Some more shots of Nick's wonderful Hawk T1 model along with the freeware DSB Hawk T1A from our RAF Hawks Part 1 package.

Simply amazing.

Honestly it's hard to tell which one is the former payware flyable model, and which one is the freeware AI only model. A tribute to Nick for sure.

just installed the Hawk AI pack and it Looks great, i do all of my flying out of Valley as im a big hawk fan and love heading through the valleys of snowdonia, just wondering if they actually follow real Hawk training routes such as the Mach Loop and LLyn ogwen lake areas? also do they ever reach full speed, as they seem to be taking in the views and not throwing the throttle all the way, its great to see a wonderfull addon like this, keep up the awsome work guys...

Well we are kind of governed by the FS engine as to how they fly I'm afraid, we cant alter the cruise speeds too much until Microsoft let us into the program coding.

Tranquil,

The cruise speed for AI aircraft in FS9 is limited to ~250 KIAS below FL 100. If you want the NBAI Hawks to approach their real cruise speed in KTAS you will have to observe them cruising at flight levels above this.

Any chance there will be a repaint in the US Navy's training scheme?? I'll do the AFCADs if someone will do the flightplans and repaints

Its already in progress mate. But Im not giving the game away just yet. Just keep your eyes on here. If you want a little more info check the BAe Hawk page at wikipedia. I'll tell you now we havent miss a single one.

Excelent repaint! A couple of times I had to rely on the aircraft number to identify the DSB Hawk from the AI Hawks.

Well its not only a repaint. Its a new model with alot of features that are very different to the T1.
