About the Aircraft:

A Proven Multi-Mission Light Attack and Tactical Training Aircraft

The A-29 Super Tucano is a turboprop military aircraft developed by Embraer for advanced pilot training and operational roles including light attack and reconnaissance.

Powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68C turboprop engine, rated at 1,600 shp, the aircraft combines strong performance, endurance and maneuverability with the ability to operate in demanding environments. Its tandem-seat cockpit includes multifunction displays, a Head-Up Display and integrated avionics supporting both training and operational use. Equipment and mission capabilities may vary according to aircraft configuration and operator requirements.

This recreation brings the A-29 Super Tucano to Microsoft Flight Simulator with a detailed exterior and cockpit, custom avionics, flight dynamics and aircraft systems developed specifically for this simulation.

FEATURES Highly detailed custom exterior and cockpit model with high-resolution PBR textures. Multiple operational and demonstration liveries and configurations. Custom multifunction displays, HUD, UFCP, EICAS, ADHSI and navigation functions. Custom SMS functions for applicable aircraft configuration items. Configurable external fuel tanks, pylons and configuration-dependent equipment. Functional external fuel system and fuel transfer logic. Center external fuel tank / speed brake interlock. Animated speed brake, landing gear, control surfaces, flaps and canopy. Dimmable cockpit and instrument lighting. Exterior navigation, formation, landing, taxi, beacon and strobe lighting. Ground chocks with aircraft movement inhibition. Demonstration smoke effect on applicable variants. Custom autopilot functions integrated with navigation systems. Front and rear cockpit positions. In-simulator checklist. Developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 with compatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

  • DISCLAIMER -

The A-29 Super Tucano is an active military aircraft. Detailed technical information regarding some avionics, mission systems, sensors, weapons management, electronic warfare, self-protection systems and other operational capabilities is restricted, proprietary, classified, or not publicly available.

For this reason, this product is not intended to be a study-level reproduction of every system installed in the real aircraft. Systems represented in this simulation have been developed using publicly available information, available technical references and the capabilities of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Where complete information was unavailable, reasonable simulation-specific approximations were required. Some systems may therefore be simplified, partially simulated, unavailable, or may operate differently from their real-world counterparts.

The flight model and aircraft performance have been developed and tuned using publicly available A-29 data wherever possible. Differences may still exist due to simulator limitations, unavailable engineering data and differences between real-world aircraft configurations.

External equipment, fuel tanks, pylons and other components may vary according to the selected variant and simulator configuration. Demonstration smoke is available only on applicable variants and uses the assigned Logo Light command.

Some cockpit controls may be represented visually without a simulated function when the corresponding real-world system cannot reasonably be reproduced.

For intended operation, use the MODERN Flight Model. This product is intended exclusively for entertainment and flight simulation purposes and must not be considered an official training device, technical reference or operational representation of the real A-29 Super Tucano.

The EMB 314 Super Tucano is a single-engine, two-seat, light combat aircraft developed by Brazilian aviation company Embraer. Also called the A-29, the turboprop-powered EMB 314 took its maiden flight in 1999 and it entered service in 2003.

The Super Tucano is an evolutionary development of Embraer’s EMB 312 Tucano, which took its maiden flight in 1980 and was introduced in 1983. The subsonic, multirole aircraft has served the militaries of over a dozen countries throughout the world, including Brazil, Afghanistan, Chile, the United States, and Ecuador. The EMB 314 performs a wide variety of missions, including surface attack, close air support, armed reconnaissance, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) data collections, light bombing, and training.

The EMB 314’s development began with Embraer’s interest in creating a lightweight, multi-mission attack aircraft from their EMB 312 Tucano. The EMB 314 has a low, elongated trapezoidal main wing, a standard empennage, and a retractable tricycle undercarriage. The Super Tucano features a more powerful engine than the EMB 312, strengthened landing gear and airframe, an advanced glass cockpit, state-of-the-art flight controls, advanced defensive systems, and an advanced communications suite. It is armed with two internal machine guns and can carry machine gun and cannon pods on its wings and fuselage. It has five hard points that can accomodate a variety of stores, including bombs, rocket pods, and missiles.

The EMB 314 Super Tucano measures 37 feet, 4 inches in length, stands 13 feet tall, and has a wingspan of 36 feet, 7 inches. It is powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-68C turboprop engine that turns a 5-blade, constant-speed, fully-feathering, reversible-pitch propeller.

The Super Tucano has a maximum range of 1,774 miles, a service ceiling of 35,000 feet above sea level, a climb rate of 3,230 feet per minute, and it can sustain up to 7 positive gs and 3.5 negative gs. It cruises at 320 miles per hour and has a top speed of 370 mph.
