A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and simulator background
The T-45 adapted the British Aerospace Hawk Mk.60 for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps carrier training. Its airframe required strengthening for catapult launches and carrier landings, giving the Hawk lineage a different operating role.

The manual describes powered stabilator and aileron controls and an unpowered rudder. Spring cartridges, inertia and viscous damping supply feel. A speedbrake interconnect can move the stabilator without moving the stick, so that surface motion has a different mechanism from pilot trim.

IndiaFoxtEcho marks RAT/emergency hydraulic and emergency-flap functions as absent in the simulation. The documentation distinguishes a pedal shaker from a stick shaker and gives 200 KIAS gear/flap limits separately from the 217-knot slat inhibition threshold.

The T-45 adapted the British Aerospace Hawk Mk.60 for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps carrier training. Its airframe required strengthening for catapult launches and carrier landings, giving the Hawk lineage a different operating role.
The T-45C control system combines powered stabilator and ailerons with an unpowered rudder. Spring cartridges, inertia and viscous damping provide control feel. IndiaFoxtEcho's manual separately identifies simulator features and unimplemented emergency functions.

History & design
Adapting the Hawk for carriers
The carrier-training programme developed the Hawk Mk.60 into the T-45. Carrier launches and landings required extensive airframe strengthening. The resulting trainer served the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, while retaining its Hawk design lineage.
