JF Hawk announced

[Chris Sykes]

Have been to the flight sim show today at Cosford and Just Flight have announced they are working on a Hawk T1! So far external model is made, looks like release hopefully Q1 next year!

Yes.. someone flagged it over at the Outhouse too. Hurrah!

Wonder if this one will be bug-ridden on release and bring a Cray to it's knees

There speaks a bitter man.

[DaveB]

Bitter.. no. I'm certainly not bitter at JF. It's just that a LOT of JF's (read Aeroplane Heaven) fast jets have been complete pigs and for no noticeable reason. The Wilco Harrier (Aeroplane Heaven) would barely run on my E8400 rig until I disabled the HUD and even then it ran so bad I stopped flying it. It's heavy (unduly heavy) on my i5 too.. still with the HUD disabled. Then we move to the Canberra Then.. to the Tornado I think the only one I have that runs well is the Lightning and I can only guess that the majority of the AH team were on holiday when it was made. They have the ability to 'out do' the likes of MilViz when it comes to poor frame rates

I wish them all the very best with it but I'll not be moving from the Skysim model.. no sir-ee

Yep, I'll be sticking with Ricks model as well. Good luck to JF, but it won't be bothering my wallet.

[ChrisHunt]

It does look good though.

[Paul K]

My boat remains unfloated, and my fancy untickled. Now, if they did a certain Shackleton MR2...

[DaveB]

No.. my boat will remain in dry dock too mate. Of all the aircraft they could have chosen..

Rick, please name these thieving bastards so that we can hound them out of the FS community - there is just no place for them here.
