@Baracus250 you should try the Mach Loop for some real valley hugging!
Oh believe me, I have! Thing is the valleys aren’t as deep as some random places. Try Bella Coola mate 
My first flight of any new miljet is always Mach Loop though. Done hundreds of runs there in the Hawk 
The Mach Loop isn’t even as deep & twisty as other parts of Wales, let alone other areas in the UK. Then try some fjords…

- Are your response curves linear as was suggested by the devs above and copied by most of the people demonstrating here? That would be the first issue.
What do you mean by “linear response curves”? As per the video, the graph shown is a straight line, in essence, I’ve not changed anything from default when I first installed the sim and plugged the joystick in. All of the settings for the joystick are the same as the Just Flight FAQ (which I show in the video).
- The second question is whether you have calibrated your stick by whatever means you do so with your particular stick model. I heard an ugly rumor that the calibration routine for many sticks is “hidden” in the latest version of Windows, so you may have a miscalibrated stick and need to sort that out.
No, I haven’t. I didn’t know calibrating joysticks was still a thing. Searching on Win 10 using ‘game controller’ I’ve found the old test and calibrate dialogue from Win XP! It already shows full-scale deflection but I’ve done it and I can (still) see full-scale deflection in the settings in MSFS.
Tested in the sim after calibration and it made no difference.
- How does the stick behave with other aircraft? Try say, the Pitts. If that thing rolls slow, then it is definitely not the Hawk.
Now that is a very good idea to test. I never thought of that as I always fly the Hawk or the PMDG 737.
After a very dodgy take off I got the Pitts up to speed and the aileron roll was under 3 seconds, so I’m still thinking it’s a Hawk thing

@VanDisaster yes, I’ve since done the calibration and it made no difference. Also tested using the default Pitts and it was perfect… It seems to be a Hawk problem. I’m trying the Just Flight forum.

Please could you drop a link here (or DM me) as I definitely have similar issue to a lesser extent. Be good to know why! I kind of got used to it without realising it, but would like to solve it too! Cheers
@Baracus250 just posted here
DM me if you fancy meeting up in the Discord and flying around the Mach Loop.

Given the turbulence literally put my Hawk on it’s back landing at Yeovilton ( admittedly it’s a bit stormy down here atm ) … perhaps not the best day for low level in one

Yea not a nice day today in Plymouth. I had to catch a ferry into town and thought the boat was going to flip over! I don’t usually get sea sick but on the way back, after a McDonalds, let’s just say it was close 
At 400kts/effectively sea level best full aileron roll seems 1.7s. Interestingly changed the weather to something less like a hurricane remnant, and the aircraft took off without any fuss with just a little crosswind - no full rudder & riding a brake to keep it straight. Think maybe it is a bit wind sensitive in yaw.
Just flown my first Hawk trip in a few months and really enjoyed it. If it werent for a few un related multiplayer issues, I would fly it a lot more.
One big difference since last time, was the Tobii Eye Tracker and with this and from the rear seat of the aircraft, it really is fabulous to fly. No trimming issues (mind you, I do use a force feedback stick) and a sparkling performance combined to put a smile on my face. Looking forward to my next trip as soon as I can get time.

Just curious is there any more updates planned for this plane due out now SU10 is out?

I have three different throttle settings and none work with the Hawk. X-52 Pro Hotas. Default doesn’t work, I have one binded for just one throttle axis(most common used/preferred settings that work with most aircraft) and one binded for axis 1-4.
What is the specific required throttle settings for the aircraft to work?
I have a Logitech X52 (non-Pro), mapping the throttle axis to, well, “Throttle Axis” works fine for me.
Binding it to “Throttle Axis” works for me. There was a point after one of the sim updates (7 or 8) introduced a bug where it needed to be set to “Throttle Axis 1” but this was soon fixed and binding it to “Throttle Axis” has worked ever since.

We are waiting for answers to questions sent to Asobo. Before there can be any thought of using CFD, several areas need to be addressed - look at the fuselage side-on. It cannot be defined anywhere near accurately enough by what we have available (length, diameter, centre point). Wing dihedral - there is none on the Hawk, set this correctly and currently the aircraft will roll away from the direction of yaw (an incorrect implimentation of the secondary effect of rudder use). The tailplane anhedral cannot be accounted for.
There are many other small details, but just those Primary Surface issues should be enough to give you some idea of why nothing is happening at the moment. There are several known, clearly defined behaviours of the Hawk which we have not been able to replicate through ‘accurate definition’ of the aircraft’s shape (as far as that is possible). Hopefully we will start getting some answers from Asobo soon.

I have an X-52 Pro too (still the Saitek version). It has always worked fine for me with the default bindings.
I too had to assign the throttle to “Throttle Axis 1” after a certain SU introduced a bug as @musefan12345 said, and it has worked for me ever since. I know this bug has been fixed, but I haven’t bothered to change my bindings as they still work fine.

They didn’t manage to get wing sweep angle backwards ,did they? 
No, but the secondary effect of rudder use is certainly still not right - as here, no dihedral and it rolls the wrong way. Correct amount of dihedral in many MSFS aircraft will allow you to complete a 360 degree roll with no aileron input

Great thank you for the update
