Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer for X-Plane 11.
Following on from their critically acclaimed
Arrow III,
Turbo Arrow III/IV and
PA-28-161 Warrior II aircraft for X-Plane 11, this highly detailed simulation of the Hawk T1/A is being developed by Just Flight's in-house team and Thranda Design following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life ex-RAF and ETPS Hawk T1.
The Hawk T1 is a British-built single engine jet trainer with a two-man tandem cockpit. First flown in 1974, the Hawk has served as an advanced training aircraft for nearly 40 years. The design has proved to be highly successful, with over 900 examples of more than 10 variants sold to air forces in 18 countries, including the UK, Finland, India and Saudi Arabia.
The Hawk T1 variant, first delivered to the RAF in 1976, continues to serve as an advanced jet and weapons trainer. Possibly the most well-known Hawk T1s are those flown by the world-famous RAF Red Arrows display team, which has been flying the Hawk T1 since 1979.
The Hawk T1 has been modelled to an exceptional level of detail, featuring PBR materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism, 4096 x 4096 textures for the highest possible texture clarity, a variety of paint schemes (including the RAF and Red Arrows) and numerous animations.
The aircraft features realistic payloads (including guided missiles, rockets, bombs, 30mm ADEN cannon gun pod, external fuel tanks, reconnaissance pod and Red Arrows diesel/dye smoke pod). Both the front and rear pilot positions are included, and the aircraft features a truly 3D virtual cockpit with smoothly animated 3D instruments and fully functioning custom-coded systems and avionics.
See the Detailed Description below for the full list of features!

"The Hawk is a near perfect military fast jet for X-Plane 11... A very nicely modelled jet trainer with well researched and implemented systems, flight model and superb graphics all around... The 3D modelling and texturing artwork in the Hawk is simply top notch in every regard... The aircraft just feels 'right' in all respects... The cockpit looks fantasic when viewed in a virtual reality (VR) headset... An excellent pop-up menu is provided that allows for nearly two dozen configuration changes on the fly"
PC Pilot (Platinum Award 95/100)
"The Just Flight Hawk T1/A is an excellent payware entry to X-Plane 11's tiny sampling of military fighter aircraft. While it is my first payware quality fighter for the sim, I honestly can't imagine it gets much better... The proportions and level of detail are extremely well executed... The reflective PBR textures are simply gorgeous... The Just Flight team really did an outstanding job with the sound files of this aircraft... The sound files are of the highest quality and extremely immersive."
Best Combat Jet Trainer - FlightSim.com X-Plane Best of 2018 Awards
"I’ve tried, in the past, almost every fighter jet in X-Plane and I have to say that this is one of the most realistic and well done, if not the best... The Just Flight [systems] rendition is very realistic both from the graphical point of view and from the operative side... The flight model is very realistic... Each small detail is reproduced without being too heavy on FPS... Canopy modelling and texturing is awesome... Sound system on this aircraft is just perfect and the most realistic one for fighters in X-Plane 11... One of the most interesting and realistic aircraft I’ve tried"
Tom's Cockpit (9.6/10)
"There is no doubt the Hawk stands out there in the quality stakes, the level here is extremely high... The quality of the detailing is phenomenal... "For now this is the best of the best current standard... Aircraft modelling is absolutely first rate, perfection, not a 3D bump out of place... Cockpit detail is to the extreme... Internal cockpit lighting is excellent... Aircraft dynamics are excellent, but require skill and focus, but that is what you need when flying a fast small jet... Highly recommended"
X-Plane Reviews
"I'd say the Hawk is excellent value at £29.99, especially given the quality of the documentation, the options available and the number of supplied liveries. It's hard to want for anything more than the very complete package provided... The detailing is exquisite, with exceptional levels of detail down to the rivets and bolts... The animations are all nicely done... The Hawk is an absolute gem to fly... It’s very easy to just jump in with engines started and dive right in for a quick, fun flight. Equally, you can prop that extensive manual open and immerse yourself in the many systems that have been simulated."
