Following on from their award-winning Canberra PR9 and L-1011 Tristar professional, and the recently released Tornado GR1, this highly detailed simulation of the BAe Hawk T1 for FSX, FSX: Steam Edition and Prepar3D has been developed by Just Flight's in-house development team after 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 Just Flight Hawk T1 has been modelled to an exceptional level of detail and features a variety of 4096x4096 paint schemes (including the RAF and Red Arrows), realistic payloads (including the AIM-9L Sidewinder, 30mm ADEN cannon gun pod and Red Arrows diesel/dye smoke pod) and ground equipment. St.Kitts is a nice little island and this scenery does it justice.
It represents the island just as it really is and I am speaking from experience, as a Caribbean pilot (retired) who flew for the regional airline BWIA, St.Kitts being one of our destinations.-This scenery is easy to install, and includes automatic updating with their scenery config manager tool. If you have any questions or problems their customer service is fantastic and timely; setting you straight quickly.Don-'t hesitate buy it you won't regret it, I didn't and I'm loving it; takes me back to my past experiences. This scenery is a perfect addition to add to your scenery and works great with TropicalSim's Antigua airport TAPA 2017.
Installation is pretty straight forward, but if you do run into any trouble Richer Simulations support is very efficient and timely to quickly help you out of the problem.I enjoy flying in the Caribbean and their scenery is just what I wanted to complete my immersion. I can speak from real experience, as I once flew for the regional airline BWIA and am now retired. This scenery keeps me remembering by days gone by.Just buy it, you won't regret it. I bought TBPB 2020, Antigua 2018 and St.Kitts 2017 and love them all, I can't wait for Grenada to come online. Very impressed with this product!
VirtualCol continues to amaze me with their progress of each product they release! This is by far, significantly better than their previous versions of their E-Jets v1 and v2. Textures look great inside and out, implementing their features of separated landing lights and windshield wiper animations as in previous products released in the past years. I've been keeping track of this product for over half a year now, and been checking up on it daily to see it's progress. Happy to say, I am not disappointed at the release.
$21 USD for this aircraft or $12 if you've previously purchased the old version of this series, not a bad price at all. The only thing I found odd, was while the product was in development, it mentioned an Embraer Lineage 1000 to be released as well, but it wasn't included in the final product; shame that the corporate/busin-ess version of this plane never made it and was scrapped at the last minute. Still a very enjoyable plane however and like with every VirtualCol product, it's easy on the frames! Flying into busy areas such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, etc is much smoother with VirtualCol planes, and that has always been a staple to their products.Al-so wanted to point out that this is the first VirtualCol plane that has wingflex! Very neat feature added and the first for VirtualCol products!
Looking forward to the future releases of their products as always; and can't wait for the new innovations and features they'll add next to their upcoming products!
