Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer

I just retested the Hawk with the garmin 750. It does appear that the ILS frequency on the 750 may override that in the Hawk GPS. I made sure the frequency in both GPSs were the same and this time it captured both the LOC and the glideslope very well.

@ben104 Hey Ben, I’m uncertain how exactly Just Flight models this, but my impression is that, since the Hawk doesn’t have a VOR receiver, all non-GPS navigation is done through the TACAN. Since MSFS was not modeling TACAN, JF works around this by having TACAN channels EQUATE to VOR frequencies. Now the Hawk does have an ILS receiver. But ILS frequencies are, by convention, in a lower frequency band. So, with the TACAN/ILS switch in ILS you should only get CDI sensing for an ILS frequency, if you had one dialed in. And dialing in a VOR frequency, should result in no response at all. Dialing in the TACAN equivalent as printed in the manual, however would. Unless something has changed recently in MSFS/the Hawk.

@retiredman93231 Thanks for the info.

@martyn I have my warthog throttle ‘APU start’ button set to start/relight .Also another button which is a one way spring loaded switch set for ‘engine master’ (although that’s not responding as an engine master switch, prob not configured the correct command for that function). Also my throttle indent function is set to ‘toggle engine 1 fuel valve’. All now unassigned, no more idle engine issues. Why would these conflict with the running of the engine mid flight?

@katchaplin This appears to be another bug caused by SU7... JF is aware of it.

@martyn Hi, I still think this is broken as I flew yesterday to test this after an update with an RPM of 110+ and no indication... It's almost as if the engine temp stops just before reaching the limit but the RPM continues. I will say I was flying like a D1ck... And in reality, the jet would not be operated as I flew it during that flight.

@bisinchi I agree, I feel like it does not bleed energy as it used to... Perhaps a real hawk pilot can shed some light? During a run and break 360kts air brake out it does not seem to bleed energy too well either. As I understand you idle, air brake pull to the buffet which in this case seems to be 6/7G personally I would imagine in reality this is 3.5-4.5G.

@captain744 Since I fly both the Hawk and the Warrior, I unmapped the control for the Hawk, since part of my shutdown on the Warrior is to set the mixture to cutoff. Most people don't seem to want to have separate control schemes for different aircraft, but I find it much easier than trying to remember what the different buttons and sliders are mapped to, as the Warrior and Hawk are just 'slightly' different aircraft.

@jander I'd very much like this feature to be included too, especially as you are learning the systems.

@guenseli Thanks for the suggestion! We've made this and another change which should hopefully address this issue.

@martyn Thanks for fixing this so fast!

So far it would seem SU7 and update 1.3 have solved the issue I was having. so all is good! Thanks again JF Hawk team! this bird is something special.

@martyn Yes, I would like to have the option to switch of the JF breathing sound, if I feel ok with MSFS ones (especially when there is no other possibility to avoid double breathing) thx

@martyn thanks so much for the great support!

@martyn I just woke up (in New Zealand) and that email was the 1st thing I saw on the computer. I'm gobsmacked, that was so fast ! Adding the TACAN to VOR frequency conversions to the checklist was a relatively simple addition but this ... you must have had this lined up already, this can't possibly be a response to something I said 24 hours ago ! (but I'm going to claim it is anyway ) Thank you !

@snowy Great stuff. No-one can tell you how to run your sim. Experiment, tweak and enjoy !
