Thanks.

From the razbam site? I didn't spot one in the download.

Where In God's Creations did they get the passengers?

I see thanks to fsafranek that flightsim.com has a two pack of Northwest Airlines liveries, which I was hoping for! Excellent. Also a couple more New Zealand liveries (which brings the total number of NZ liveries between what RAZBAM supplied, ARNZX, and Flightsim.com to a surprisingly high amount).

Yep. Found it. Thanks.

Did a lap around the airport yesterday and the Metro seems to be an excellent hand-flyer.
Flew it after the checklists and had to take quite some peeks into the manual in between.

Couldn't get the ILS information on the EHSI to work though, but that might just be an ID10T error.

Save for the start locks and overtemp and -torque, not flipping most other buttons doesn't seem to have much of a consequence for the airplane's condition.
Hence, CTRL+E works just fine.

The way the model was made, however, allows for a bit of creativity regarding implementing a few more quirks.
I'm trying to make the nose wheel steering work a bit like the real thing.
And implement an APU. It isn't funny if I run out of juice while nose deep in the manual.

It does have a paint kit Frank.

A fairly messy one (especially misc2.psd and misc3.psd), if I dare to say.

Bjoern,

This is from the manual:

DISPLAYING THE ILS
The ILS system is tied to the secondary NAV source. In ILS mode the following information is available: Glideslope (GS)
and Course Deviation (CD) bars, glideslope angular error, Locator bearing. BELOW G/S warning.
To enable the ILS you must click on the HSI or ARC buttons until the ILS mode status is displayed in the bottom display
area.
In 360‐Degree mode the MAP view is disabled while in ARC mode it is available only in its default mode.


I had to scramble to discover this myself yesterday on approach to a cloudy and rainy Trondheim, Norway. Not a good time to be missing the info you desire.

The ILS system is tied to the secondary NAV source.

This is the crucial bit of information and just shows how entrenched we are in our standard procedures. I didn't even consider that the nav source was to blame.
Fortunately, my lap around the field was on a normal day and not during the meterological apocalypse.
