I present to you the BAE Hawk T.2 / 127, this model was originally created by Rick Piper and Dave Garwood who have given us permission to release this as a freeware.

Currently, it uses the IndiaFoxtEcho T-45 for the Cockpit and the Just flight Hawk T.1 for the sounds so you need to own these in your Community folder for the T.2 / 127 to show in sim.

IFE have given us permission to modify and distribute their T45 HUD code for this freeware.

!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!
If you have the marketplace version or pirated version of the T-45C, it will not show up in the sim!

For the installer to work, extract the files and drag the installer and the BAE-HAWK-T2.zip into your downloads folder!

Run the installer and select your community folder where your T-45C is as the installer needs to look for that aircraft.

If you have addon linker, place the Full T-45C back into the community and once the installer has finished, you can move them in your custom addon linker folder.

******If you have the T-45C from the marketplace, I'm afraid the installer won't work since IFE & ASOBO have encrypted the files!*******

There are two Aircraft included , the T.2 and the Australian MK.127. with Liveries for the RAF, RAAF and RCAF included. All the Liveries have been created in 8K resolution and have no affect on performance. The Package contains all the Zip files and an installer .exe file which will automatically unzip the files from your Downloads folder and install them in the correct places in your Community Folder. It will also insert some Custom HUD files into the T-45C, and copy the Cockpit XML's from your T-45C into your T.2 / 127 to allow the cockpit to function. The sounds are linked to the Just Flight Hawk T.1 but if demand asks for it I can make a version to use the T-45's sound pack instead.

ISSUES :

- Throttle may be a issue as during testing it seems that for a handful of people with custom settings on their throttle it reduced the range from 0 - 100%.
- Not all lights are bound to switchs in the T-45C Cockpit.
- CT-155 model isn't technically accurate since it has formation lights in sim when the real one doesn't but I may add the CT-155 as another seperate airframe in the future so that it can be more accurate.

I understand some people may be upset from the use of the T-45C cockpit but it has saved time and allowed me to get it out quicker. I am considering adding a custom T.2 cockpit at a later date but it may still require the need for the T-45C for displays.

This is my first aircraft for the sim that I've handled most of the project for (modeling, animating, textures and coding) so I do apologise for any issues. I Can't thank "Biscuit" enough for creating the custom HUD for me and the help from "Don Fanucci" for the design of the paintkit. Big thanks to "Old fart" who created the custom installer for us.

If anybody creates any fixes for issues with the flight model or engine, if you contact me I will happily take a look at making it part of the base aircraft :)

Please let me know of any issues ! Links
