My Flight New Read Site

1 October 2018

Our new Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer for X-Plane 11 has only been available for a couple of weeks but two very complimentary reviews have already been posted online.

The X-Plane Reviews site has taken an in-depth look at all aspects of the aircraft and the reviewer certainly sounds impressed:

"The quality of the detailing is phenomenal... There is no doubt the Hawk stands out there in the quality stakes, the level here is extremely high... Aircraft modelling is absolutely first rate, perfection, not a 3D bump out of place... For now this is the best of the best current standard... Highly recommended."

The review at Tom's Cockpit is equally positive:

"I’ve tried, in the past, almost every fighter jet in X-Plane and I have to say that this is one of the most realistic and well done, if not the best... The Just Flight [systems] rendition is very realistic both from the graphical point of view and from the operative side... Canopy modelling and texturing is awesome... Sound system on this aircraft is just perfect and the most realistic one for fighters in X-Plane 11... I can state without fear that is one of the most interesting and realistic aircraft I’ve tried."

We're glad the reviewers enjoyed the Hawk and we're very pleased that the end result of all the hard work from our own development team and the crew at Thranda Design has got a very definite thumbs up from X-Plane 11 pilots!

Both the X-Plane 11 Hawk and the Livery Pack of 12 additional liveries are on sale now - see the product pages for all the details!

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.
