At last - a decent RAF Tucano!!

Nice pics edzmen, indeed a good aircraft.

I didnt intend them to be good compositions - i just took them over a period of five minutes just to give you a preview of what the plane looked like...

Personally I thought they were quite poor images!  ;D

The shorts version has a different engine, and cockpit layout for starters. I dont know any more detail.

Hawk a-like cockpit..
Garrett TPE331 turbo-prop engine

Externally unless you're an expert you will only really notice one difference between an Embraer and Shorts Tucano, that being the 4-bladed prop from the Garrett. Come to think of it, the Shorts ones also have a canopy frame seperating the front and rear sections. The cockpit is similar in lay out to the Hawk, presumably to allow an easier progression from one type to the other (having said that and flown in both the Tucano and Hawk, I hadn't really noticed the similarity!)

This model though has many external differences being essentially a Super Tucano (cut down fuselage, 5-bladed prop, front canopy frame)

I think he has sent you a Privat Message ( PM) ... Look at that nice "Hey Edzmen, you have 1 message" in the top left corner... click it, you might be surprised!

Welcome to SimV Hat,

Are you sure you placed it properly..
Theres a tutorial in the FS2004 Forum me thinks..

[Hat]

yes it was placed properly, but i get 'aircraft initialisation'
failure when I try to load it.


i tried the model that is suggested on the simv download page, & the readme from the RAF repaint tells me to use a file that I dont think exists.

Could you send me the readme file in a PM,
I'll sort it out for you..  ;)
