This is the one! First look at the NEW Hawk T1 (V2) by Just Flight (MSFS 2024)

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Absolutely brilliant video. I love your enthusiasm especially as you've done this many times in real life. More please 😁

Thanks fella! I think it’s time to frequent the hawk more. Get back to old times. And eventually try VR! I only have a 4080 Super and a Quest 3 so well ’behind the times!’ 😂

[@Retset]

I hoped they would give a 2024 compatible model for free to owners of the 2020 version but assumed there would be an understandable upgrade charge for any major upgrades. Just seen the whole thing is free to previous owners and that is absolutely fantastic from Just Flight. I remember trying to spin the v1 and having an OMG WTF moment before spearing into the deck. I messaged you and you said, don't worry, the modelling is off! I'm typing this in the opening minutes of the video so will shut up now, watch and enjoy! Edit. Just watched - fantastic demo from you and a great job by Just Flight

[@cgaviator]

@@Retset OMG WTF indeed! 😂 Enjoy

Gotta love the free upgrade! And thanks, much appreciate 👍🏻

[@guillaume_69]

Great vid as always!! This is IMHO where MSFS2024 really shine: the flight dynamics. Yes, it's also gorgeous, but the flight dynamics are miles above what 2020 was. Now if they can just get the sim to where it should be in terms of bugs. Hopefully SU1 is a good start.

[@cgaviator]

I dunno… SU1 may be a step back! 😂

[@guillaume_69]

@cgaviator nooooooo Chris nooooo 😂😂😂

[@AaronT-TX]

I was always stalling and spinning into the ground in my Hawk T1 in MSFS, this is a whole different aircraft as far as the flight modeling. It is marvelous and I love it. In MSFS if I hit 150 knots while flying toward the airport it would stall, drop a wing, and I would impact the ground, in MSFS 2024 I have full control at lower speeds. I used to hate this jet but now I love it. Thank you for the great video.

[@cgaviator]

Absolutely and my pleasure

[@nickk8762]

I loved flying the original version so can't wait for this! I mean, if a former Hawk pilot gets this excited by it.... Love your enthusiasm Chris, it's certainly infectious. Thanks!

Great video. Just Flight are my favourite developer, they're consistently ahead on price, quality, and communication, for me. I love their stuff. The AIM-9M is not smokeless, by the way haha. There is typically a white smoke trail upon launch, and ideally I'd like to hear the muted 'thunk' and then 'whoosh' when it leaves the rail, with maybe a little canopy shake. That'd be brilliant :)

[@stevenlow3036]

This is my favorite aircraft for Jaw dropping VR flights. My favorite route is out of Lossiemouth, along the coast to Inverness at FL100 then a transition to low level to fly down Loch Ness, low enough to say hello to the monster. Then I route to the wet coast, weaving through the glens, before heading up to the north of Scotland following the coast along to Wick. Then a climb to 8000ft over the Moray Firth to catch my breath, sort myself and the aircraft out and land back at Lossie. Grinning all the way.

Sounds perfect! 👌🏻

[@lukeheaton7158]

I remember this kite at St athan. It would have been nice for you to have flown it from there(if possible). I worked for DARA on GR4 majors, seeing the dragon hawk take off in the morning was always a good sight. I think you guys would do bombs and bullets, and it would be to check the weather, but I'm not sure if that's true. Nice to see it again.

[@cgaviator]

Cool! Yeah, sometimes the jets are used specifically for a weather check if it’s marginal.

[@Erny_Module]

True story: Many years ago, I worked for a management consultancy - one of our clients was BAE Systems in Brough, UK. We spent some time up their, working with them on site. Of course, in the evenings, much time was spent down the pub where beer was drunk and stories were told.... one was that they were trying to get Saudi Arabia to buy the Hawk. They wanted to buy, but only if one condition was met - the aircraft must have wingtip mounted Sidewinders! Not for any operational or training purpose, but just because they thought it would "look cool"! And they did just that! Splendid presentation as ever - many thanks!

[@cgaviator]

Ha, figures! 😎 I wonder if the upcoming Jaguar will have upper wing pylons!

Chris, you forgot the flaps on take off, are you kidding me 😁, sorry this geriatric jests of course. Beautiful video as always. You actually could convince to attempt to learn a fast jet , which beginning model would you recommend? Also your comments on 2024 are a welcome relief from some of the vitriol I have seen, albeit some of it possibly warranted. I don't have it yet but will indulge this year. Take care in what seems to be a very rough winter for you all over there.

[@BarryFlo58]

I did most of my flight training at Pembrey airport and finished up at Redhill but while training at Pembrey, we would have lunch outside and watch the fast jets coming in and doing their dive down to the range and we used to say to each other, he's married, he's not, just based on how steep and low their attack was before pulling back and climbing out. They always came from the North unless they were going to Pendine and they would then approach from along the coast and you would always have a military helicopter going around the coast to make sure no boats came into the area. I was once asked by the tower to expedite my landing as a fast jet was coming in for a comfort break but being in a helicopter I advised that I would just move over to the grass and hover to wait for the runway to clear and turned to watch the jet landing. As he was going past on the runway I pulled on the PTT and made the sound of a machine gun pretending to shoot him, not realising that in my excitement I had pressed the PTT all the way in instead of just the first click to talk to my instructor and over the radio came a laugh from the jet pilot who replied, you missed, my turn now. I did my solo x country down to Haverfordwest and on the way back to Pembrey, I contacted the range and was told that there was fast jets on the way into the range and so would have to either land in a field or go somewhere else but I told him that if I did this my solo x country flight would be cancelled and I would have to do it all again. He was kind and allowed me to proceed buy not to go above 200 foot within the range boundary which was a relief.

[@cgaviator]

That’s an awesome story! Dagga dagga dagga! 😂 I’ve been nose pointed by a few helicopters in my time. 👍🏻

[@BarryFlo58]

@@cgaviator I had some good times at Pembrey but then towards the end of my training we found out that the airport hadn't been registered but the CAA were very understanding and allowed me to keep my hours and I just went to Redhill to finish it off and get my licence. I don't think it was Winstons fault as he had applied for it but just hadn't received it. When you talked to ATC it was Mike, when you wanted fuel, it was Mike that turned up in his fire suit and when you wanted food, you guessed it, it was Mike who I believe is no longer with us. Do you know Kerran who was a female fast jet pilot and then went on to become an instructor

We could see Rhoose hangars from the VASS line.

[@cgaviator]

Nope, never flew there. I flew one tornado the other way… to the chop shop 😢

[@TarnishUK]

A couple of observations ref the practice bombing, they put to wrong CBLS on the aircraft. Those shown are CBLS200 which other than a few modded into camera pods for trials work were exclusively used on Tornado in UK service. All other UK aircraft used the CBLS100 series. Practice bombs used were the 3kg and the 14kg, there was no 7kg practice bomb.

[@ChrisHunt-q1z]

Just completed a quick trip and for the life of me I couldn't get it to spin. It would just sit there - nose up a few degrees, wings perfectly level whilst slowly losing height. It's a hell of lot more stable (no more the inclination to dive for the ground on approach) but it doesn't 'feel' sufficiently responsive with both roll and pitch a touch sluggish. It's much easier to fly than its first incarnation.

[@cgaviator]

If anything it is a little sluggish. What speed are you trying to spin at? 150kt full back stick and full rudder should do it

[@ChrisHunt-q1z]

Hi Chris, speed at 110Kn, full back stick (and trim), full rudder input. I get an initial roll a steep nose down but if I take my hands off the stick it stops rolling and would continue more or less straight down without further input. As I said - easier to fly (and usable now as a general hack) but I think JF have neutered the poor old thing. By the way, I find it takes about 40% power to get moving, and even lightly loaded it takes a long run up to get off the deck. Having spent 4 years at Warton I know where I should airborne.

[@cgaviator]

@@ChrisHunt-q1z loving or working at Warton!? 😳 yeah, it’s a bit too stable but it’s a great package overall.

Don't see why on the EFB load selection screen they give the option for additional fuel tanks. T Mk1s/A's were not piped to take fuel from pylon tanks - certainly not in RAF service.

@@ThatNathDude yes, I did that in a previous take but forgot to include it here, but you’re right. And the eng start switch to on.

I cannot get mine to work at all in MSFS 2024 program the joystick and throttle and then it does not work. :-(

[@cgaviator]

that's strange, does it work for other aircraft? i've had no issues

[@GOZR]

I never put flaps on taxi damage them with unknow things on tarmac

[@cgaviator]

Sounds like a civilian pilot talking? Maybe a prop driver? No issues with these things 👍🏻

[@GOZR]

@@cgaviator Civilian yes but flew MiG15 and 17 and Soko.. all depend on the state of the runways .. i see you are used to clean runways.. I open and close my flaps when i only need.. fun videos

too bad you didn't test it with the Supercarrier, I wonder how it behaves in it

[@cgaviator]

I’d suggest it would crash… it’s not carrier capable. T45 on the other hand…

[@AndyBashford]

What is the key bind name to fire the weapons please?

[@cgaviator]

In the manual - I’ve used so many aircraft recently I honestly don’t remember. I believe water rudder was jettisoned

[@AndyBashford]

@ thanks it’s ok I found it eventually in the manual, in MSFS 2020 at least it was TOGGLE LAUNCH BAR thanks for replying, love your videos!!

Its version two currently out for PC, MSFS 2020 and 2024, the latter only if you have PC til marketplace works

TrackIR

Yes it's free. Treat it just like any other update you might have received or seen from us. We'll supply the new build/update to other stores upon release.

@@goji059 95% of the time I flew real fast jets, I couldn’t shoot anything. I only practiced A to B and simulated attack profiles. Perfectly suited for MSFS if you ask me 👍🏻👍🏻

I bought the v1 mod on MSFS 2020 on xbox, will I get version 2 for free on xbox when the marketplace is available?

That’s my understanding.

@@cgaviator Thanks, so this isn't really official from Just Flight?

[@mastermachetier5594]

How do you get it on ms2024 if you buy direct

[@justflight]

The Marketplace area for FS2024 isn't open yet. You'll need to wait for that to happen. We've submitted it to MS so out of our hands now.

[@mastermachetier5594]

@justflight I bought from your website with the exe installer. Will there be a 2024 version?

[@Lethargesic]

I would love msfs2024 to bring in weapons. Could be dog fight servers. Could even have a real world server where when a plane doesn’t follow atc instructions gets QRA. They would just need to find a way to stop trolls ruining it. Imagine flying 8 hours for someone to shoot you down for giggles.

[@cgaviator]

i'm afraid I don't ever see them bringing combat native to MSFS. however, if a tac pack could be enabled...

[@HerbertTowers]

Power up against brakes? WIMP.
