Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer

Hi all. Thanks for the feedback regarding the EFB button colours. We'll be adjusting those in the next update.

We do have a copy of the checklist included in the Hawk's Operation Manual (page 118 onwards): https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003464/Hawk_MSFS_Manuals.zip

The Hawk V2 update was submitted to the 2020 and 2024 marketplaces last week. Unfortunately, it's now largely out of our control as to when it will become available.

Based on the turnaround times of other products we have recently uploaded to the marketplace, we expect the Hawk V2 update to be available on the MSFS 2020 marketplace in the next few weeks, and then on the MSFS 2024 marketplace at some point after the 2024 marketplace is available.

Sadly gun pod functionality isn't included in this update. It's something we have noted down as something to consider for a future update.

The following FAQ covers the weapons that have functionality: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000120202-payload-weapon-controls-and-functionality

Hope that helps.

A new flight model for the Hawk is currently in testing and will be released as part of an upcoming update to the Hawk. The update will be free of charge to all customers and will also include MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 compatibility.

The flaps in the Hawk are controlled by the standard flaps control assignments within the simulator. The most likely cause of the flaps remaining in the down position will be a control on your external hardware extending them. An easy way to test this is to unplug any external hardware (joystick, throttle quadrant, etc) and then restart a flight. If that fixes the issues, then that confirms the issue will be linked to the external hardware.

If the flap standby lowering system is triggered, the flaps will be locked in the fully extended position and will require a restart of the flight to reset.

Finally, if state saving is enabled on the EFB, the aircraft will load in the state it was previously left in. So if flaps were fully extended at the end of the previous flight, they will be fully extended at the start of the next flight.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the feedback. It certainly won't take too much longer for the next Hawk update. A new flight model for the Hawk has been in development since the last update with the goal of fixing all the feedback we have received. These things take time, but we would rather take the time to release the update only once we are confident the feedback we have received has been addressed.

Thanks for the update.

Did look but didn't find an earlier post from last year which I have now found through google and can see that this issue related to mixture = 0 setting on controller. Now tested by having Mixture 1 fully rich on my bravo and no engine shut down after pressing the ESC key. Alternative being to set up a separate Bravo profile for the Hawk and delete the mixture axis.

@jaspar11 I have just tested this and I am seeing the tail plan position indicator move between +5 and -3 by triggering the elevator trim assignments, so that sounds like there may be some other controller conflict that may be preventing the trim from working correctly for you.

If you could kindly contact Just Flight support via the following link, they will be able to run through some troubleshooting steps with you to get you up and running: https://www.justflight.com/support

Thanks mark that works
Just need to set up the rest of my warthog Hotas
Standby for more silly questions

It’s works fine with other aircraft but not the hawk

The logic we are using in the Hawk is that the aircraft will always load into a flight with 100% internal fuel (this will show as an approx. 65% fuel load as a 100% fuel load will only be possible if the external fuel tanks are fitted).

One exception to this rule is if you have state saving enabled on the EFB from a previous flight, then the aircraft will load into the flight with whatever fuel was remaining in the tanks at the end of the previous flight.

If you disable state saving on the EFB, any following flights in the aircraft will begin with a full internal fuel load.

Mark, this was quite helpful. I appreciate it.

Scrub that. Just had a flight with a flight plan in and it just dominated all VOR ILS and TACAN navigation. No matter what switch selections I made I could couldn’t get out of gps nav.
