RAF Fighter Pilot Tries XPlane 11 in Red Arrows Hawk
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2020
- As a former RAF Flying Instructor and fighter pilot, I try out X Plane 11 in the Hawk T1 to see how realistic it is.
This is just me trying out X-Plane on VR - if you like this video, leave a comment and I'll make more content and instructional videos in the aircraft.
If you are a foreign student pilot, I apologise for the speech but this is a trial - I will be clearer next time and use a better microphone.
So, come and fly from RAF Valley in North Wales on an early morning flight.
I have flown about 1,000 hours in the Hawk T1 in my RAF career.

Guys, if you enjoy this, let me know in the comments what you want me to cover in the next video 👍
Do more X-Plane vids. It's great to see a real pilot behind the stick and loads of X-Plane users would love some proper instruction. Even open a separate X-Plane channel and maybe fly some other fast Jets.👍
Just do X-Plane videos from now on :):):)
@@EliteHobbies lol, I'll still have to answer the millions of emails I get but I'll try and do some X-Plane vids too.
I would love to learn the proper basics of flying
If (and only if) you are on MacOS there is a fix for that annoying sticky double cursor. If you're Windoz then it's something else.
What a privilege to have a former real world Hawk pilot demonstrate how to do things properly. Fantastic more please!
VR Flight Sim Guy why is it a privilege? He is just a person,who volunteered to do a job.this hero worshipping is a load of bollocks..they are just people volunteers ..would it be a privilege if a bus driver
Came on and demonstrated how to drive a bus ? Or a road sweeper demonstrating how to use his brush ? Crappy graphics by the way..
@@gho3tsoldier1 It's a privilege TO ME, since I have such admiration for this type of career. Is that ok?
@@gho3tsoldier1 To have a professional use your product and appreciate it is a privilege. I'm a game developer. If I made a bus driving simulator and a bus driver was able to walk through an accurate day as a bus driver in the product I created I'd consider it a privilege.
@@gho3tsoldier1 lol
@@TheSpacecraftX exactly that.
The thing I enjoyed most is Tim's controller voice. I kept thinking that there was a customer announcement about to be made.
Staff announcement, staff announcement. Tim to the duty manager's office please, Tim to the duty manager.
This is how it should be! Head moving around all the time, it’s not a fun fare ride. Love your quickness to it all, as you said, it’s a quick jet.
I’m ex airdespatcher from RAF Lyneham, despatch crew in C130. Have flown Gliders and light aircraft but not Jets, oh! How I wish. So, here, we have the next best thing...simulator. No actual g forces or that lovely engineering oil smells, but visually and audibly close.
Keep it going Tim, keep safe.
I didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did. I love aviation but I am only an RC pilot who would love to get her big wings, but at 75 I have probably left it too late :). A really interesting ride and thanks for the wonderful commentary.
Never too late - If I buy an airplane, come fly with me - totally fine.
I love British pilots describing things. You always get the information you need.
This is brilliant! Every time I watch your vids I have a huge grin on my face, your sense of humour is second to none!. Thanks for making this, and I really hope to see others. Please make more :-)
Finally, the video I have always wanted to see. Well and truly amazing. Top notch vid Tim. 😎
This was a really great video/ lesson. Such a great thing to get from brakes engine start to engine off, narration and absolutely no corny ott music. Thanks
That was great! best flight with instruction I've seen on the net, thankyou... Nice to see one from a real pilot for a change! You make it look easy :)
Thanks Tim, that was incredible. Loved seeing your workflow in the cockpit and your scanning drills. While you'll get a lot of different opinions based on peoples preference I think the video duration without cuts was excellent, no bling intros fine - just get into it, and in-cockpit sounds are useful. Keeping the video editing workload down means you'll make more without tiring of it, and I'm sure I'm not alone in loving all the knowledge you are putting out there on aviation and human factors.
You are very considerate with your head rotation rate but for DCS folks (plus I'm ex-RNZAF) many are used to full rate movement and it would be instructive so see your scan patterns in real time. It depends on your audience I guess whether you want to be inclusive of ab initio folks or those with more sim experience.
As for what else I would like to see. Well going through each Hawk training sortie with the skills of each would be really great. eg stalls/spins/inverted spins and their recovery in the Hawk would be illustrative. Anything unclassified from Fence In to Fence Out over a ground strike is also of benefit to us DCS ground pounders.
The two-way radio with falsetto response is hilarious. Please don't ever stop doing that, it cracks me up. Many thanks.
ps. There's no Donate button on the FJP page that I can see. While you don't need to bleg it would be nice if we show our appreciation and you could take your lovely wife to dinner on us :)
Well, truly thank you, it's good to meet a good soul on occasion and please keep the advice coming 👍
Superb video, Tim. Looking forward to lots more.
I love flying the Loop in FSX, P3D and X-Plane 11, and this was a valuable insight. Thanks for the edutainment :) .
From one Davies to another, thankyou for posting this.
I find your content very informative and it's far more interesting to listen to and watch a former fast jet pilot 'flying' in X-plane (something that being a non pilot, I can relate to more).
Keep up the good work.
Cheers.
Honestly loved watching this. Was recently at RAF Valley, fantastic couple of days! Always good watching those T1's power up and shoot down 13!
Cool new video idea, a really interesting watch!
Absolutely outstanding ! Loved the full talk through throughout especially through the Mach Loop :)
Fantastic video - as a long retired GA pilot I really enjoyed seeing a military approach to flying and now I understand why its called "Mach Loop". Thank you.
Brilliant video, learnt so much in this last 44 minutes and a joy to see how a trained fighter pilot approaches flying.
Next pay day, I will be buying a flight stick to accompany my yoke setup and give this a whirl :)
Subbed and eagerly await to see what you tackle next!
It is so good to see "professional " pilots on the sim. May i say thanks for your enthusiasm towards our much loved way of life , it was also very, very informative. I fly the same jet on p3d. Well done you.
God and I thought a PA28 was hard too fly. Hats of too you sir total professional.
This was excellent. As an American private pilot, I can say I've heard some things from you I haven't heard yet in my instruction. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed!
Thanks Farilito!
Great stuff Tim, I've been a fan of your videos for quite some time now, so delighted to see that you're starting up again in Flight Sim. I've had the Hawk in P3D for a couple of years & it's one of my favourite aircraft, so it's great to see someone showing how to operate the thing properly!
Thanks Tim, really interesting to see how you guys do it and I have learnt about dead wing check when rolling out, , which I will add to my practice as soon as we can get up again!
Absolutely fascinating, not only what you do but why you do it. Many thanks for that Tim.
Having messed about with the Hawk in DCS and Microsoft Flightsims using some downloaded routes, its been fascinating to see how you approach and exit the actual loop. Very enjoyable video and I hope there's more to come.
This is freaking awesome! It’s like being inside your head during a flight! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just Flight owes you a beer. I saw this and went and bought their Hawk. Thanks for the video! Awesome information sharing from your professional background. Thank you for taking the time to piece it together for us.
This is awesome and really well done. Your commentary is hilariously interesting and extremely informative! Please keep making these. Best of luck to you sir!
Brilliant vid loved your flight talks and a walk down memory lane was on the T 1 flight line at Valley great time when the weather allowed
Hi Tim, I've only ever flown Flight Sim and that was probably over 10yrs ago. I found this really interesting, especially with you being an ex instructor at Valley.
Superb, thank you for sharing. I fly a piper arrow with retractable gear and will be using your gear travelling call rather than saying gear up/down etc then calling lights out/3 greens when it’s up/down!
This was outstanding, thank you! I am a private pilot and feel like I just received a lesson from an RAF instructor!! So many lessons/takeaways here for private pilots...using the phrase “travel” for landing gear and flaps, setting/using heading bugs and planning for emergency return, looking for weather on climb out, using timing to confirm fuel flow and looking for traffic (always). I am an expat living in the U.S. so I am especially grateful for the numerous (and entirely appropriate) references to the almighty cup of tea. I also want to echo the earlier comment on a donate button - I have paid for flight lessons and learned a lot less! Thanks again, would love to see more.
Thanks Ray, really glad you got something from it.
This is brilliant. Somehow came up on my feed so thought id give it a watch. Great commentary & instruction. I know nothing of flying but still enjoyed this!
This was awesome. Glad youre making videos on youtube, its a great resource for the community.
Thanks for that Tim, I used to fly a lot of sim stuff back in the late 2000's. Thanks to this I've dug the pc out and am waiting on a new monitor so I can run x plane 11. Also looking at vr headsets. Very informative stuff, looking forward to the next installment!
Excellent, still based at valley and got a pax flight in a t1 a while back now but loved your videos since. Thanks for doing these now
Loved this, made my week. More please!
Excellent video! Love seeing the real world techniques applied to the sim with it's inherent limitations.
Great video. I used to go to RAF Valley to watch the hawks. I remember being able to sit at the end of the runway with a picnic and they would take off directly over head.
Great video!!👍My son and me are regular visitors at the Mach Loop. Love when your Hawk and other RAF jets fly past the loop.👍👍Uniden UBC 125 xlt scanner with us as well so we can hear you on Nato low level before entering the loop👍👍
Fantastic clip Tim
I'm getting into vr at the moment it really is as real as it gets and with real weather and vatsim its superb .
Btw I used to work on the mark 63 and 102 for the uae airforce
I did 12 years in the raf great Life

Dave from Scotland
I loved it. This is what flight sim people love. I can’t speak for people who are already pilots, but for simulator pilots there is a great hunger to understand how things are done properly. That’s what most of us are using flight simulators for. I always wanted to be a pilot in the RAF as a boy. Unfortunately I couldn’t and ended up joining the Army (sorry). That was back in 82. But I never lost my love of flying and particularly military flying. Simulators of the sophistication we now enjoy them (have you tried DCS? I love it if you reviewed some of the models there), gives us a taste of what I missed. So yes please, more if you can do it. I am subscribing. Thank you.
L
Don’t be sorry about joining the Army - the best of us did 👍
Im soo glad today i finished listening to all your podcasts 😊 love you videos
That really was brilliant to watch. I live in Colwyn Bay and watch in admiration as the jets come over from time to time.... you have lived the dream!!!.... good on you sir😁😁😁..... subbed!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Enthralled from start to finish. Literally the biggest smile on my face the whole time! Fantastic delivery as well - so interesting. Please - more of the same!
I'll try, Steve👍
really nice video. love all your videos. hope to see more great content from you!
Tim, loved this video. I know the fundamentals are the same for a lot of things in flying but I'd really like to see how the military approach some things different. The small things like gear travels as you say instead of gear up are really interesting and beneficial in my opinion. Different philosophy but it makes sense. I bet there are lots of things like that for different scenarios such as stalling, crosswind technique (check kick close) I think you say that vary from the commercial/GA world. Some of the best fun I've had is always flying with people who are ex-fast jet. You always learn something you didn't know or a better and more logical way to do simple things. The big thing I'd like to see is how you'd teach navigation to be accurate within seconds for attack runs and maybe see what the map you use looks like when annotated for planning etc. Great that you are doing this, I enjoy watching people like stevo1kinevo fly for the views, production and places he goes however, a lot of pilots on this who are self proclaimed experts (a certain Canadian who shall remain unnamed) tend to put me off sometimes. I really think there is a chance for you to teach things on this and actually have the experience and knowledge to do it. It would be a far better listen and watch. . GuidoWarneke is another good guy who shows a lot of single pilot biz jet vids around the world from his job (US,UK, Middle East) and explains checklists and his flights. Very textbook but enjoyable. Look forward to more 👍🏻
Thanks, Andy - I'll do a navigation sortie one show I can show how we do Time On Target and I'm not an expert on flying, I've built routines and processes that kept me safe over the years, I'll explain in the next video.
Nice to see you go through the loop, ive spent a bit of time there waiting for jets to come through
You guys amaze me with you speed of thought and coolness. I work in Rhosneigr and always wondered where you chaps went for approx' 45 minutes. Keep an eye on that dead wing and more videos please.
Excellent video Tim, thank you for the channel content.
Interesting - we live on Anglesey and spend a lot of time filming the hawks from Valley and GA from Mona/Caernarfon.
Always get a wave from RAF pilots!
Thanks Tim, extremely informative and great to watch.
Fantastic and informative. Thank you Tim. Please do more!
Brilliant video. I was in the RAF for 12 years back in the 80's and 90's and seved at Valley for 7 years as a Gen Tech E. I was fortunate enough to fly in the weather ship at Valley and also on a Wessex at SARTU a couple of times. Great days at Valley for sure.
Weathership used to be a great flight before they stopped it, you were lucky there ❤️
@@FastJetPerformance i'll never forget it. Was an amazing experience for a young lad who'd only flown once before on a 737 to Crete!
That's a lot of workload what with flying, commentary and doing pilot and tower RT as well! Nice job Sir 😀
Always great to have a real pilot letting us simmers in on the inside dope.Loved it :)
I found that totally fascinating, not just the terrain but how you manage the aircraft. I've not a clue about flight sims, but know the area at ground and sea level..you almost flew over my boat ! I live elsewhere on a northern low level route not used so much these days except by the occasional C130 at night and Ospreys that clatter through. Its a long time since my occasional AEF in Chipmunks from RAF Newton. You touched on orientation after manoevering, but basic (or not so basic ?) navigation would be an interesting topic. I'm always gobsmacked by the precision jet pilots have to keep to.
Thought I'll watch a few minutes for fun, ended up watching the entire thing! Great job and subbed!
Thanks Edge, much appreciated 💯👍
That was awesome, what a way to spend a Saturday afternoon - being flown around some very familiar landmarks in North Wales while drinking tea! Please do more, and, oh yeah, check out DCS... ;-)
Awesome video! As an ageing ex Pongo (British Army for those who don't know the slang) I love your channel for the positivity & encouragement you give to young people aspiring to be pilots or just to be 'better' at whatever they want to do.
From a personal point of view I love the flight stuff and find these cockpit vids especially fascinating. My own cockpit was a small armoured vehicle, so a little less complex... 😉
Enjoy the well earned cuppa!
Thanks Bob!
Great video, Can't wait to see more like this!
I'd missed the regular blog posts on FJP but I have to say these are more entertaining!
Hi Tim. 'Toggle the 3-D mouse cursor in VC' can be mapped to any button on your joystick or to a key combo. This will hide your arrow.
Excellent, thx Andy.
Great video Tim, covering a hugely important topic. Airmanship is not something routinely seen on TH-cam videos but is absolutely essential to real world aviation and is one of the key differences between sim and reality.
Study sims have accurate system modelling but don't simulate such things as flying around in the very congested un-controlled lower airspace in the UK which is potentially very high risk. There is a difference between watching and learning as well as a difference between doing and understanding. Thanks for passing on your considerable experience.
Rich
Thanks Rich, great to see you here - happy to get you on the podcast to chat.
@@FastJetPerformance Thanks Tim. Not sure I'd have that much to add. Left the Navy over 20 years ago and stopped civvie flying 10 years ago now so my currency is somewhat lacking, lol.
Great video right there
Looking forward to watch more stuff like this.
Thanks for the great vid. As an engineer on the T2 at Valley, it is great to see the other side.
Very interesting seeing you in the sim! 👍🏻. I have this Hawk in P3D but never really had a proper go.
So awesome to see someone with such experience running through the real world procedures. Thanks Tim, really great video! Hope to see many more in future!
I have that jet for P3D and I've got to say it seems much better than this Xplane version..
I loved this, going through the loop was spectacular
Excellent informative video Tim. Looking forward to more.
It's interesting to hear how it's done across the pond, like your periodic checks. I still remember the HEFO-P checks from flight school. Hydraulic, Engine/Electrical, Fuel, Oxygen, [cabin] Pressurization (delta P). Good stuff, quality content.
Thanks Jason 👍
Thanks for sharing this video. I trained for my PPL at Liverpool so North Wales was a happy hunting ground. Visited Mona once and Caernarfon many times. Thankfully never encountered any of the guys from Valley :-)
Now now... you mean the car that is going to pull out in front of the Motorbike? LOL
Loved this, very informative insight to the real world procedures for us armchair pilots, I'm not sure if it was just the texture clarity being set a bit low but if you dont have it already perhaps Orbx's True Earth GB may help with a couple of visual nav references where the stock mesh doesn't seem right. If you dabble with DCS at all it would be good to see some combat orientated content although there isn't much of an RAF presence in the sim.
As a former 747 pilot and current Type Rating instructor with no military background I wasn’t sure what to expect from your video!! Would it be another fast jet guy showing off how good he was? Would there be any real information? Would the sim even be relatively realistic?( not been on a PC flight simulator since MSFS 2000 came out!!) I found the sim surprisingly good, lots of interesting information and demonstrations of workflows where we would ALWAYS use a checklist!! And a very engaging and watchable commentary from a clearly experienced instructor!! I can confirm that I have now subscribed!! Keep up the excellent work!!👍
Thank you, Martin - that's very much appreciated indeed.
Excellent video! Would be great to see more of these x-plane videos with the Hawk.
Excellent! Thank you so much for a look at realistic flying in a PC sim. Very educational for a simmer who wants it as real as it gets!
Used to listen to the valley students on my radios back in the day and was familiar with all the instructor voices. Definitely know I've heard you at some point. Thanks for the upload
Also crazy watching you fly through the loop and all over North Wales. Spent most of my childhood near barmouth, dolgellau, Mac, Bala etc. Seen so many a/c at low level.
the dead side wing check isnt something ive been taught explicitly by any of my instructors so far but i will definitely use it going forward, cheers tim
Fantastic, thanks very much - great on airmanship skills too, thank you
This is the way all xplane help vids should be done. Great job Tim. What about doing some on Just Flights GR1.
Please keep going with videos like this it's really good stuff
Just to add you can toggle the arrow on and off by setting it as a button on your joystick. I'd also recommend using photo scenery by Orbx which will completely transform the ground reference points.
That's great advice, I'll look into that, many thanks.
Loved It! This is the sort of content the we simmers love.
Fantastic video. Educational and entertaining, very good!
Great Video Tim. Keep up the good content 👍🏼
So cool and interesting. Loved video watched it all. My dad was in the RAF
That was THE best JF Hawk T1 video that I have seen, great to see a real Hawk Pilot behind the stick. Only reservation I have is the clarity of your VR, maybe there is a way to address this.
Have a look at Orbx scenery True Earth GB Central, it covers most of North Wales, and with videos like this, I’m sure Orbx would be happy to donate some scenery to you, great promotion for them.
I am looking forward to seeing more like this, if you have time. Thank you.
Loved this, definitely high value content
This so reminds me of when I was in flying training, so many flashbacks. I would love a series on this. BTW Have you considered the possibility of selling your services as a flight instructor online? Many of the DCS trainer modules e.g. L-39 are dual cockpit. I'd pay good money for that!
Really nice mannerism and an enjoy to watch/listen to. Dunno what I want to see next, just wanna see more please.
The next British fast jet needs a "Boiling Vessel" for in-flight tea drinking...
I flew on the Nimrod Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft and we definitely had one ;)
the tanks have one so why not the planes? Checkmate, MOD
Well that was just fantastic thanks for the ride along.One day i still wish will be a real Hawk,can't ask Gim will fix it anymore,I did once to fly with Red arrows but no go.Great video
Love it, took me back to the mid 80's when I made tea and coffee on the desk at 63, Sam Toyne (sp) used to have fantastic pre landing checks. Keep these coming Tim. Perhaps fly from a proper RAF Seaside base at CHR.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do it. Enjoy the tea.
More of these videos please! This was awesome!
It's great to listen to you as well, not too fast and very insteresting.
Massive respect for the Flava Flav 'Yeaaaahhh boi' during the external view.
Keeping it ol' school - I'm a big fan of rap music 👍
I was once fishing in the sea in a small sailing boat near Rhosneigr, right next to RAF valley, dozing off minding my own business, when two hawks flew over at extreme speed and low altitude, directly overhead, and scared the absolute crap out of me, then they rolled off and headed away. I’m sure they did it for a laugh.
Normally we are seriously too busy for that, the cockpit workload is immense and fishing boats have birds around them and birds love to be sucked into engines. Saying that, sometimes I find a small boat and turn into a small child (time to buzz the tower!) 😂
When the F-16s came to Wanaka 2019 they apparently scared the Bejesus out of some people minding their own business in Queenstown - fast jets eh? 🤣
Great video Tim, well done 👍
