It was designed as a cantilever monoplane with a central fuselage pod, engine nacelles blended into the double booms carrying the double-fin empennage.

INSTALLATION

Unzip to a separate folder, i.e. "C:\Hangar", or "C:\My Documents". Rename the "super_tucano_panel" folder to just "panel". Open the aircraft folder in FS2002 and locate your Super Tucano. If there is a "panel" folder in there already, remove it. Now go back to the new panel folder, which you just renamed, right click, cut, and paste the folder into your Super Tucano's main folder. If you're sure of what you're doing, you can delete the file_id.diz, the readme.txt, the .GIF's and the .JPG's. But if you encounter a lot of mysterious problems with the stuff you download, maybe you shouldn't tackle an advanced task like that just now. Let's just leave it, you've got a huge hard drive anyway. Now go fly and enjoy!

WHERE TO GET SOME GREAT AIRPLANES!

Denis and Daniel da Silva of Brazil are two of my favorite developers. If you don't have a good Super Tucano yet, there are a variety of magnificent Tucanos and Super Tucanos available from Denis and Daniel, available at most major flight sim sites, or if you want to make sure you're getting the latest version, from Denis and Daniel's own site.

But Tucanos aren't the only terrific airplanes there! Be prepared to spend some time on that site, these guys are artists!

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
