanished. I do not have a manual for it but would dearly love one. Also, the original plan (see above) was to provide ten liveries and a paintkit - mine came with four liveries and no paintkit, and I have been unable to find any more liveries for it anywhere. Can anyone tell me more?

They ended the pre release thing quite awhile ago.

If you bought the beta you should be able to download from your account the current beta which is 0.4 and called a release candidate. They are very close to release and it's a very fine effort.

There is is a rough manual with the current beta.
