A-29 "Super Tucano" v2 (VIDEOS BELOW
)
This is a ground attack version of the Super Tucano which may be used in the near future by the USAF for counter insurgency operations as well as close air support of special forces. My rendition shares a very similar flight performance, armament and set of functions to the real aircraft currently tested by the US. It features animated ejection seats, weapons, FLIR, landing gear, canopy and more. To use the GBUs first activate AG4 to keep the aircraft stable and activate bomb
steering, then select view (F5, F6) and drop the bomb with normal weapon selection.
Additional weapon pack can be found here
Feel free to modify and reupload the aircraft and share any thoughts, questions or suggestions for improvements!
