I haven't flown the Gazelle yet, number one reason, the many comments about its flight model. I don't know when this last patch was done, but a quick scroll through the Gazelle forum brings up the following video, see post 43 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=174696&page=5
"Hard to take the Gazelle seriously", yes looking at this and other videos I must I agree. My overall impression is that -contrary to your statements- the Huey and the MI-8 both have very realistic flightmodels. They just feel great to fly. (perhaps the Huey -according to some- a bit more difficult than in real life)
Anyway, I would like to fly the Gazelle, but something tells me it's just not on par to BSTs products when it comes to the flight model, yet.
And one last gripe, the modeling of the gazelle, the BO is amazing, even better than BST imo (Huey textures look a bit bland in comparison), but the pilots, that's another thing. These are to me not the same quality as the rest of the 3d party developers, modeling or texturing. These characters really stand out like a sore thumb. I'd just turn the pilots off.
@cromhunt. On your website, the issues you bring up in the video (oct 6th) have these been resolved?
Perhaps the BO-105 will be more realistic with the MEDUSA system (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=146175 - don't know if this will be - or already is implemented with the Gazelle), time will tell I guess.
