Enjoy the flight! - เกม
This is the one that I have been waiting for since the beginning, as it lends itself perfectly for low level, fast and fun flying. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Ah well I strongly suspect the wait will be worth it then Andy! As you say, I think the Hawk fits superbly into the sim - ideal for enjoying MSFS at what it does best, but also a decent study level offering at the same time.
Shouldn’t have to wait too long now! All the best : )
I am exceedingly jealous. I check every bloody day to see if it has been released. I'm so pleased to see that it lives up to expectations. The flight model especially looks far more 'alive' than the Goshawk.
Haha, well I do feel very fortunate that I got to take this one up for a bit of an early joy ride! I was checking my emails every day, to see if there was anything from Just Flight XD
Shouldn’t be too long to wait now and yes, it certainly lived up to my expectations (which I was really happy to see)! I think the aircraft is pretty much ready to go, but Just Flight are waiting to see how the next sim update unfolds.
Not to bash the Goshawk, but the Hawk feels leaps and bounds better in the flight model department. People have pointed out to me that the T-45 is heavier and underpowered etc - but it always felt like a bit of a truck and rather lacking in control authority. Not a particularly “fun” jet to fly (though it’s still a nice product overall).
All the best! : )
Well now you can, what you think?
Hi Shot in the Dark,
I presume that question was aimed at AngryPrawn was it?
@@IntotheBlueSimulations ah yes, now they can enjoy the fast jet.
So excited for this one, grew up watching them at Blackpool airport. Top quality review as always!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video : )
Ah well I expect you’ll enjoy this one all the more then! I’m sure it’ll be nice to sit in the cockpit of an aircraft you grew up with, even if it is virtually. Just Flight have done a lovely job with the Hawk, so I think you’ll find it’s been worth the wait. Shouldn’t be too long now!
Thanks again and all the best!
A Fantastic Comprehensive review ! Nicely Done ! Graphics through the Loop looked amazing ! So Realistic! 👍🙏🏻👨✈️✈️
Thanks very much Lee! Really glad you enjoyed it once again. All the best : )
Brilliant. Nice preview. I can’t wait for its release.
Thanks Snowy! Yeah, I know a lot of us have been looking forward to this one. Shouldn’t be too long now : )
All the best!
Thank you for the tour.
Great information.
My absolute pleasure, CO! I’m really glad you found the video useful.
Many thanks and all the best : )
Wow I was so excited to see this! It means it's even closer to release! I've been watching this development since it was announced! Can't wait to fly it from RAF Valley, round the Mach loop and then some ILS missed approaches at Liverpool - exactly what I've seen them doing for years! It looks absolutely spot on and kudos to JF for releasing yet another perfect addon! Their Arrow is still the best aircraft in the sim imo. Keep up the good work with these top quality videos too!
Yep, shouldn’t be too long now Rob - a week or two most likely! I believe the aircraft is more or less ready to go, Just Flight are just holding off a little, to see how things pan out with the next sim update (makes sense).
Once again it is indeed a very high quality product from the JF team. They really seem to have upped their game in MSFS (not that was lacking before). Great to see and the Hawk is a real joy as a result. You’ll be bothering the Liverpool traffic before you know it! ; )
Glad you’re enjoying the content. Thanks very much and all the best! : )
Nice - already looks like this is the best fast jet in msfs. Really glad you spent some time exploring the performance envelope and going into some detail.
Happy to see you fly out of Aberporth too, I love the area IRL and it's my "home" airfield in msfs.
Yeah, easily the best fast jet in the sim to date. With the exception of the flight model lacking a bit at the extremes, the JF Hawk very much feels like it could slip into DCS nicely.
I like Aberporth as a little base of operations for visiting the Mach Loop. It’s a nice short easy run up the coast, the airfield has a bit of character and the runway is just long enough to accommodate most aircraft. Surprised I haven’t bumped into you there then haha.
Cheers Roland, hope you’re doing well! : )
Excellent review. Appreciate the detail you have put into this video. Very balanced and professional critique. Waiting patiently for this release. Hopefully soon.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it to be fair etc. I have to say I enjoyed every second of being out in the Hawk, which always makes these sorts of videos a bit easier ; )
I gather you shall have to wait no more! Standing by for a deluge of traffic down the Mach Loop this weekend! XD
Thanks again and all the best : )
That was brilliant, seen the arrows in Galway in the early 2000s fantastic they are, nice video, thanks man.
Cheers James! My pleasure as always. Yeah, obviously I’m a little bit biased, but the Red’s certainly put on one of the best shows out there! ; )
Glad you enjoyed it. All the best! : )
Great Preview… absolutely loved my Easter Egg .. superbly done! 👍🏽😁👍🏽
Thank you very much! Really glad you enjoyed it and full marks for making it all the way to the end ; )
Cheers! All the best : )
Excellent, excellent video. So informative and a joy to watch and listen to somebody who knows what they doing. Thank you, can't wait to try to emulate this flight in the Hawk.
Thank you very much William, really happy to hear you enjoyed it : )
You shouldn’t have to wait too long for the Hawk now. Happy flying!
All the best!
More reasons to get excited. Thanks for the preview!
Absolutely! I’m hoping JF might follow this up with their Tornado and their Vulcan (which I’ve been having a lot of fun flying recently) at some point! Just Flight really seem to be upping their (already solid) game in MSFS!
My pleasure as always. Thanks for watching : )
Thanks for this. Once again a great preview! I’ll most likely get this once it’s available.
My pleasure Rutch, glad you enjoyed it! The Hawk is a great jet; I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it if you pick it up : D
Thanks, all the best! : )
Like you I'm very excited for this one, together with a bunch of friends. Had the DCS Hawk before it got pulled, so much fun to fly. Thanks for the early look as always.
Yes!!! Smoke on!
Haha, don’t get me started on the VEAO one Dan. I purchased that module, only for it to be pulled about 2 weeks later. Never even got the chance to fly it : /
It’s a shame; an aircraft like the Hawk would be such good fun in DCS (both for combat and formation flying etc). The Just Flight Hawk feels like it could slip right into DCS for the most part.
The wait shouldn’t be too much longer now. Hopefully only a week or two (I think it really depends on how many surprises the new sim update throws up).
My pleasure on the video. Thanks very much and “smoke on” haha! : D
fantastic video! can't wait for this plane, I'm so glad it's living up to the hype!
Thanks very much Lior, glad you enjoyed it!
Seems a lot of people are looking forward to this one and I think everyone is going to be really happy with it (I certainly was anyway). Shouldn’t have to wait too long now!
All the best : )
Pleasure to watch, as always. I can't wait, I nearly wore out the F5 key waiting for this until I realised nothing would happen before SU6. Can't begin to say how excited I am to see someone has their hands on a preview copy so it's nearly here ! :) JF's preview startup video started with some mucking about in the back cockpit, nice to see that seems to be optional :) Bit scary to see that a run around the loop and some aerobatics used a third of a tank of gas, just like the goshawk (who'd have imagined ...) this isn't something you'd want to plan a long tour in !
Thanks very much once again ceegnz! Glad you enjoyed it.
Haha, I was doing the same with my emails; hitting refresh far too often, to see whether or not I had received anything from Just Flight XD
As you rightly guessed, I think JF are holding off to see what state the sim is in after the next update, but otherwise I believe the aircraft is more or less ready to go. Shouldn’t have to wait too long now!
There is a tiny bit of mucking around in the back required if you plan to start from cold and dark; but as a bare minimum, you can get away with only flicking 2 switches.
I was cracking around everywhere at 400kts to be fair and the fuel figures might be slightly off due to flying a couple of scenes twice / using active pause etc; but overall your assessment sounds about right - it probably was about 1/3rd of a tank, for a relatively short trip. Definitely not going to be setting any endurance records in the little Hawk haha.
All the best! : )
You have confirmed my purchase decision
Been waiting for a decent review
Looking forward to this one
Ah well I’m really happy you found the preview useful Alan! The Hawk is a really nice effort from Just Flight; I think / hope you’ll enjoy it.
Thanks very much, all the best! : )
Anther wonderful vid. I particularly enjoyed the footage from the rear cockpit. I am really enjoying the existing Goshawk in the sim so I could feel my wallet getting lighter watching your review for this one. Its really lovely to hear the words 'study level' more often with these reviews. Many thanks.
Thanks very much once again Terry!
If you’re enjoying the Goshawk, I’m sure you will love the Hawk. Haha, I’m afraid the wallet might take a bit of a hit, but worth every penny in my opinion.
Indeed, the sim does seem to be finding its feet re decent addons etc now. “Study level” can often be somewhat subjective, but (minus the flight model needing some work at the extremes perhaps) it certainly ticked all the boxes for me!
Cheers, all the best : )
What an absolute masterpiece on the cinematics 🤩🤩
Thanks very much AAG! Really glad you enjoyed the video : )
All the best!
Saving this video for after my flight. Will be so nice to go for a cruise with a cup of coffee and ‘Into the Blue’ in the front seat tomorrow am. Have held off flying the Mach Loop till this module releases. Can’t wait :)
Hope you had a nice flight then Nor Cat.
I didn’t realise you were bringing a cup of coffee along for the ride - I’d have avoided the negative G’s if I’d known! : P
This aircraft will be the perfect choice for your entry onto the MSFS Mach Loop then; I’m sure you’ll have great fun! Shouldn’t have to wait too long now. . .
Thanks very much and all the best : )
This is it. I've grown up with them on Anglesey. This is one of things I got into MSFS for.
Ah well hopefully the Hawk will be well worth the wait then Connor - I think it will be ; )
All the best! : )
Great preview, this will be an immediate purchase on release. Can't wait to try the mach loop in this baby.
Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed it. You shouldn’t have to wait too long now; have fun when the time comes! : D
Cheers!
So excited for this!
I think there’s a lot to be excited for with this little jet Cavy! Shouldn’t have to wait too long now ; )
Cheers, all the best! : )
I'm constantly blown away by your familiarity with the terrain.
You: "Here's a road on our right. It's named A-34J-Q and was built by a man named Kevin"
Me: "Whelp, make a leftish turn at the trees."
Haha thanks - I tried my best to get an understanding of the “lay of the land” before starting my Mach Loop series. Learning how to pronounce the names was the tricky part XD
“Left at the trees” is also a valid technique haha! : D
@@IntotheBlueSimulations yeah, I was yesterday years old, after watching your video when I learnt "Mach Loop" wasn't referring to speed. Lol
Haha, I only became aware of it in the last year or so. My mind was a bit blown when I found out XD
I guess some clever RAF chap came up with the little play on words.
Travis “exactly what I say every time”
@into the Blue Simulation, I can hear your “ladies and Gentlemen from the flight deck”information without even being on your AC. 😜
Just bought it, best decision ive ever made in msfs, truly an amazing aircraft and the detail is incredible
Ah brilliant. Really glad to hear you’re enjoying it! Having a blast in it myself.
Happy flying! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations :D
Outstanding review...thanks much.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it - my pleasure : )
All the best!
Oh you got your hands on it! I can't wait. Lucky Man.
Haha, I did indeed! I was almost like a kid at Christmas when I saw the email from Just Flight XD
Shouldn’t have to wait too long now hopefully. I think the aircraft is pretty much ready for release, but Just Flight are holding fire until the effects of the next sim update have been felt. It’ll be worth the wait though for sure : )
All the best!
Yes, we are all wanting to see what SU6 does to the sim. It will be a day one purchase for me when it drops.
Haha, indeed. Sim updates - never a dull moment XD
Brilliant video, just makes me more excited to get it now. I said to Just Flight that the cockpit "smells" like a military jet. Looking at the details and texture it evokes that fuel/oil/metal smell that you get in a military jet. I hope it feels that real when I get my VR headset on. So looking forward to flying it. Thanks for the smoke pass, that was epic! 👌👍
Thanks very much once again! Glad you enjoyed the flyby (full points for making it to the end of the video hehe).
I know exactly what you mean; some addons manage to pull that feeling off, others don’t (maybe smellivision will be JFs next move haha). I really like the cockpit of the Hawk, haven’t tried it in VR yet myself mind you. If you’ve picked it up, hope you’re enjoying it! I’d imagine there’s going to be a bit of a traffic jam on the Mach Loop this weekend haha.
All the best! : )
Super vid again 👍. Looks like the bar will be set higher again with the release of the Hawk ( which is great news for MSFS , in my opinion ) . I was wearing my headphones while watching the vid , and gotta say that the sounds were fantastic ( especially the turbine spool up 👍) . Goes to show , you can have the highest quality visual details , but the sound package can either make or break an add on , in my opinion .
See what you mean. We're especially proud of the work our sound engineer has done on this one. Very very special indeed in our opinion.
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it : )
Indeed; in my opinion, the Hawk does rather raise the bar once again. The sounds are excellent and certainly “make” the aircraft. I never used to be too bothered by sounds, but I’ve come to realise just how crucial they are. Not only do they add a lot of atmosphere and make an addon feel more alive / immersive, but they are also one of the only ways we can actually get feedback from the aircraft. I’ve got to the point now, where if I flick a switch and I don’t hear anything, it just kills the experience for me haha.
All the best!
This released yesterday (Friday 22nd October 2021 over at Just flight) she is amazing spent nearly all friday night getting to grips with this fantastic and classic fast jet trainer. Fantastic to see that Just flight managed to get the current 2021 Red Arrows livery in the release too. I can see myself trying to find another 8 purchasers to play red arrows in training students. Rob / Artful.
Really glad you’re enjoying it Rob, I think it’s an absolutely brilliant little jet!
I was also very pleasantly surprised to see that the most recent Red Arrows livery made it in - the MSFS Red Arrows needs to happen for sure (might be a bit tricky though, with players “ghosting” in and out in close proximity).
Cheers! Happy flying : )
Very nicely presented!
Thanks very much Jason, glad you enjoyed it! : )
It seems JustFlight know what they are doing. Also excellent video. I thought more than 40 min is a bit long but you made it quite interesting.
Very much so I think Mueflo! Just Flight really seem to have raised their game coming into MSFS (not that it was lacking before). Looking forward to the Hawk and their future projects also.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, they do tend to end up a bit long haha; I generally try to keep them in the form of a complete flight, so they’re generally around the 40 minute mark.
Thanks very much and all the best! : )
outstanding!
Thank you very much Tony! Glad you enjoyed it : )
All the best!
"It's the most shiny and the most red" - if that's not a good reason for choosing the livery, I don't know what is. 😉 A fantastic preview of the Hawk; it was great seeing views from the rear cockpit and I loved the display section - great flying skills.
Haha, well that’s what I thought Rich : P
Thank you very much once again, really glad you enjoyed the flight!
All the best : )

One of my favourite planes.
As always excellent review sir.
Thank you very much. My CC refused to send greetings to you🤣 but it doesn't matters. She is always jealous if I look into you channel lol.
Take care
Likewise, I’m very fond of the Hawk and Just Flight have really done the little jet justice.
Haha, I wouldn’t blame your credit card if it never wants to see me again! XD
All the best! : )
I think you're probably the best flightsim TH-camr I've seen. Which planes have you flown in real life?
Well thanks very much indeed Jay! I certainly try my best to produce decent videos, so it’s always really great to hear when someone is enjoying the content.
I’ve flown quite a mix of different aircraft types over the years, but spent most of my time on the single engine GA stuff previously (PA28, C152 etc). For my day job I’m on the Airbus (of which I have flown a couple of members of the family over the years). Sadly I’ve never flown anything quite as exciting as the Hawk though haha. That’s one of the reasons I love the sim; at least I get to try out all of these amazing machines (that I’ll probably never get the chance to fly) in some capacity - it’s great fun to learn how they work at the very least.
Thanks again and all the best! : )
Yet another terrific video, and the Hawk looks like a must-buy! Shame they won't have modelled the Hawk 127 that we use in RAAF, but never mind, I'll just have to pretend I'm in the RAF!
Thank you very much John! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it : )
Indeed - the Hawk would certainly make it onto my own personal “must-buy” list at any rate, great fun!
I’d imagine some young, dynamic repainter will at least knock up a couple of RAAF liveries for the Hawk. Otherwise, a short secondment to rainy old Blighty might be just the ticket ; )
All the best!
Love it👍👍👍👍
Yep, shaping up to be another very nice offering from Just Flight!
Cheers Kevin, all the best : )
Finally an aircraft that is alive, both in sound and moving through the air. Initial impression was maybe too much alive, as a weapon platform and tight formation in Red Arrows.
- But - Checking real life in cockpit videos - Just Flight is very close to real life, a bit softer and it would be spot on.
I own a similar aircraft in M$F$. It was a kind of meh -- After an hour flight I put it permanently in the hangar. This Hawk is huge step forward.
Thanks for the review!!!!!!!
Indeed Øystein, the Hawk certainly feels very much more alive than most MSFS aircraft. I get the impression Just Flight have done the best that they can, within the bounds of the sim; the flight model isn’t perfect perhaps, but it’s really rather good overall (at least it feels that way to me).
Yeah, I enjoyed “the other Hawk” in its own way, but saw it more as a “systems trainer”. To fly, it didn’t feel great and the external sounds were always lacking. The Hawk is a totally different beast though!
My pleasure once again! Thanks and all the best : )
Well this looks rather interesting! Especially since I don't have the Goshawk anymore.
Thanks for the preview!
Thanks Dream!
Ah yes, your unfortunate loss of the Hawk. . . Well it’s frustrating having to purchase a module, to replace one that you lost through poor practices on Asobo’s / Microsoft’s part; but the Hawk rather blows the T-45 out of the water, so it’s well worth considering in its own right. If you do pick it up at some point, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it! : )
Cheers!
What happened to your Goshawk?
@@FlyBoyRez So I used to have the game with the Xbox game pass since I wanted to try the game.
Well turns out I actually enjoy the game and decided to get myself some add ons. One of them was the Goshawk.
But the Microsoft store is a massive pain the ass to deal with when it comes to updates.
So one evening I had enough and thought okay since I'm using my same Xbox account even if I buy the game on Steam I should have no issues and still have my add ons.
Well bought the game on Steam and goodbye add ons.
Are you suuuure you didn’t just crash it? : P
I still think that was very unfair, that your addons didn’t transfer across. I suppose it’s actually a good incentive *not* to buy on the Marketplace. . .
Nice video. You sound just like an RAF Instructor pilot.
Haha, well thanks very much Jim! Sadly I’m nearly as qualified, or cool - but I’ll take it nonetheless ; )
Glad you enjoyed the video! All the best : )
Excellent video. I enjoy the mach loop ones. The Hawk looks brilliant, clearly a joy to fly. Hopefully it'll end up on the marketplace someday, but given the current issues Just Flight are having with Microsoft, I won't hold my breath!
I'm already blue in the face. Can you give me the crib notes of what's going on? ... Just Flight seems to have the highest quality aircraft by far, but I'm losing my mind waiting for their stuff on Xbox :(
Thanks very much Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.
Indeed, another very nice effort from Just Flight and a very enjoyable aircraft. I certainly hope it ends up on the Marketplace - it’s a travesty that you guys are still waiting on the Arrow! Very odd. . .
Fingers crossed! All the best : )
Literally salivating ,
Haha, well I just make the videos Daren - I take no responsibility for dealing with the end result! XD
All the best!
Hopefully the T2 will follow in short order
Wouldn’t that be nice Chris! Unfortunately I don’t think it’s planned for now. I know Just Flight have a lot of other stuff on their plates at the moment, but I suppose we never know what the future holds : )
All the best!
Another excellent video - thank you :-). I liked the kinda 'Top Gun' riffage in the middle of the video with the external shots :-). Found the control column curious in that the joystick and column could move independently of one another. Also, wasnt sure what the LCD type panel (or at least I think thats what is) in the centre of the cockpit was for - a GPS?. Looks a really nice aircraft with great audio and one I think i'll go for when it releases on the the strength of this excellent preview :-). Easter egg was awesome :-) Also just to assist there were no stutters or micro stutters this end. Best Wishes ITBS.
Thanks James, my pleasure as always! Glad you enjoyed it.
The control column is somewhat unusual, but not unique. The Spitfire is similar for example. Maybe it’s a British thing haha. The unit at the front of the cockpit is indeed a GPS. It just uses the sims default GPS system. The unit can be removed if desired - obviously it sits rather in the way otherwise.
Well, it shouldn’t be too long to wait before it releases. I believe the aircraft is more or less ready to go; I think Just Flight are holding off to see how the next sim update pans out first. If you do pick it up, I hope you enjoy it (and I think you will)!
Glad you enjoyed the flyby and thanks very much for the feedback also - great to hear : )
Be great to have this with full smoke
Ah, well if you fancy it, perhaps take a look at the very last few seconds of the video then Tom ; )
In all seriousness though, the aircraft does in fact come with an optional Red Arrows smoke pod. Quite nicely implemented (working controls etc) and red, white and blue smoke!
All the best : )
My only critique is the panel (looks like a GPS with a red button) obscuring some of the forward view. It would be great to have a click-to-hide option.
Yes, if you wish you can hide it @Stewie PID
Hi Stewie,
As mentioned by Just Flight, the GPS unit is very easy to remove. The aircraft comes with the typical Just Flight EFB / tablet and the GPS can be removed via that. It can be switched out with a gunsight or removed altogether : )
Cheers!
Engine sounds......Delisimo!!!
Aren’t they just! Slightly lacking that “roar” that you get in DCS, but otherwise the aircraft sounds are almost faultless. I felt a bit remiss turning the sounds down, so as not to deafen you all during the video haha.
All the best!
I luv ur vids thx
Well thanks very much Dempster, my pleasure! Always great to hear when someone is enjoying the content. Much appreciated : )
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I must say to me ur reviews are the best on here.. & I watch them all.. very good indeed thx
Ah well that’s very kind of you to say indeed Dempster! Thanks very much for your support of the channel, really glad you’re enjoying it : )
Very nice looking aircraft. Am also incredibly impressed with how you have the sim looking. Is that plain vanilla scenery for the Mach loop? Best I've seen it look. Would be very interested in seeing your settings.
Yeah, just Flight have done a really nice job with it! There were a number of occasions where I was looking at it on screen and honestly would have believed it was real, if I hadn’t of known otherwise.
Everything in the sim during the video was stock (with the exception of the Hawk of course). Settings-wise, I have things setup pretty simply: Everything is on “High-End” except I turn Motion Blur off. I also turn off AI Traffic and I’ve recently taken to turning off Road Traffic as well (I like the effect, but there are too many flying cars at the moment haha). I’m running at 1080p with FPS locked at 60.
Nothing special with my settings really, but I’ve come to realise that lighting conditions / weather are what really makes the sim look good or bad. Generally I like to use live weather, but for videos I’ll occasionally tweak the weather to give the desired effect (as I did here). I think in a funny way that TH-cam compression also makes the sim look better in the video than it does in reality - it tends to “smooth” out a lot of the blemishes.
Hope that helps a bit. All the best! : )
Loved the mb339, the goshawk I think needs an update or 2 but I still fly it a lot and now the hawk is promising to be everything I was hoping for. There are some truly awful attempts in the market place (Xbox) that deserve to be shown up and hopefully make the developers up their game. Love your insights and passion for the hobby.
Thanks very much once again Chief!
I actually reinstalled the MB339 and the T-45 recently. I’d forgotten just how good the 339 is! Great fun. The T-45 is decent, but the flight model never felt quite right to me. Even if it is accurate, I don’t find the T-45 all that “fun” to fly, based on how it handles. I gather the T-45 is both heavier and underpowered vs the Hawk and boy can you tell (if these simulations are anything to go by)! The Hawk is an excellent aircraft though, a joy in almost every respect.
Apparently Just Flight have been having some issues getting their products allowed onto the Marketplace (at least that’s the rumours I’ve heard); laughable, given the quality of some of the other stuff that makes it onto there. . .
Cheers, very much appreciated! All the best : )
Enjoyed the vid - The Hawk was my favorite AC - i was on Exchange w the RAF - flying several of their trainers (Gnat, Hunter, and Hawk) - while on Duty w the RAF Command Airstaff, i really pushed them to incorporate an AOA (angle of attack indicator) system - not sure they ever incorporated it.??
Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed it!
Well that all sounds like jolly good fun! Can’t say I’m not a little envious - they are all aircraft I’m rather fond of haha. I’m not *that* familiar with the Hawk (that I could give you a firm answer), but if the Just Flight version is anything to go by, it would appear not (in the T-2 perhaps? . .).
An AOA indicator sounds rather too sensible for us Brits though - much better to just bolt on a massive retrofitted GPS unit, right in the pilots field of view instead XD
Where were you on exchange from (if you don’t mind me asking)?
All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations USAF-RAf exchange program - attended their Staff College at RAF Bracknell' assigned to RAF tng HQ at RAF Brampton, flew out of RAF Valley. had a hellava tour with the Brits.
Ah, well it’s great to hear that you had a nice time with us! I’m sure the weather was rubbish, but I hope you enjoyed the fish and chips and the occasional warm beer! ; )
Thanks for sharing. Cheers! : )
The main instrument panel seems oddly 2D to me. Looking back at your Goshawk video, the T-45's cockpit modelling seemed more three dimensional. I'm sure the sky conditions may have something to do with it, but that is what jumped out at me.
Interesting shipdriver. That wasn’t really something I felt / noticed myself at the time. The lighting probably plays a part as you say; I think the Hawks panel is somewhat more 2D, with the lack of a full HUD and the UFC. Looking at the real world Hawk, it does have quite a flat main panel (though maybe the Just Flight version is a little more 2D than the real world cockpit). Whilst the Hawk and the T-45 are broadly the same airframe and systems, the cockpits are quite different overall.
I have to say, I really like the cockpit of the JF Hawk, but maybe that’s just me haha.
Cheers, all the best! : )
MSFS seriously needs a fly by view….
Doesn’t it just John! It is somewhat doable now, with the use of a 3rd party recording tool (I don’t know whether you caught my flyby at the end of the video), but it’s currently rather a lot of work to set up. I can’t imagine it would be that hard to implement natively, but there seems to be a lot of little such fixes and improvements that haven’t been very forthcoming as of yet. . .
All the best! : )
It definitely needs the old 'Tower' view bringing back. That was so much fun for impromptu airshows!
Ahhh the “Tower View”. Simpler times. . .
Love this plane although the slightest bit of wind and its near impossible to keep it on the runway on take off.
Hi CT,
The Hawk is indeed a brilliant effort from Just Flight and one of my favourite aircraft in the sim. I agree though, it can get rather squirrel-y in a crosswind (I find using a bit of braking tends to help, though I suspect that isn’t accurate).
All the best! : )
I’ve watched 2 of these vids now on the T1. The engine start sounds are a bit lacking. The adour in the Hawk makes a very distinctive sound when it starts up. It’s hard to describe but it’s a very deep growl/hum. Apart from that it looks & sounds very nice.
To be fair, some of that may be down to me having to reduce the volume, to balance out the sound levels for the video. Certainly early on in the start process, you do get that growl and it sounds really good too. It tails off after a few seconds though - I’m not sure how accurate that is vs the real Adour?
The engine sounds could certainly still be improved (there a bit of a lack of “growl” when the aircraft is viewed front-on etc), but overall I think the aircraft sounds great and is definitely one of the strongest modules in the sim currently re the sounds.
Cheers, all the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations the growl only last 3 seconds or so. It’s quite distinctive & quite loud. Glad it’s there.
Ah, well it sounds like Just Flight probably have it spot on then! There is indeed a very distinctive growl early on in the startup, lasting for around 3 seconds. I can’t recall how an Ardour sounds on startup, but the engine note on the JF Hawk is a little similar to a GE90 spooling up (initially). Unfortunately I’ll not get the chance to fully review the aircraft for a few days or so, but I’ll try and better demonstrate the sounds when I come to do so : )
Cheers, all the best!
Release Iminent about flipping time we all have been waiting for this iconic fast jet trainer - God Save the Queen x
Looking forward to the Virtual red arrows first display in this version as the one in DCS is good but having them display in MSFS will be something else.
Haha, I think the jet is more or less ready to go, but Just Flight are waiting to see how the next sim update unfolds. Overall I think it will be well worth the wait though ; )
Haha, indeed - God save the Queen!
Yes, I’m sure that will become a thing. I actually applied for the DCS Red Arrows team once upon a time haha, unfortunately I wasn’t able to meet the time commitments in the end though. Probably a lucky escape for them! XD
The only issue with this sort of thing in MSFS; other players do tend to “ghost” out before one can get within particularly close range. That might make flying in formation somewhat difficult. That was my experience when I tried it in the past anyway, maybe it’s been improved somewhat since then. . .
Either way, whether one is part of the virtual Red Arrows, or just blasting down the Mach Loop with friends - the Hawk should be great fun!
All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Yes I agree the Ghosting will be an issue lets hope MSFS see the advertisement advantages of allowing all the virtual display teams remove that ghosting somewhere down the road as having all the top virtual display teams use MSFS instead of DCS would be such a game changer.
Like many things in the sim, it’d be nice if Asobo simply gave us the option to turn it on or off (I can see why the functionality is there - given the multiplayer nature of the sim).
Cheers!
Another great video, thanks for sharing. I’m curious which mod you use for replays from different camera angles. It irks me that it’s not built into MSFS. Would be good to know what you recommend.
Hi Thomas, thanks very much once again!
I use this tool for recording:
github.com/nguyenquyhy/Flight-Recorder
It’s free and works really nicely overall! It is indeed a shame that there’s no native recording tool in the sim; I gather one is in the way, but who knows how long that will take and indeed how useable it’s actually going to be.
Give the above a try and see what you think. It’s very easy to use and works pretty seamlessly with the sim.
Cheers again! All the best : )
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll give it a try.
My pleasure! Cheers Thomas : )
Enjoyed the video, just wondering: how does it compare to the MB-339? I really enjoy the MB but am always looking for new (and better) experiences/
Thanks very much Mark, glad you enjoyed it!
I would say the Hawk is definitely on another level from the M-339 (though I very much enjoy the 339 myself also). The flight model feels more comprehensive (to me) and the systems certainly are. Really in almost every respect, the Hawk is a higher fidelity product. It’s already become one of my favourite products for the sim. Of course that’s just my opinion, but I think the Hawk is a really great addon and does indeed offer a better experience overall.
Hope that helps a bit. All the best : )
No copilot in 1st person, come on devs!!!!! Dino did it with the MB-339, it's such a massive immersion boost to see your copilot there. Sadly Dino didn't do it either with the goshawk so no buy there. At the least give us the option as you implied it was going to be a thing and it didn't happen.
Thanks for that feedback. Dev team currently looking into this so hopefully it's something we can add in a future update.
@@scottphillips9795 Holy hell, amazing as always JF team. BTW, The Hawk I can't put it down, it's an amazing addition to my hanger along with all the Pipers.
One of the few improvements I mentioned it would be nice to see, during my full review of the aircraft. Really enjoyed that little touch in the MB339, was disappointed it wasn’t replicated on the T-45. If Just Flight manage to implement it, that’ll do just fine by me. Can’t really see myself flying the T-45 much, now that I have the Hawk. It certainly all adds to the immersion.
All the best! : )
That will be brilliant if it comes to fruition Scott!
Who’d be a developer hey? You guys create a masterpiece and then we always want more ; )
Looks great, does it support multicrew ?
Hello Mike,
Yes, it’s a really nice effort from Just Flight. As far as I’m aware, multicrew is not currently supported I’m afraid. Would certainly be great to see though! Perhaps Just Flight will develop such functionality, when it becomes a native option within the sim.
All the best : )
Is this going to be available on Xbox at all? Great review as usual!
Hi Sam,
I gather you found an answer to your question (although TH-cam deleted the post unfortunately). Unfortunately Just Flight don’t seem to be having too much luck getting their products onto the Marketplace. I don’t think it’s for lack of trying though; so I’ve no idea what’s going on there. . . Sounds like it might be a while before the Hawk makes it to the Xbox, but hopefully it will eventually!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks very much and all the best : )
Not sure if you mentioned this in the video but, can you hide/remove that heads up display unit at the top?
Yes you can.
You can indeed Fontana (as Just Flight mentions). The aircraft comes with the option of a fitted GPS, gunsight, or neither : )
All the best!
How do you get the GPS vertical like that? mine is always horizontal and blocks the G meter and weapon guard.
Unfortunately (in my opinion at least), Just Flight opted to go with the horizontal GPS configuration for the release version of the aircraft. I know some people prefer the horizontal version, for the improved forward visibility; I’m hoping maybe they’ll give us the option to chose between the two, when the aircraft is updated.
In the mean time (as far as I’m aware) horizontal is the only option I’m afraid.
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thats a shame, hopefully they add the vertical option back, whenever I try and click the 'map' button it just goes through the GNS and "arms" my weapons instead lol.
Hahaha, well that could certainly cause some issues. . . Yeah, I’m hoping they do the same. I’m sure they’ll clean up the clickspots at the very least haha.
Cheers! : )
Wow how do you manage to take off on the centre line like that - I can barely manage to keep her on the tarmac (quite often can’t)…
Hi John,
The main technique I find that helps, is to use braking initially (as opposed to rudder), to keep it on the centreline. Rudder authority is virtually nonexistent initially and nosweheel steering seems to lock-out at quite low speed. Unless I need a big correction, I just dab the brakes, otherwise it was just a case of practice and getting a feel for the aircraft.
Hope that helps a bit! All the best : )
What I want to know is, as there's no "Clear Prop!" is there an alternative like "Clear Jet Burner!" or something :P
Haha, well there are hand signals I suppose; but I guess the logic is - if you aren’t sharp enough to be out of the way, by the time it’s taken the engine to spool up - you deserve what’s coming to you! : P
Now out of personal opinion - this one or the goshawk ? - I'm on Xbox so goshawk available now but this one might be a while
My personal opinion; Hawk all the way! The Goshawk is a nice enough addon, but the flight model still feels a bit strange to me (it has been pointed out that the Goshawk is heavier and underpowered compared with the Hawk, but even if the flight model is accurate, it makes the aircraft less “fun” to fly). Really in just about every respect, the Hawk is the superior product.
Only downside with the Hawk, it could well be a while before it’s on the Marketplace as you say.
Hope that helps a bit, all the best! : )
The digital altitude goes from 1900ft to 1000ft and then the 2 flops over to give 2000. Would that be authentic?
Hi Duke,
I couldn’t say for sure on the Hawk specifically, but that’s probably not correct no. The gauge needs just a little tweaking perhaps, to have the 1,000s window roll over a little sooner.
Cheers! : )
Looking great, but, from the external shots during the Mach Loop it seems to suffer the same lack of yaw inertia as other third party jets. I wonder what it is in the sim that makes this so difficult to model?
Are you referring to the aircraft yaw bouncing left and right? I’ve seen this in many planes and it sucks, just isn’t real as far as I know anyway.
@@WhiteHawk77 Yes, That's exactly what seems to happen in these modified models. Affects every 3rd party jet I've tried. On some it shows up as almost zero yaw inertia with resulting 'yaw wobble', especially on a take-off roll. This Hawk doesn't seem too bad.
@@ColinDyckes I see this in all the aircraft. Flying the Bonanza G36 quite a lot at the moment and it's quite pronounced in that too.
Hi Colin,
Indeed - funnily enough I didn’t notice it so much at the time (as the aircraft was getting a bit bumped around anyway) but I definitely noticed the same behaviour when watching the footage back. I’m afraid I have no idea where the issue lies in the sim; the Hawk’s flight model does seem like a step in the right direction overall though.
I guess (hope) the sim will get to where we want it to be incrementally; I certainly wish we were seeing more work from Asobo to address the issues that we all know exist though - a lot of the updates tend to be fixing niff naff it seems.
All the best!
The Hawk can still get a bit wobbly on takeoff; any rudder input still tends to result in quite a bit of roll as well. Again, a very typical MSFS issue unfortunately. . .
Now I already have the Indiafoxecho T45 Goshawk (since 2 weeks) will this be a complete different or in any way better experience?
Hi Rene,
Probably not the answer you were hoping for, but the Hawk is a significantly better product in my opinion. It depends on what one is looking for of course though. The two aircraft are broadly the same in terms of texturing and modelling. The Hawk’s sounds are vastly superior, as is its systems modelling. Flight modelling is a bit trickier to judge (as the two airframes aren’t identical), but the Hawk seems to have a significant advantage there as well (in my opinion). The Hawk also comes with basic weapons implementation as well as a smoke pod. The T-45 has the bonus of being carrier capable (when that’s eventually implemented in the sim). If you’re just looking to have some fun, the T-45 is decent; the Hawk is a much more “study level” jet overall though. I’ll be happy to answer any more questions if you want to know specifics.
Hope that helps a bit! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations bought it! Very nice, have to discover all yet. Manual 135 pages! Yeahhh
Ah, awesome. Well I’m very glad to hear you’re enjoying it! Yeah, there’s certainly quite a bit of depth to the aircraft haha, so it takes a bit of time to sit down and learn.
Happy flying! : )
What is that blank screen device which is blocking the forward view? Can it be removed?
GPS. Yes it can be removed.
Hi Peter,
As Just Flight mentions, it’s a GPS and it can indeed be removed. It can be swapped out for a gunsight, or removed altogether : )
All the best!
So, what does the center panel do? Is it GPS?
It is indeed Jon. A nice little clunky British retrofit haha. The Just Flight version simply utilises the sims default GPS, but the unit can be switched out for a gunsight, or removed altogether.
All the best : )
I got the t45, so didnt think id get this, but now im keen !! Does that screen up front work?
Hi Brandon,
I’m sure a lot of people will be in the same boat: The T45 and the Hawk are roughly on a par when it comes to the modelling and texturing. They’re close on systems modelling, though the Hawk seemingly has more depth. Where the Hawk really wins out is with the sounds and the flight model. Both a vastly superior vs the T45 in my opinion. The Hawk is certainly worthy of consideration at any rate.
The screen does indeed work, thought it only uses the default GPS (the unit can also be removed for improved visibility).
All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thats great news, i will probably get it if not too exspensive. The fact its more of steam cockpit compared to the t45s glass also sets it apart. With the autopilot, is it just an attitude hold type one or can it follow plans and approaches etc
It’ll be retailing at £32.99 Brandon (+ a 25% discount if you previously purchased the FSX or P3D version through Just Flight). I’m always more of a fan of steam gauges myself and the JF Hawk is better than the T-45 in most respects (not to bash the T-45).
I couldn’t give you the exact specifics with autopilot I’m afraid , haven’t tried it myself yet - but it appeared to have HDG hold, NAV hold, ALT hold etc. In short it seems to have all of the basic functionality one would need, to fly the aircraft accurately enroute (albeit you won’t get very far, with the Hawk’s range such as it is haha).
Hope that helps a little. I’ve cover such things in the review for sure : )
Cheers!
Do you use TrackIR? And if so, how do you make it so smooth? Mine is acting like I'm suffering from severe Parkinson if I move my head too fast.
Do you have a lot of light in the room, lights or reflections behind you?
I do indeed Andreas.
Haha, well I suppose there are a number of factors that come into play. As Whitehawk rightly suggests, reducing / removing any background light / reflections certainly helps. I use the Track Clip Pro as well, which I find gives somewhat improved fluidity (particular when sat further away from the TrackIR unit). Hardware aside though, setting up a decent profile is key. It can be quite fiddly to get right, but I’ve got it to a point where I’m now pretty happy with it. Feel free to send me an email intotheblueinbox@gmail.com and I’ll send you over my profile if you like.
Cheers, all the best! : )
That can certainly make a huge difference. Nothing more annoying when I’m recording, than to have the video ruined by TrackIR flipping out, as the sun hits a certain angle etc XD
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks for the response and advices, I'm actually thinking of getting a Track Clip Pro. My TrackIR-settings are not THAT bad but some things, like tuning a radio or using other small clickspots in midair, can be hard to execute if I'm not holding my head perfectly still.
I really enjoyed this video..👍 now I need a varjo 3800€ VR HMD and a RTX 5090TI (3500€) and I can start flying...lol
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed it : )
Haha, that’s quite the shopping list! Would be epic though I’m sure. I’m very much looking forward to the day we have affordable, high-resolution, high-FOV VR (with the tech to match).
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations yep got a HTC vive pro2 here and a RTX3090....but it can hardly cope at even medium settings...pffff no use forking out 3800€ for a VArjo Vr HMD when there is no pc that can handle it...
Haha, I’ve got an RTX2080 - so I’m sure you can imagine what that’s like XD
It’ll all get there one day I expect. . .
Cheers! : )
Again we have a military jet with a TACAN receiver. Alas, Asobo still ignore the functionality of TACAN in their sim! I've posted tickets but Asobo ignore them. Realistic Sims require navigation instrumentation that functions!
I’m afraid so David. Just Flight do make it clear that only the DME will function, not ideal though of course. Unfortunately TACAN is just one of the many, items that Asobo need to address and given that fixes to the sim seem to be slow coming fruition, I expect it will be a long time before we see the issue addressed (if ever). Given how many military aircraft we seem to be be getting in MSFS, working TACANs are becoming very noticeable by their absence at this point. . .
All the best!
I hope that central GPS display is removable...
Yes it is if you so wish.
It certainly is Stewart (as Just Flight mentions). You can switch it out for a gunsight, or remove it altogether : )
All the best!
Call me Peter picky but do you know whether latest liveries for the Reds will be included. Although FS9 is fading away perhaps, it was always easy to keep bang up to date and still is.
Think there are two: Hawk T1 Royal Air Force Red Arrows 2011 livery, XX260
Hawk T1 Royal Air Force Red Arrows 2014 livery, XX322
Hello William,
As Just Flight state, the aircraft currently comes with two “retro” Red Arrows liveries - there is no modern livery currently included with the package. I would imagine 3rd party livery makers will see to that in fairly short order though ; )
All the best!
No showcase of the smoke effect??
There’s a little “Easter egg” flypast with smoke at the very end of the video Ilias ; )
All the best!
how does this stand versus aermachhi?
Hey,
Well, just my opinion of course, but I think the Hawk is the superior aircraft in really every respect (not to say that the MB339 isn’t a great addon). The aircraft are broadly on a par graphically, but otherwise the Hawk has the better sounds, systems, flight model etc. The Hawk’s systems and flight modelling are some of the best in the sim to date and the aircraft is an absolute joy generally speaking! Obviously the Hawk is pricier, but I think it’s worth every penny.
I hope that helps a bit? All the best! : )
It looks like a really neat plane but dear god that module where the gunsight would be is obtrusive. If there isn't an option to remove it I might pass on this one. I already have the MB 339 which is very nice to fly as a jet trainer.
Good news - you can toggle it back to the gunsight if you wish.
Indeed - or it can be removed altogether if desired. Cheers : )
Hi Parabuteo,
The GPS can be easily removed, no worries. It can be switched out for a gunsight or removed altogether. I was going to go into a little more depth on that during the video, but ultimately decided to save it for the review.
All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Excellent! That's admittedly something I really like about the MB 339. I'm not exactly a flight sim purist, I figure one of the reasons I'll be flying fighter jets is for the visibility compared to a civil aircraft (Also having at least 6g to play with).
I do really like the Hawk T1 though and will probably be picking this one up. I did have the Hawk in DCS back in the day before VEAO went wrong. I'll admit the cockpit on this one actually looks better than that one did (although let's face it, that module was a quarter baked at best).
Haha, don’t get me started on the VEAO Hawk! I purchased that module about 2 weeks before they canned it. Never even got a chance to fly it : /
What really stung, was that apparently DCS offered to buy the Hawk off them (VEAO), so as to continue work on it; VEAO turned them down. Sad times. . . haha.
All the best : )
For UK there are several free military airports, why you don't use them?. They are very well done. However justflight make very spectacukar aircrafts. Fantastic.
Oh really? Sounds good. Which ones and where can I find them?.do you have any personal favourites or recommendations?
Hi Antonio,
In all honesty, I often don’t even think to look for scenery in MSFS (I somewhat forget); but the short answer is that I just rather like Aberporth for any flights over to the Mach Loop. I like the simplicity of the airfield, it has a bit of character and it’s a nice short run up the coast to get to the Mach Loop. I nearly went with RAF Valley for the video, which would of course have been more realistic, but I just didn’t fancy it in the end. Thanks for the suggestion though - I’ll keep in mind for the future.
As you say, the Hawk is a fantastic effort from Just Flight. Very nice indeed!
All the best : )
Is there not a HUD included?
Hi Paul,
There’s no full-on HUD included, as the T1 wasn’t fitted with one (to my knowledge). There is the option to choose between a GPS, a gunsight, both, or neither. I’m hoping to have a full review of the aircraft up later on today, so that should demonstrate things a little more clearly.
Cheers, all the best! : )
Is it worth £42 on the Xbox ? or get the Vulcan
That’s a tricky one, RAF; the visuals, sounds, systems modelling and added extras of the Hawk, are all 100% worth the money. The flight model somewhat lets the addon down though (the flight model feels pretty dated and has a few strange behaviours). The T1 is still a very enjoyable addon; the Vulcan is a superior product but, it really comes down to what sort of flying you enjoy (anything over approx 280kts, the Vulcan becomes a bit of a lumbering beast). I would say, the Vulcan is worth every penny, perhaps wait for a sale on the Hawk.
I hope that helps a little. All the best : )
Another great video/review. Still looks like when you want to pick up a girl you need to show off in spitfire ;)
Thanks very much once again! Glad you enjoyed it : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Stupid me that I've chosen IT /facepalm. Also is this recorded with SU 6? As the plane is moving around quite a lot :)
Ahh, well the Goshawk is decent in its own way. It’ll be good fun when we finally get carrier functionality in the sim anyway : D
The video was recorded just before Sim Update 6 - I don’t participate in the beta or anything. The aircraft does move around quite a bit, particularly at high speed. The conditions were also somewhat bumpy, which rather exacerbated things.
All the best! : )
hello, what is best option this or the t45? thanks!
Hello Jose,
Sorry for the slow reply. Hopefully I'm not too late in offering up some advice.
I would say that the two aircraft are comparable graphically, but in every other respect, the Hawk is the better of the two aircraft really. The Hawk is obviously more pricey, but I do think that the extra costs translates into better quality (the Hawk is actually one of the best aircraft available in the sim overall).
I hope that helps! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations yes! I buy the hawk, is fantástic! Thanks!
Ah phew! XD
Brilliant! Happy flying : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations very thanks!
Skyforce gps is an eye sore, bet it's monochrome as well. I would buttons at bottom.
Hi Bobbie,
The GPS can actually be removed from the panel very easily; so whilst it can be a bit of an eyesore, it’s certainly an optional extra. The display is actually just using the default MSFS GPS (alas). The buttons should be at the bottom in real life should they?
Cheers, all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Buttons at bottom would be my preference, so as not to obscure screen by hand.. Not sure the original display could be rotated on the screen.

It probably is a little speedy yes. They’ve actually slowed it down somewhat for the final release though : )

Why is there an ipad in the middle of the cockpit?
EFB Tablet, common and popular in many of our aircraft and those from other devs too. Let's you operate a lot of things from it. Nice feature that's proved popular.

how much the aircraft 😍
Hi Carlos,
The Hawk will cost £32.99 on release. A 25% discount will be available for those who previously purchased the FSX / P3D version of the aircraft through Just Flight.
All the best : )
flew bad for me.. instant left turn on takeoff. and very springy flight characteristics. unflyable in it's current form. very uncomfortable. hope they fix the stiffness.
It doesn't fly bad for others. If you think there's an issue report it to our support team who will look into it with the dev team but be aware the things you report aren't apparent for many others who are up flying and loving the experience.
Hi Ray,
Very sorry to hear that! That behaviour does sounds rather odd, certainly doesn’t echo my experiences with the aircraft. One thing that springs to mind (and apologies if I’m stating the obvious to you), have you got your sim flight model set to “Modern”? Having it set to “Legacy” can often cause a lot of strange behaviours, such as the ones you’ve described here.
Hope that helps maybe? All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I will be honest and say its not lol I set legacy for the airbus. I'm so angry with myself.. ill have another test
Haha, it can happen to the best of us Ray. . . Fingers crossed that gets you up in the air, in a more enjoyable fashion then! ; )
So.. how long til we stop getting bullshit like the SU-52 on Xbox and start getting high quality shit like this? T.T
Great effort, Into!
As always a very comprehensive and informative preview and this jet is definitely on my must-have list after I save up for the DC-6 from PMDG.
I hope you'll be able to stow the annoying tablet-looking equipment blocking the view straight-ahead! Even if it's correctly modelled.
Keep up the good work!
Yes you can do that if you wish.
Thanks very much Wikstrom, really glad you enjoyed the video.
The Hawk is well worthy of being on such a list (in my opinion at any rate). No worries on the GPS, it can indeed be removed (as Just Flight mentions); it can be swapped out for a gunsight, or removed altogether.
Thanks again and all the best! : )
