**************************************************
Thanks for downloading mt T-45C Goshawk model for Flight Simulator X.
The scope of this project si to provide virtual naval aviators with a "state of
the art" jet trainer.
I've tried to make a compromise between realism, playability and development tim
e and resources.
Hope you'll like it.
Please see the "docs" subfolder in the Boeing_T45C aircraft folder for a compreh
ensive flight manual.
INSTALLATION & COMPATIBILITY
****************************
Should you have any previous version of my T-45C Goshawk models, first REMOVE th
e Goshawk files from the
SimObjects/Aircraft folder.
Unzip the file (maintaining the proper folder structure) to your FSX Simobjects/
Airplanes subfolder.
Move the fx_navorange_t45.fx from the Boeing_T45C/Effects folder to your main FS
X Effects folder.

NOTE:
This aircraft requires Flight Simulator X: Acceleration or Flight Simulator X:Go
ld for full functionality.
May also work (but it is not tested) on Microsoft ESP and Lockheed Martin Prepar
3d.
FLIGHT MANUAL
***************************
Please see the docs sub-folder in the \SimObjects\Airplanes\Boeing_T45C for a co
mplete flight manual
SPECIAL FUNCTIONALITIES
***********************
Opening exit door number 2 ("SHIFT+E" then "2") extends the footsteps of the cre
w boarding system.
Opening exit door number 3 ("SHIFT+E" then "3") makes a baggage pod appear atta
ched below the fuselage.
Opening exit door number 4 ("SHIFT+E" then "4") makes practice bomb racks appea
r below the wings.
NOTE:
External loads will not affect flight behaviour in any way.
In the real T-45C carrier operation with external loads are FORBIDDEN.
SUGGESTED SCENERY:
******************
SUGGESTED SCENERY:
USS Nimitz class ships from Javier Fernandez are an absolute MUST HAVE for any F
SX user.
they are extremely detailed and realistic. File name is USS_Nimitz_IKE.rar.
They are AI ships so you either use them with AICarriers or download a scenery r
oute or mission using them.
TEXTURE AND REPAINT
*******************
All the textures are original and have been kept to the highest possible resolut
ion.
Textures are in DTX3 format, without MIPMAPs for maximum sharpness. This has a s
light impact on load times, and some
users may experience a slight delay switching from exterior/interior views.
Most textures have a resolution of 2048x2048 pixels.
