Aerofly FS 2 - Just Flight - Hawk T1/A DLC

[h1]The Most Convincing Fast Jet for FS2[/h1] The Hawk is beautifully detailed, inside and out, with textures that convey years of service. Flight is exhilarating, especially low level sorties following the contours of the land, for example through the alpine valleys of Innsbruck, then pulling up and rolling to cross ridges inverted, or flying impromptu aerobatics over the airfield. Sound is a subjective matter, but to me she sounds great. The instrumentation all appears to work, including both the fuel gauge and oxygen level indicator, which deplete as the flight progresses until ultimately the fuel warning light illuminates, although I couldn't get it to actually flame out despite flying around on zero fuel for quite some time. Even he cabin altitude indicator reads correctly. Landings demand concentration to bleed the speed of the slick aircraft down to 190 kts on downwind and 130-140 kts on final approach, but speed brakes are available if required. There are a few issues. The trim pitch trim caught me out initially as it functions differently to other AF aircraft, as the trim channel does not directly control the trim but rather operates as a switch the can leave the trim as it is, trim forward, or trim back. The rate of travel of the pitch trim makes it difficult to trim accurately for level flight; a rate of about 1/4 of what it is currently set to would be better. As another reviewer has noted, there is no HUD, so you have to use the very adequate and realistic cockpit instrumentation. Unfortunately the VOR/ILS does not appear to work. And some of the buttons on the configuration menu panel, such as the ones to show or hide the pilots and joystick don't seem to have any effect. Nothing that really matters, but if a button is not implemented then it should at least be removed from the panel! One puzzling omission from the manual is the aircraft operating speeds. However she seems comfortable at the speeds of the real-life Hawk: rotate at 120-130 kts (flaps mid), approach at 130-140 kts (full flap), over the threshold at 110-115 kts (full flap). Despite these minor issues, the Hawk is the most convincing fast jet available for FS2.

i absolutely love fs2. this is the best in vr optimization. the hawk is lovely but one critical failure. repeating engine audio file. gives me a headache. why devs? why would you get lazy on that? to many here it wouldnt bother them but to me it hurts my head. its rare for fs2 to bring aircraft and i was excited to try this one. i was happy the first 4 min till my brain picked up[ the repeating audio file (RAF) of the engine which murders the immersion for me. i will buy again if they fix this.

I was so excited to get a better looking Just Flight Hawk and was sadly disappointed by this. Sure it looks really great but it just seems to be a straight port over from x-plane without any finesse for Aerofly, The main Killer being the roll point seems to be on the gunpod instead of in the centre of the wings where it should be which makes aerobatic rolls look very off.... secondly the sound as also mentioned in these reviews... The Devs should definitely spend some more time on this to fix what should be a really simple issue as I really would think that hawk would be a great aircraft In aerofly if done properly!
