Posted in another thread by the devs, only a few knots slower than mine:

Re-tried the running landing, this time with a nose up attitude, with pretty much the same result...Then again, maybe NeilWillis is right, and I just need to "git gud", although I agree with rtimmons in that it's a lot easier to do in the Huey.

Landing on grass from a stationary hover is certainly possible, however sliding landings are still a bit sketchy...

So I noticed an interesting tendency of the Gazelle; it seems to lose lift when accelerating past about a 150 km/h, even if I hold a constant steady attitude. Could someone please explain why this is happening (or if it's realistic behavior)? I made a short video, demonstrating the issue:

Forgot to mention that i'm flying with 20% fuel and no missiles in the vid, when i was flying with a heavier loadout, it took a lot more trim, and the effect was a lot less pronounced...maybe it has something to do with airspeed. I also haven't used any curves in the video.

So i made a short video, demonstrating the issue. The quality is not the best, but if you watch it in 1080p, hopefully you can see my aft cyclic input on the controls indicator, and that it doesn't simply try to keep level, but rather it pushes the nose down at a fairly constant rate.

It seems like the more nose down trim you apply, the stronger the effect is. Its also more noticeable on a lightly loaded helo...with 20% fuel and no weapons, I only needed four clicks of nose down trim to reproduce the bug, while with 80% fuel and two missiles, i needed 6 or 7.

Description: When trimmed for forward flight, applying slight backpressure on the stick will push the nose further down, instead of raising it up DCS Version: 1.5.3.52875 Open Beta Map: Caucasus SP/MP: Singleplayer Reproducible: Yes Step to Reproduce: Trim for an airspeed of 150 km/h+, apply very slight backpressure on the stick (cyclic) Track Available: See attachment Mission File: Generated with "Create Fast Mission" Controllers: Saitek x52 Pro Gazelle_Trim.trk
