T-45C 2.00 Beta version released!

**Dino Cattaneo** · June 7th, 2011, 22:56

Should anyone want to give it a try, a public beta version of my new T-45C Goshawk is available on my blog.

Please follow the instructions and report bugs or suggestion through my blog. Although I check-in at SOH quite often, I'd like to consolidate the feedback in one place. Thanks!

Very impressed with the documentation - much better than you get with most payware. This is going to be fun.

Roger, Wilco.

As always, thank you for all of the work you do. Your airplanes always put a smile on my face; I'm sure this will be no different.

Congratulations on the Beta.

Cheers,

Chris

I love it.....only one thing.....having seen and photographed a bunch....it seems to be sitting a little high....since this is a beta I thought I'd throw this out there. Other than that....she's awesome! :salute:

Looks fantastic

First quick test flight; so far it looks like a Hawk, sounds like a Hawk and flies like a Hawk!

***Roger*** · June 8th, 2011, 13:15

Looks great and although it's a beta I think it deserves a stickie

**Bruce Thompson** · June 8th, 2011, 13:52

Oh Yes!

**BrittMac** · June 8th, 2011, 21:43

Wow, this is one of the best freeware planes I have ever landed on a carrier. Caught the wires on the first and third attempt and only missed the second because I started running my mouth on TeamSpeak and got a hair high so I went around.
VC looks great, she flies great, and has a great temperament on approach. Some brake hanging out, a bit of throttle, and she settles nicely for approach. Very nice Dino! If this is a beta, I can't wait to see the even more finely-tuned product.

Can't wait to see some of the fantastic repaints that will come out of this release. CoNA repaints are a must!
Thanks again!

**Dino Cattaneo** · June 9th, 2011, 00:19

All,

Once again, thanks a lot for your appreciation and support!
I am receiving a lot of positive feedback...and a lot of bug reports - will work on the fixes next week.

@trisager
Good to see that someone has appreciated the documentation!

@skyhawka4m
I know it is sitting high... can't promise a fix, as previously it had different gear settings that made it sit lower but created some animation problems.

@BrittMac (& others)
Unfortunately CoNA repaints (as well as other "special" ones) may be difficult due to texture layout... They are not a priority for me at the moment - but I'll have a look at them later on.

**MikeH** · June 9th, 2011, 01:52

Congratulations Dino,

This is without doubt some of the highest quality work I have seen (& that includes payware).

Stunningly detailed manual, VC and exterior and an absolute pleasure to fly. Will let you know if I find any bugs - none yet.

Many thaks

Mike

**Bob.sc** · June 10th, 2011, 11:51

Haven't installed yet.

THANKS DINO!!

**Aircanuck** · June 10th, 2011, 15:10

Terrific Work once again !

Quick question .... If I'm not mistaken Mr.Cattaneo you commented ( on your website ) about running with the actual sounds from a production T 45 ?

Is this still a possibility ?

Cheers for now

Aircanuck

Great Stuff Dino! Love the HUD!

Do we have ILS/TACAN capabilities yet? Or am I just not doing something correctly

Regards, Diego

Hi Diego,

Yes, I've made several manual ILS runway landings using HUD "needles", and a back approach, but haven't used AP yet for such a landing so I'll give it a go soon.
Choose the HSI page on the menu, then choose ILS on the left, and your HUD is ILS.
