SA342 Gazelle

Dear all,

 

On Sunday, April 10 at 1100 US Pacific Time, Polychop and I plan do to a Youtube livestream of the Gazelle. Next week we plan to move the Gazelle into test, and we think this is a great time to start showing off the near-final product. In addition to me trying my hand at flying the Gazelle, the Polychop team will be on chat to answer Gazelle questions posted in this thread.

In addition to showing off the Gazelle, we will also be providing a first look at a massive texture overhaul DLC of the Caucasus map done by Starway. More information on this will be coming.

 

Please post your Gazelle questions here for Polychop.

 

Thanks,

Matt

 

Dear fellow simmers,

We are making good progress on the addons of the Gazelle.

Here're are some shots of the peacemakers which you'll get soon

 

Dear Simmers,

 

almost 4 weeks after the Gazelle release, we're still busy improving things on our module to give you the best 

flight experiences possible. We also like to take the change to say thank you to all of you for the positive feedback  

Speaking of that, we improved our FM, based on additional feedbacks of real Gazelle Combat pilots - and of course, we also fix

the issues based on your feedbacks. We also will create a video on how to create bugs effectively.

 

The main fixes are:

 

* no more skid sliding when taking off

* improved Curve behaviour

* Rudder sensitivity

 

and a few other things like Rudders to be assigned to the keyboard and switching off the Co-Pilot's body 

 

SA342L:

We're on a good way to deliver you with the free add-on which features the GIAT Gun, Rocket pod, Mistral and the Sniper Team in 

the rear compartment. In the last days we made some testing on the new peacemakers -> only gun and rocket. Everything is WIP

 

Dear Simmer,

 

Today we finished the MISTRAL ...

 

Here's the Missile:

 

Speed: 800 m/s at mach 2.5 (3000 km/h)

Range: 6 km

 

Hello Gents,

 

Here's a list of things that have been adressed since the gazelle release and other things that are work in progress.

 

Note : some of these fixes may not show with the current public release and will be in a future update.

 

Thanks for your understanding.
