Well, some differences are definitely there. It feels more solid when holding a steep bank while turning. Pedals are still required for making coordinated turns. I think some IRL pilots on here have claimed that is not usually the case in real life - that pedals aren't really used much in high speed turns. Not sure if that's true, would be interesting to know... The collective response is different, and is now clearly coupled with roll/pitch behavior (dropping collective makes the chopper drop nose and to the right, if IRC). I don't notice too much ground effect difference, but the tendency to slide around on the ground seems to have come back - don't know if that's related. The main gripes I always had with it are still there: 1) centered cyclic that just gets jerked around and quickly returned to center to avoid over-correcting. 2)sluggish response to cyclic inputs. When in hover, attitude changes are delayed by at least a half second from the cyclic input. This seems off for a light helicopter. I'm glad to see some improvements being made though. I hope they continue, and are not minor.

Yes, I was testing it in updated 2.1, and so was the poster on Reddit who couldn't tell a difference either.

Honestly, I don't perceive any major differences. I haven't flown it in a long time, so maybe I'm not picking up on something. Either way, I'd say any improvements are subtle... edit: Are we sure the Gaz updates went through with the update on the 11th? Why aren't they listed on the update notes...seems like a major change to miss on the list...?

Thank you! The weird cyclic behavior seems like the main problem to me, but when I bring up the issue it gets lost in arguments over details of the FM... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=181563 No IRL pilot has ever come on here to confirm that the real Gaz flies level at full speed with a centered cyclic. In before "but different French rotor system, so it shouldn't fly like a helicopter"...

Hi Hawkeye, I need to download the mod files again? Do you have a link to the latest version I should download? Thanks

Does this mod work in 2.1? I had to delete it to install Normandy, but would like to fly it in that map if possible...

I lost interest because of the stuttering issues. I used to fly Nevada, but it crashes now in MP when I try to open the Nevada Virtual Aerobatics server. I'm hoping they can improve performance, but I'm not sure if that is even a realistic hope, or if we are looking at an object count limit type of thing... I was most looking forward to the revamped Caucuses map, but now I don't know how that is going to work out considering these performance issues.

Any development updates/ETA for the throttle?

Is the NTTR water texture any more visible in 2.1? As it is, I can't judge the water surface distance till I'm in the drink. It's completely flat. Hoping this was related to the low-res texture issue that is going to be fixed.

Any updates on the throttle development? ETA?

If you guys are interested in seeing this online, please chime in on my thread under Multiplayer where I request the Aerobatics Online server to include the Bell47. I know they don't usually include mods, but maybe they can make an exception.

Hi Smil... I'm pretty sure those f10 options are only available to the mission creator. Could be wrong though. By the way, I would most like to see the Bell47 in NTTR (then Normandy, hopefully). Caucasus would be cool too though. This thing's cockpit visibility is awesome with TrackIr, and it would be great for formation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXL3B3eBgzQ

That sounds good...I'm on Mountain time in the US. Maybe we can get a group together sometime. I posted a request for the Aerobatics Online server to add the mod, but no one answered yet.

Anyone else itching to do some formation flying in this thing? It would be a great way to explore Normandy. BTW, no big deal, but my trimmer button doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for putting your site and these interviews out there, Sergio. Very interesting, and you ask all the right questions. I also thought it was interesting the Xplane guy has plans for making that into a multiplayer environment. If there's one thing DCS needs, it's competition :thumbup:

Simulation of engine overheating is as important as the flight model? It's a flight simulator, not an engine simulator... I don't see it, but to each his own, my friend.

It has been an entire year since we all payed full price for this module. Ridiculous.

Please consider adding slots for the Bell47 Mod posted recently in the Mods forum. This is the closest thing we have to a light helicopter that flies like a helicopter. Thanks

Would anyone direct me to up to date information regarding how to set up a server for 2.0? I know very little about networking, opening ports, etc. I used to be able to host servers on an old DCS build (pre1.5), but now my servers seem to not show up. Thanks Edit: nevermind, I am renting a router and that appears to be a problem.

Hawkeye had a good idea with that FM poll...too bad it devolved into another dead end "discussion". I would like to be able to revert to the original one too. The Polychop guy stated recently that the FM is realistic. There you have it. It isn't going to be improved. We need to move on and look forward to the Bo105 from Oliver's new company. Who knows how long that will take, so why not enjoy the Bell47 that was just released? It would be awesome to get some multiplayer servers up with it included.

This strikes me as the best possible news... Oliver had dropped hints about things not working out. The 3d work on the Gaz is amazing, after all... BO 105 is back on my radar...hope it comes soon.

Got it to work, its really cool! Thanks to everyone involved. Good night for a Hot Blade server, eh Razorback? Hopefully the VA server will add this mod...

"the SA342M Gazelle in the game flys very close to what the real thing is like" Yes, ignore all points raised and offer more proof by assertion enabled by clapping seal sycophants. "take mah money hurpa derp"

Nope...I will try that when I get home. Anything else? Weren't there adjustments needed to the Huey FM? No documentation showed up in my Doc folder. Thanks
