MB339 vs Goshawk

Hi everyone,

I really like the idea of both of the above, they seem to both be pretty high quality but I have no idea which to get as I only want to get one for the time being.

I just wondered if anyone owns both and if either particularly stands out in any area e.g.:

Flight Model
Exterior/Interior Model & Textures
Real-world accuracy / complexity
Fun factor
Bugs

I’m guessing they are very similar but would love anyone’s input

I’d like to know as well!

I have both and prefer the Mb339 both are decent though. I’m no sim expert but I do enjoy flying them both, but if it was a choice between either id go with the mb339. Engine sounds are better. Quality is as good on either plane.

The Mb339 is more framerate friendly with the steam gauges.

I prefer the SimSkunkWorks G91 tho. Better sounds and imho more fun to fly. And it’s faster.

But if it has to be one of these two I would take the Mb339. :wink:

I own them both and for me it depends on the reason flying. Do you want a jet that is great for aerobatics and super responsive then I’d go MB339, if like the idea of carrier operations, a more modern HUD then the T-45C Goshawk.

Both are really good and I’d highly recommend watching reviews on them both to decide.

Edit: just realised the date on this… no idea why showed in my latest :laughing: but I guess may help someone else

They’re both great. If you can’t decide, here’s a big factor: the MB-339 is all steam gauges, while the T-45 has a HUD and some (older style) glass displays.

If one or the other of those is a big turn on or turn off for you, that may help. :wink:

Hah! Forum must have bumped the thread for no apparent reason, i love it when it revives necro threads like that. :wink:

And just to confuse things a bit, JustFlight are due to release the Hawk T.1 in the next couple of weeks.

Oh cool! I only saw was in development not that was due out. Any idea on pricing? I already have most jets so torn if worth getting but it’s so iconic in the UK given the Red Arrows that I think if is reasonably priced and a decent model may get.

Certainly one to watch. I know I will. Justflight have an excellent reputation at the moment and I don’t think they will let people down here.

I have both and love them. Among my favourite planes in the sim. I tend to fly the T45 more but that’s because I use add-on RAF liveries to make it look more like the Hawk that I really want :slightly_smiling_face:

I own them both and personally I prefer the MB339 but quite a margin. Both are equally well modelled but the 339 is just nicer looking plane in my opinion. I love the retro feel of it and as others have mentioned its really well optimised in the sim. Its great for fast jet VR flying.

I certainly wouldn’t get the Goshawk now that the Justflight Hawk T1 is just around the corner. Its looking incredible.
