    About this addon

    The Embraer EMB 312 Tucano is a low-wing tandem-seat single-turboprop basic trainer with counter-insurgency capability developed by the Brazilian Company Embraer. The Brazilian Air Force sponsored the EMB-312 project at the end of 1978.

    An innovative new basic trainer with relatively simple features that eventually became the international standard for basic training aircraft. The prototype first flew in 1980, and initial production units were delivered in 1983. Production was initially supported by a local order for 118 aircraft with options for an additional 50 units in October 1980.

    The Tucano made inroads into the military trainer arena and became one of Embraer's first international marketing successes. A total of 664 units were produced (504 by Embraer and 160 by Short Brothers).

    This is a very good rendition of the RAF Tucano; it’s pleasant to fly however I found that the aircraft has a tendency to roll to the right! Not sure if this can be adjusted with trimming? Also, I wonder if you can recreate the half black/half white spinner and 4 blade propeller with black/white conspicuity markings? Other than that, it’s a very nice aircraft, thank you!

    I love the design and it flies well. Overall quaility is very good in my opinion. Would be great, if the sound could get a little improvement within one of the next updates? My only concern is regarding the performance. The aircraft feels a kind of slow and is not able to climb as stated. I´m not aware of the real aircraft performances, but would expect a little bit more power from this turboprop trainer. If it matches the values of a real Tucano, please ignore my hint ;)

    Thank you for the review. The rotate speed is 80Kt , the climb speed fot the Tucano is 130kt and cruise speed between 180 200 kt depending of altitude. this are the parameters from the real aircraft so anything more than that would be wrong and fantasy, we bring the real parameters much as the MSFS2020 allow to do.

    if this was freeware i would say give it a shot. at any price above $0 this is not good. handling is poor. tons of inop systems. there are issues with gauges (your directional gyro will go crazy every once in a while, etc). the flight model is twitchy and the plane handles very poorly. and for a plane this light, acceleration is an absolute joke. you better have a long, long, long runway because you're going to need every inch of it. you're still going to have problems accelerating once you're airborne as well. just not fun to fly. i regret this purchase.

    rpsearaover 3 years ago

    We regret your experience, but this is the performance that the real tucano has to be. It climbs at 130kt and max speed at crouse no more 200kt. THis is not the SUPER TUCANO that has much more power on engines. What systems are inop? all INOP systems are related to not provided by MSFS2020 by default so why lost time to just animate ot do dummy gauge if it wont be correctly managed by sim until now? The RMI is working as real one, if you are pilot you will see this happening once while, its not fixed and the mesurement is done by magnetic radials so this is suppose to happens too. IF you are so upset to buy it please ask a refound to Flightsim.to that will be fine.

    can we get a English cockpit and startup guide?

    rpsearaover 3 years ago

    Hi, Thank you for the contact. You can use the internal ingame checklist provided to start-up and some other procedures. Be aware to do the fuel balance for each wings too, its first fills the right wing and then when its 100% the you can add fuel to left and then balance the 2 wings too, other wise the left lowfuel alarm light will be on at the panel. It already has english version cockpit, for the RAF Livery.

    Good potential but cockpit functionality needs work, as does the flight model. Hopefully there will be updates!

    rpsearaover 3 years ago

    thanks for the review, what parts does need to work so we can see and improve it if its possible due simulator restrictions for some systems?

    CaptAhab24over 3 years ago

    Many thanks for your reply. some of the cockpit guages appear to respond illogically and many switches are non functional, as is the garmin unit. Whilst the external model is actually respectable, further attention to the annunciator panels low pressure warning continuously, lack of guidance in respect of the ejector seat arming mechanism and lack of a manual need to be addressed. The flight model requires a little refinement in order to remove the current stiffness in flight. If you can remedy these issues over time, you will have an outstanding product, and I do hope you will look at all these areas in detail. Many thanks.

    CaptAhab24over 3 years ago

    Also...the left hand fuel tank is stuck at empty permanently, possibly the source of the permanent low pressure warning on the annunciator. The Torque guage also seems to permanently max out at most throttle settings.
