FOR MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X:
ACCELERATION
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT: This document is part of the freeware T-45C Goshawk add-on package for
Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration and is supplied with the sole scope of providing help and
information for the usage of such software in the Microsoft Flight Simulator videogame. No warranty of
any kind is provided nor any level of realism or accuracy is granted: the information in this manual
may differ significantly from real world – DO NOT USE THIS MANUAL AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION
FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT OPERATIONS OR TRAINING!
LETTER OF PROMULGATION
1. With the release of the new version of the T-45C Goshawk for
Flight Simulator X: Acceleration, I have decided to include in
the package this “VNATOPS” Flight Manual, that is a flight
manual that mimics the structure and the information contained
the real world NATOPS manual.The intent is to provide the
users, gamers and aviation enthusiasys with more information
and details about the T-45C Goshawk (both real and virtual) in
order to provide more fun for those looking for more realism,
and a detailed source for those willing to learn something
about jet training and naval aviation in general.
2. Although this manual closely resembles the structure and
content of the first chapters of real world fight manual, it
has been extensively modified for use within the Flight
Simulator X videogame.Whenever possible, the differences
between the real plane and its virtual counterpart have been
highlighted and explained.This manual also includes some
informations that are not relevant to Flight Simulator X, but
that were considered interesting or fun for the aviation
enthusiast.
3. This manual, as well as the whole T-45C Goshawk for Flight
Simulator X: Acceleration project, has been created on the
basis that Flight Simulator X is a videogame and nothing more
than that. Therefore, although the project is quite detailed,
we cannot guarantee any level of realism.
Have fun!
