The new Metroliner III model by Razbam features an aircraft that has been missing from the Microsoft Flight Simulator X platform for many years, and one that has definitely been wanted by many simmers for longer than that!
The Metroliner III has been used by many well-known airlines around the world, and in Australia, it is used by Sharp Airlines, TNT Cargo, TOLL and Regional Express (REX) Airlines. Sharp, TOLL Aviation and TNT liveries are featured in this download package. The panel is modelled very well in this add-on and the external model is well-detailed. Performance is good and the entire package is typical of RAZBAM quality. Buy and download now from PC Aviator.

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.
