I was really saddend when the MB-339a Mod was discontinued with DCS 2.7, so it's great timing on VNAO's part, Glad we've got another great (free) mod to give us a much needed Training aircraft once more! VNAO have knocked it outa the park with this one, it's a must have for your dcs collection! Support the creation of more content!: www.patreon.com/RedKite
great overview of this outstanding freeware plane mate
The MB-339 was a really sad loss. But VNAO new work its AMAZING!
@Mcreee Mei Yeah, no issue with them doing that, got to make a living somehow, just a pity it's not also available in dcs.
I thought ED gave MB-339 a license? Or am i just having some Mandela effect.
@@AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-y5f I am told it is still on the way to being an official module.
Day 1 and its already better than the VEAO Hawk
Well, it's hard to be worse...
@@getsideways7257 i mean that thing had the downforce of a f1 car on the ground
@@FookFish Suffice to say it had SFM (and there is NO "good SFM") to the bitter end...
I bought it because of being one of my childhood favourites and got disappointed in a big way.... Crappy ED didn't even refund... By law they should've since the aircraft never left early access...
@@hbladeh well it is what it is. I wanted my refund too, but was told to pound sand like the rest of us.
This just made me remember the original hawk module. RIP. This is a perfect replacement.
I really wanted the Hawk module to be good, very nearly bought it. Damn shame what happened to it.
@@RedKiteRender I also was just about to pull the trigger when VEAO dropped out, since they did make some good progress in the last few months... glad to get the T-45 mod now at least.
Better module than that sorry excuse VEAO gave us
Yeah I loved the original Hawk. I actually still have 1.5 installed so I can use it.
@@RedKiteRender i bought it. only time i ever regretted a purchase in DCS. and even then that was more because the support and development was dropped.
I wouldnt be surprised if this takes the route of the MB-339 mod and becomes an official module
I whould buy it for sure
@@SimoneSerponi same
RK, super overview of the T-45C. Hope the DCS community enjoys it.
Liked the clip of the Goshawk “working the wake” with bombs and rockets. Never seen it done from a starboard side pattern though - never seen trainers train behind a ship's wake - but it’s possible and players will have fun calling in and off...as you and BD did in the R1 extra hop.
It's going to be very useful to learn the basics of a strike fighter, especially with the publically available FTIs from CNATRA.
Thanks kindly Kevin! The starboard pattern was a result of the air start location when getting footage for the video! I wasn't doing full patterns. Certainly will be looking to re-run the patterns from the bonus R1 mission with a few friends trying out the T-45 later. :)
It would be a perfect free module for DCS as for new players that can try out BFM, ground engagement as well as landing on rock or boat. Little bit more time to work on systems and it'll be perfect
what do you mean would be? it is free mod that every beginner can install
Thank you VNAO. Outstanding !
Indeed!
Really should have been a real module.

L-39: am i a joke to you
C-101 yea what he said
Haha yeah okay. They exist, but they're not naval, and I really feel DCS needs one in it's core, selling one as a full module is a hard sell to a newcomer.
@@RedKiteRender Personally I got the L-39 as my first FF module and loved it. I also think it's helped my flying greatly.
C101 is probably my favorite module in DCS for just flying around. It also gave me a good grounding in the basics. No CCIP hand holding. You gotta know how to setup and fly a good bombing approach, know your aim off point, know the physics behind the bomb drop to get your warheads on foreheads. The one thing I miss with the module is the lack of carrier landing options. This new module might be just the ticket. Its hard selling these "trainers" to new players in DCS because they just aren't as sexy as the Falcons and Hornets. Once you have played around with the fancy stuff though the simplicity and benefits of the "trainers" become much more apparent. Looking forward to trying the Goshawk.. When I stop getting the message that it has been viewed/downloaded too many times and I will have to try back later.
@@TLTeo It was also my first module, and every time I jump back in ... i get the excitement of the first few flights of my early DCS days. My opinion on this is that anyone who began in DCS with the latest aircraft like the F18 is missing a LOT. You appreciate these marvel WAY MORE when you started with trainer planes.
Sad Czech noises.
4:34 DCS is laking a solid Carrier based trainer. For land based there are some good around (L-39 and C-101) Which are not as modern as a Goshawk for sure though.
Yeah true enough, but being free the T-45 makes it so much easier to introduce a new player, I feel dcs could really do with a core free trainer aircraft like the T-45 or even a T-2 buckeye to ease the learning cliff a bit!
@@RedKiteRender Moot point now that we have the T-45, but IMHO, Eagle Dynamics should make the L-39 the free plane with the base free game. Ideally, it'd be the C-101 as that's Western, but it's 3rd party so it'd be expensive to buy the rights from AvioDev.
Living near NAS Meridian I love watching the student pilots flying the goshawk doing their carrier breaks...can't wait to try this mod out in DCS...
Awesome review! Had a blast flying and filming it before public release so this video has really made me want to test it out again! Thanks again for the quality of the videos and keep it up!
I was hosting a Training Session with Dino Cattaneos T-45C in FSX a Decade ago. Using it together with the Pensacola NAS and the Eisenhower Mods - Was amazing! I think the new Guam Map will be perfect for it! I'd also love a T-38 for Nevada!
If you're willing to step outside DCS, MilViz's T-38 for P3D is outstanding.
@@urgentsiesta7606 I got FSX and P3D and Milviz's F-15E, Harrier and the T-38. I just want to have it also in DCS!
@@urgentsiesta7606 I'd say their Phantoms are even better. Or were, since the FM coder left them since then...
@Urgent Siesta @WanderfalkeAT what free FSX planes are realistic and accurate to real thing?
Update: I see that Milviz F15 E is free now. But I installed FSX on D; no way to set F15 auto installer, it only runs a useless pseudo installation on C.
Player: "your hawk module is bulls**t!"
VNAO: show you the T45 free mod
Thanks for sharing
I love it how there is just a random cow next to the runway
VNAO make a full fi module!
Does this mod just require the base game?
Yes, you dont need any Modules to run it.
Career opportunity for someone: virtual flight instructor.
Iam haveing trouble with the download comes as a zip but dosnt pack zip has separate file saying part
10/10 would
Just as a heads up, I am having trouble with the download link, and from reading the other posts it seems like that's because of such high traffic right now, hopefully it gets sorted over time
Try the updated links in their discord
Yea in the announcement channel of their discord they’ve posted updated links to use
The french navy pilots are instructed with the US on this plane ! I like it... very comfortable after a hard combat flight and very smart to train on the basics !
😍
My dad used to sneak me into t45 sims when I was a kid, crazy how much technology advances in just a few years😂
i downloaded the mod, but cant fly it with my super libra stick, way too sensitive even when I turned down everything. i pretty much have to fly the jet with the trim button
Im looking to use this exactly as intended, to get me into DCS but how do i install it ?
So glad I not long bought this in MSFS 🤦
Hey guys just downlaoded this mod, I have the full game [ED version, not steam] and im having the "Authorization failed. The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: VNAO T-45 Goshawk" problem. Been all over ED forums and not much has been helpful. Seen some stuff about old mods and product keys. Anyone who knows a fix, help would be greatly appreciated
You installed it in the game folder? re-read the install instructions, it goes in the savedgames folder
@@RedKiteRender Thanks! I just deleted the entire mod and re downloaded it and it is working now! Now if I can just get the joystic lookaround to work so I'm not stuck staring at the HUD
Good day i have last version buy i have a black mirror on canopy
What a difference a letter makes.... (VNAO versus VEAO) way to show em how's it is done, fellas! Amazing you guys could do this without an SDK when all VEAO seemed to be able to do was blame ED for everything.
How do you install this mod ? Under C:\users\my_account\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft, it's not recognized.
The thing is, on my rig, the games directory is called C:\users\my_account\My Games , not C:\users\my_account\Saved Games
But none of them works.
Good day sir, Is it possible to have the link for this version? Thank you, mine doesn't have working mirrors
Latest version is on their discord, this version is outdated, and probably won't run on the current DCS version.
Is this still a good mod? It seems to have fallen of the radar lately.
Looks alot like Yugoslavian galeb g-4.
hello, did they pretty much use their hawk that was removed from DCS in 2018, because i was very impressed with the second version of the FM they worked on a released.?
This will be an incredible training aircraft for the Australian Digital Air Force
When I idowloaded and installed it, and then started up DCS I recevied a message that this is an unauthorised mod and will be disabled. Any thoughts, help?
You've installed it in the wrong location. re-read the installation instructions.
@@RedKiteRender thanks for your reply. Will try again.
DCS just keeps getting better and I just love it
does it work in open beta?
Very very cool :) With the and the MFSF T-45, we should be able to do a pretty comprehensive USN jet training regime :)
What a beautiful mod, even with Multicrew!
Is there any chance of this module going through formal Eagle Dynamic approval as a formal module ?
I still think the latest models of the BAe Hawk are better this is still a decent frame that fulfills its role well
Drewski would have been sitting in here!
You can control the LSO station buttons?
Yes, it's in development. Only the wave off lights do anything at the moment
Finally a good comeback of my favorite plane
Anything for the rearseater?
It's a trainer, so just repeat of the controls and ability to take control (in the case of dcs)
huh ? I downloaded this aircraft, can't look around the cockpit as I normally would with the mouse, must use NumPad and I just don't have a throttle of any sort, nothing works and nothing is under the controls sections, would anyone know wtf has gone wrong ?
Which directory did you install it?
@@MongooseTacticool Heya dude, I installed it to:
C:\Users\"User Name"\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\mods\aircraft\VNAO-T45
@@rustyneedles3743 yeah that seems right. Weird it's not working properly.
@@MongooseTacticool is it working properly for you ? do you have either the Steam version or the recent 2.7 release, another person seems to say it maybe conflicting with the 2.7 update, though, I'm still unsure about that
@@rustyneedles3743 I don't have the T45 but I do have the A4 and C130 mod in that directory.
Absolutely fantastic mod!!! Many many thanks for some real flying pleasure!
Can you play in online servers??
Only if that server supports that mod, has slots for it
nice
your interior looks so much better than mine
1:10 Someone please show this to ED. Theirs on the Hornet is broken since release.
Sadly the download link on the forums is 404 and I can't find any on the Discord... meh.
The mod looks great though, but I was kinda expecting it to also be able to carry live munitions. But I guess it will be fun to bust through the clouds with it anyway :)
Try the VNAO-t45-announcements channel
Silly me, got the link from the #vnao-t45-announcements now. Was looking in the general announcements section :D
"broken since release"
Just like the TDC on the Ka-50, which they just fixed with 2.7. Only took them like 13 years, despite all the numerous reports about it. And there are dozens of other bugs which have been acknowledged but seemingly nothing is done. Just think about certain slingloads or how AI struggles with terrain or evading missiles.
"Broken" and "DCS" go hand in hand.
How can I use this mod in Steam DCS?
Does it work with 2.5.6?
Is this a mod?
the cow really made the video
I don't get it. Why all that effort and not have it fully included in DCS?
Licensing.
This question can be asked of pretty much any user created mod for every game out there but in DCS's case, the specific reason is that a mod isn't really developed even nearly to the same standard as a official first or third party DCS module. I don't really say this as a value judgment against mods but more as a statement of fact that even some popular mod makers have tried to make very, very clear to those in the community who ask the very same question you just did. The A-4 mod is a good example. When asked why they don't push to make it an official module, the mod team has repeatedly said that doing so would require a total redo so that it can meet the standard. Likewise. They would need to go from doing the mod as a hobby to officially supporting it as a job. That isn't a trivial distinction.
Mods can be a lot of fun and really well made but they are not built with meeting the DCS standard in mind.
How do I download it?
Heeeeeelp. Why can’t I get the hydraulics to work
did you work anything out ? I can't even throttle up, it has one control for throttle but that decreases throttle till the engine is off, if I cursor over the throttle stick, it only moves to two positions, yet still doesn't really change throttle amount, I'm confused as it seems to be working for everyone else, arggggg
@@rustyneedles3743 Hi. I upgraded to 2.7 and had problems, so I ended up deleting all my mods
@@chrisoz4929 oh, yes, I too upgraded, I had the steam version but when I seen the updated clouds etc I jumped to 2.7, I wonder if this is what's causing the issues ... arggggg
Works only on DCS 2.7 or also 2.5?
On 2.5.
what is the d/l link ?
A free two seater jet ? great !!!!!
They did a fantastic job
link is no good
Omg flippin amazing
is the dropbox link gone?
Link got hugged to death with too many downloads, check their discord - VNAO-t45-announcements channel for updates to new links. discord.gg/xKRCmNPSjB
0:10 where can i get that Hawk skin
On the BAE hawk? that's a default dcs livery.
@@RedKiteRender oh so its just an AI asset?
@@parsnips7639 The BAE Hawk was originally a full fidelity module, but things went wrong, quality wasn't where it should of been and it was abandoned and removed from sale. It remains as an AI asset in dcs.
Does anyone know good DCS squadrons?
NOT the Grim Reapers!
Search Discord for Wingmanfinder and we have a section full of squadrons.
Join the VNAO Discord, we have several Hornet and Tomcat Squadrons and even a Naval Helicopter Squadron.
I mean, if I'm being honest I really don't see the point in an aircraft like this. We're already inside a simulator.
A. It's free, and B. it allows people to more realistically simulate a real world training course, which is quite important to some flying groups with a focus to realism, and was the whole reason it was actually made!
THE MOD IS ONLY FOR HOTAS, I DONT HAVE IT :(
This is DCS . Hotas non-negotiable .
@@9duckman9 i play every planes with keyboard
@@LeonXD111 that’s a crime against humanity! Get yourself a hotas!
@@9duckman9 i dont have the money, im a15 kid
@@LeonXD111 A great entry level Hotas that is affordable is the Thrustmaster T. Flight. You can find used on ebay for even less than new.
Any mods for Russian aircrafts out ?
Yes
Yes...if you like reskins of FC3 aircraft with a tweaked flight model.
If you want a 'full fidelity module' you can forget about it.
@@fonesrphunny7242 Or crappy SFM excuses of a "flight model"
How do you allow shared controls between back and front cockpit?
Can't be shared, either the front seat or back seat gets control (dcs limitation), I think it was J to take control from the other seat.
@@RedKiteRender thank you
