About my BAE Hawk T1A Simulator Project...

My Hawk flight simulator runs on Microsoft FSX, uses the Skysim Hawk T1A model, and interfaces real instruments via Arduino microcontrollers.

The cockpit shell is mocked-up from MDF but the instrument panels, glare shield and a few other parts are genuine, from XX304 a crashed RAF Red Arrow. The instruments themselves are a varied selection, some are genuine Hawk parts, some are simulator parts, others are from Hawk factory mock-ups and procedural trainers. I'm still missing a few items so if you can help please get in touch.

Where possible I am trying to interface unmodified instruments, although this obviously isn't practical for pressure controlled devices. Have a look at the Instruments tab to see how things are going.
