In 20 years of flight sims I've never took the effort to learn the academic side of flying so this will help me make a start as ive only ever flown vfr.
I get lazy with the comms in the sim though I may start dabbling in multiplayer. Tacan and VORs really help and are satisfying to use alongside a decent map.
@@cgaviator I've signed up for Tim Davies / Fast Jet Performance flight school. Would be great to join you on MP sometime. I've got the JF Hawk and it's my go to in MSFS.
This was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Really admire the clarity, professionalism and precision! The quality of videos you're producing is outstanding. Since getting the T1 Hawk in MFSF the possibilities to create these missions are really exciting and opens up a whole new flightsim experience compared from the GA and tubes..
Fascinating to see the methods used to achieve such incredible accuracy whilst hand flying and following some valleys. With such good scenery, this video should appeal to more people than just flight sim users.
Oh man!! These Hawk video's are simply amazing. So much fun watching this. Where do you get these maps from? And how did you picked your target? Just from the map or from within the sim? Thanks again for sharing this with us and can't wait for the next Hawk video.
How to pick a target would be the subject of an hour to 2 hour video! 😅 I used the 1:50k OSI map and chose a target building that was big, sounded by large features and was near my intended route. All my maps are from Memory Map.
Brilliant, most professional demo ( I would expect nothing less of course) 😁 but very interesting to watch and appreciate the running commentary. Also confirms I could never be a fast jet / strike pilot. 😕👴🏼. KeEP up the great work and stay safe in the RW.
You guys that are capable of good low level flying should put together a challenge pack of flights like the topgun challenges. "Hey, here's a great flight" and then plop just a little competition on top. This would be a great time trial, especially in a Hawk or similar. Maybe the tools are coming to the sdk?
Hi Chris, love all your videos! Please can you tell me what that black ball with a white stripe is at the top right of the hawk instrument panel? I’m soooo curious!many thanks.
Winking and blinking that takes me back to a back seat ride in an F4 a Wildenrath, is that standard terminology all aircrew use? Great experience mohne damn surreal. Great vids btw getting sidetracked by nostalgia ✌️💙☮️
@@cgaviator I was brought up to the sound of Hunters as I lived near to where Pembrey Airport is now. Theres something comforting about the sound of the jets circling the village when I visit with an occasional rat-a-tat burst when they practice.
How exactly do you determine your height above the ground in the Hawk with out a radar altimeter? Just pure eyeball? Or is the goal to just stay below the ridge line in the valley you're flying through? Excellent flying, really enjoyed both videos.
Thanks, appreciate it! And yes, eyeballs! We train via a fly through of an airfield with QFE set and 250ft (maybe slightly lower due to compressibility at high speed). And usually sheep don’t have legs at 500ft but do at 250! You can also fly level with obstacles that have 250ft elevation. Some techniques but it soon becomes natural. Come to think of it, was it sheep or cows…!? 😂
Crazy where we’re at with flight simulation now. Would you have thought in the past as an instructor that you’d be able to re live it now in such fidelity in flight simulation?
Sadly it’s alot of effort to produce the maps/times. If I had an AMPA terminal it would take seconds. Also tricky for 500kt as it’s 8.3 miles per minute so the math is harder
Any tips for landing the hawk? I keep spin stalling her on final trying to maintain speed around 120-130. If I manage to touch town its most of the time rough.
Absolutely. There are links on my website for the FRCs, they’ll give you the proper speeds around final. The final turn should be 150kt (160kt if threshold speed calculated above 120kt or you have stores on). No lower than 140kt by roll out. Then reduced it to threshold speed by threshold. Must be on a 2.5-3° glidepath. Idle over threshold and a small check for the flare.
@@cgaviator thanks I did 3 touch and goes that were successful then a 25 minute flight to test my practicing and landed very smoothly. Thanks for the quick response and tips!

This is certainly the practical version and still fits well within your VFR preference! 😉
@@cgaviator I really need to put the effort in to learning everything about comms, tacan, vors and the rest.

Thanks very much 👍🏻 It’s great how much variety there can be in the sim!
That is some amazing flying with the timing etc. Thanks for sharing.
Love the way you look right and left before crossing the valley. Enjoyable flight thanks.
Old habits! 😄

Here’s hoping! Thanks 🙏🏻
Awesome 👏 👌 Can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner. The graphics are unreal!!
sorry for the late one, I've been away. Thanks, i'm lucky it works more often than not! lol
I finally bought it and I love it! Even with it's impossible trimming and super spinning! 😆
Lol, good stuff!

Rubbing belly, patting head and constantly doing math! 😄 And thanks, much appreciated!
That.... is seriously, seriously impressive. I can't imagine how daunting it must be the first time you do that in real life!
Great video, thank you.
Thanks, very kind! You build up to it but on a nice day it’s relatively simple. Throwing in bad weather, rerouting etc and it’s another beast!

impressing!

Yup, Oxy Magnetic Indicator. Winks and blinks as you breath!

Winking and blinking, absolutely standard terminology! 😄 That’s mostly why I fly the hawk so much, lots of nostalgia! Thanks 👍🏻
Tried it on PC and the end screen does appear. The link in the description also works
Would it be possible to see a blown up version of the map to look at? Love the content
You can download it it fairly decent resolution. Link in description.
Id like to see you fly down to Pembrey and attack some targets there.
It’s on my long list of todos! I’ve even bought some Swansea scenery for the fly through! 😁 I did some pembrey work in an old G91 video. Was good fun!
@@cgaviator I was brought up to the sound of Hunters as I lived near to where Pembrey Airport is now. Theres something comforting about the sound of the jets circling the village when I visit with an occasional rat-a-tat burst when they practice.
Would you mind completing a video on how you setup your track ir because the way you have it is amazing
I do plan to, eventually! 😅 Thanks 👍🏻

I tried it back in the day with the P3D and it was ok but clearly the ground features were pretty poor! MSFS is such a game changer!
Hi there, would it be possible to get the waypoint times for flying this sortie at 500kts?
Sadly it’s alot of effort to produce the maps/times. If I had an AMPA terminal it would take seconds. Also tricky for 500kt as it’s 8.3 miles per minute so the math is harder

@@dannysoogens glad to have helped!
That was fantastic - I can't not click part 2
Really? Should be at the end of the video or in description. I shall check, thanks for letting me know
@@cgaviator sorry For the confusion, Chris. No problem with the link - it was my backwards way of saying ‘I have to watch part 2’ 🤦♂️
@@rutchiemctavish oh, haha! 🤣 It’s too early fire me clearly! Didn’t read it properly lol
Lovely
Wot, no bang?
Sadly not this time!
The links to your website in the description no longer seem to work😕
Great video though!
Thanks, yeah, site is work in progress, sorry about that
@@cgaviator Ok thanks for the reply👍🏻
Wish that i found your channel earlier than i did, AMAZING content!🤩
Is trimming the real jet as tricky as the the sim version?
No, not at all!
One second early. 👌🏼
Does the hawk take much getting used to in real life with the stick-type throttle?
Not really, quickly becomes normal 👍🏻
