Just Flight's new Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer for X-Plane 11, developed in partnership with Thranda Design, is now on sale!

This superbly detailed aircraft features PBR materials with real-time environment reflections, 4096 x 4096 textures for the highest possible texture clarity and 12 paint schemes which include the RAF and Red Arrows.

Both the front and rear pilot positions are modelled and the aircraft features a truly 3D virtual cockpit with smoothly animated 3D instruments, comprehensive and fully functional IFR-capable avionics fit, authentic HUD and custom-coded electrical and hydraulic systems.

Among the other features are realistic payloads, interactive checklists for every stage of flight, realistic lighting and custom sounds with a pop-up window for sound mixing.

The Hawk has been in service with the RAF since 1976 and in that time it has worn many different paint schemes, so we have also released a Livery Pack which contains twelve additional paint schemes, selected for their striking and unique designs.

See the Hawk and Livery Pack pages for more screenshots, video and full details of all the aircraft features and liveries!

Following on from very positive recent reviews on FlightSim.com of our C152 and Turbo Arrow add-ons for X-Plane 11, Tomasso Felici of the Tom's Cockpit site has posted his thoughts on our PA-28R Arrow III, the first X-Plane 11 aircraft our in-house team developed in partnership with Thranda Design.

Did he like it? It would seem so!

"Would I recommend it? Yes, of course. Will I use it? It will become for sure my number one GA aircraft for X-Plane for its category right now."

One of the contributors to the review is a PPL holder with experience of similar aircraft and he was full of praise for how accurately the aircraft performs real-world flight manoeuvres, giving the flight model 10/10.

Others features also made a great impression, from the aircraft systems ("very accurate") and frame rates ("really high") to the external 3D model ("perfect") and the radios ("really well designed") - you can read the full review over at Tom's Cockpit.

A new review of our PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV for X-Plane 11 has been posted on FlightSim.com and we're glad that the reviewer found the aircraft a great add-on to enjoy on the new iMac he has just bought to get the best out of X-Plane 11!

Here are just a few quotes from the review - you can read the full four-page review on the FlightSim.com website.

"Owning the Just Flight PA28R Turbo Arrow III/IV for X-Plane 11 is an absolute joy and, in my opinion, represents one of the very best "study" level simulations of a piston single available for the sim."

"This model holds up very favorably to scrutiny and the dimensions and proportions look spot on. The exterior textures and reflective surfaces of the aircraft are simply gorgeous."

"The visuals are stunning and spot on accurate."

"Switching my view to the interior of the aircraft revealed more outstanding texture work and attention to detail."

"If I thought the visuals of the Just Flight Turbo Arrow were good, the sounds were even better. This is, to date, the best sound package that I have ever experienced from a general aviation airplane for X-Plane."

"The sound files are an audio masterpiece."

"I came away extremely impressed with the Just Flight Turbo Arrow's flight model and found it to be extremely accurate when compared with the provided real world documentation and the real life accounts of Turbo Arrow pilots I've found through my own personal research."

"I love the user interface with the tabbed menu and the smooth functioning animations and plethora of features Just Flight has included here."

PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV for X-Plane 11 is on sale now and also available in the money-saving PA-28R Arrow III & Turbo Arrow III/IV Bundle, which brings the turbo model package together with all the content from our PA-28R Arrow III add-on.
