Purpose or Role in Game
The plane is a twin-turboprop, regional airliner that could see it’s use in many airports that are currently in game. It’s ideal for small airports and has seen its use across places like the United States and Australia.
Why should this aircraft be added?
We need more smaller airplanes in the game, as big aircraft do tend to clog up the airports from time to time. The Metroliner has also had over 600 aircraft made and would be ideal for filling up airports with empty A/B class gates or areas. The introduction of this aircraft will add more realism and diversity to regional fleets across the world.
