Project metal is a big project that is slowly being introduced every update.
Buildings and clouds are a big step in the project but no, the entire project isnāt going to be released with 21.1.

To add to what they said, project metal is a mission to update the core of the app so it will not have a certain ending as everyday thereās new stuff to add and remove to make the app better
Parts of project metal will be come in 21.1. we know this includes the texture rework on A380 and cessna Caravan, about 6-8 airports getting terminals, and maybe clouds.
This information can be found on very reliable YouTube channels, such as Aviation6, which is my favorite

If your interpretation of Aviation6 is that itās an accurate and reliable source of official Infinite Flight information, itās not a good interpretation. Nothing on that YouTube account is even remotely close to being official or accurate to the extent that Infinite Flightās official social platforms is. Never trust these sources.

Donāt forget that project metal isnāt an update with a set of features. Itās a project in which Infinite Flight update the core data of the app. Itās just a project (I think related to the graphic engine) that will allow Infinite Flight to add more features that they couldnāt add in the past, for example buildings !

Without getting too off-topic, in no way is Aviation6 a channel that should be considered reliable by any means. He is neither a developer nor does he work at FDS. At least 1/2 of his videos are speculation, 1/4 is ārecappingā (which he does about 8 times an update even though he sayās nearly the same stuff) and 1/4 is showing off a picture from an official Infinite flight social media account which can be easily seen if a viewer was to just look at an official IF account which is the most reliable source when relating to Infinite Flight. Come to think, most of it is also Clickbait, especially the speculation videos because people will think it is true, get disappointed it does not come out, and then call IF āmisleadingā. I mean just look at the most recent videos from him, you can see some common trends:

Metal wonāt be something you can see come to Infinite Flight, but it allow stuff like buildings to implement.
will 21.1/Project metal will have tire smoke
Donāt think i ever saw the phrase ātire smokeā across any IF social media posts, so most likely not.

Same here, Iām glad you asked this question.
Think of project metal like getting a new graphics card for your computer. It does not automatically add elements to your game but it opens the door to using cool stuff.
Any of the releases should be considered separate from Metal. Metal is more of a framework. In a perfect world, Metal would be implemented and the end-user would never know.
