Microsoft Flight Simulator | Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer

 

This highly detailed simulation of the Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer for Microsoft Flight Simulator has been developed by Just Flight's in-house development team after hands-on research with a real-life ex-RAF and ETPS Hawk T1.

The Just Flight Hawk has been modelled to an exceptional level of detail and features a variety of 8K PBR paint schemes (including the RAF and Red Arrows), realistic payloads (including AIM-9 missiles, rockets, practise bombs, 30mm Aden cannon gun pod, Red Arrows diesel/dye smoke pod) and ground equipment. Both the front and rear pilot positions are included and the aircraft features a truly 3D virtual cockpit with smoothly animated 3D instruments and fully functioning custom-coded systems and avionics.

Model

• Accurately modelled Hawk T1 & T1A, built using extensive research materials and hands-on experience with the real aircraft
• Numerous external animations including storage hatch, RAT, canopy, crew ladder
• Animated, configurable front and rear pilots
• Ground equipment including chocks, access steps, pitot cover, engine intake covers and tie-downs
• 8K textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
• PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
• Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft surfaces
• Static weaponry with the correct brackets and pylons for all weapon types:
   - Aden 30mm centre line gun pod
   - AIM 9M and CATM-9 practise missile
   - CBLS/BDU-33 practise bombs
   - Matra LRF4 rocket launcher pods
• Ground services support (marshaller and fuel truck)
• Full support for MSFS visual icing effects
   

 Cockpit

• A truly 3D virtual cockpit featuring accurately modelled ejector seats, cockpit wear and tear and stunning texturing - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations
• Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment
• Dimmable instrument, radio and flood lighting, with separate control circuits for each cockpit
• Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft options, and checking aircraft and flight information:
   - 'Cold & Dark', 'Ready for Take-off' and ‘Ready for Start’ aircraft states
   - Persistent aircraft states, allowing you to always return to your cockpit in the same state that you last left it
   - Canopy, hatch and ground equipment controls
   - Choose between weapon panels, Red Arrows smoke controls, Gunsight /GPS/Gunsight + GPS configurations, and hide the control column for an unobstructed view of the cockpit
   - Configure ordnance and rear pilot/instructor
   - Basic autopilot controls for ease-of-use
• Front and rear cockpit positions fully modelled and simulated
• Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers
• Fully compatible with MSFS VR mode

Custom-coded aircraft systems

• Electrical system with generators, busbars, inverters and AC/DC power supplies
• Hydraulic systems, including independent No.1 and 2 systems, accumulators and RAT operation in case of engine failure
• Fuel system with automatic fuel transfer, pumps and LP/HP cocks
• Central warning system with realistic CWP caption logic, audio/visual warnings and test functionality
• Flight control system with hydraulically-powered flying controls, standby flap system and realistic airbrake operation
• Landing gear and wheelbrake system with hydraulically-charged brake accumulators with realistic discharge rates, standby gear system and front/rear cockpit control transfer
• Air-conditioning and pressurisation system with temperature controls and realistic cabin pressurisation
• Oxygen system with realistic supply and usage rates that vary with altitude and number of flight crew
• Flight information and instrumentation system with Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), modelled with accurate 'spin-up' times and simulated gyro-drift, and standby instruments with power source controls
• Lighting system with dimmable instrument, console and map lighting, and separate upper and lower fuselage anti-collision lighting
• Communication system with original AN/ARC 164 UHF radio, plus retrofitted modern RT8300 VHF radio with the ability to save and recall frequencies, fully-functional TACAN and ILS radio units for IFR navigation, and modern Mode C/S compatible military IFF transponder
• Engine systems with realistic Adour Mk. 151 turbofan engine operation, including gas turbine starting (GTS) system and engine starting procedures
• Armament system with weapons control and monitoring panels, missile control panel, sighting system and payload jettison
• Skymap II GPS system (based on default Aera)
• Realistic gunsight display with azimuth and depression controls

Sounds

Bringing next-gen jet noise to your simulator, the Hawk T1 features a highly-fidelity Wwise sound environment developed by SimAcoustics.

Over 200 separate sound effects provide accurate audible feedback as you interact with the aircraft.

• High-fidelity Rolls-Royce Adour Mk.151/851 jet noise
• Full start-up soundtrack featuring the GTS starter
• Immersive distant jet sounds that enhance the fly-by experience
• Authentic audio for every switch, button, lever and electrical system
• Audible feedback as you operate the control surfaces, flaps and airbrake
• Dynamic airflow noise during manoeuvring
• Simulation of breaking the sound barrier
• Custom damage effects for when things don't go as planned
