The Hawk T1 is equipped with a front and rear cockpit, and both cockpits are fully-functional and configured just like the real aircraft. The front cockpit is used for solo flight and the rear cockpit is used by a flight instructor or passenger (for example ground crew). The rear pilot can be toggled on/off using the EFB tablet option.


The Control button on the EFB allows you to quickly configure each cockpit for flight from the chosen cockpit. The Control button has two settings:

  • Front – selected when flying from the front cockpit. Front cockpit gunsight controls are enabled. Flap and gear selectors are configured for use from the front cockpit.
  • Rear – selected when flying from the rear cockpit. Rear cockpit gunsight controls are enabled. Flap and gear selectors are configured for use from the rear cockpit.



By default the aircraft will be configured to be flown solo from the front cockpit.


It is still possible to fly the aircraft from the non-selected cockpit but gunsight, flap and gear control will remain with the other cockpit unless manually selected otherwise.


If starting from a cold and dark state, you will need to remember to correctly configure the rear cockpit if flying solo from the front cockpit.
