Now that's the best news yet. :) Thankyou. Oh and a huge Thankyou for this module, granted the Gazelle is one of the few UK military helicopters I've not had the pleasure to fly in, but I find her an absolute joy to fly, well worth the wait. I loving every minute I spend in her, even if I've still got to do a landing where I can use the same helo again. ;) Cowboy10uk

Hi guys, I'm guessing as we all love aviation, there's a fair few of us on here that also use P3D or Xplane for their Civi flying fixes. If so could I please pick your brains. I've been out of Civi flying for the past few years after the birth of my daughter, I just couldn't find the time for a full flight, I only like to sim in real time and full fidelity. However noes she's 2 and at nursery it means I'm getting a tad more time on my days off to fly. Previously I used P3D 2.5 and the PMDG 777 along with A2A general aviation aircraft. However I'm aware that P3D has now moved onto Version 3 which requires a full purchase of P3D yet again, which of course is a tad expensive. I've always been put off Xplane as I never found the cockpit graphics too realistic, always reminded me of an old 1990s sim, however with the release of the new 737 I see that has all changed. It also has the benefits of being a 64bit program. So as I'm having to start again pretty much. Which way would you guys recommend I jump. P3D 3 With PMDG 777? Or Xplane with the new 737? Obviously I'm after the most realistic sim experience I can get for heavy metal long haul routes 9 - 10 hrs + and Realistic weather, ATC, Traffic and Airports if possible. Thinking spending £500 roughly for main program, Terrain, weather, and scenery addons, and obviously the aircraft itself Cowboy10uk

Wow support for the Gazelle already. That's stunning news and as stated a fantastic turn around. Sadly in the middle of my 6 on days at the moment so haven't even turned the pc on since Fri night, let alone flown anything. :( Will test it on Thurs though. Cowboy10uk

Option to remove doors please. Cowboy10uk

Fantastic news, just didn't feel right flying without any seat feedback yesterday. :( Cowboy10uk

Well my first few flights are complete, Damn isn't she a fun little beast. Just doing circuits and bumps at the moment as well as some high level transiting. Lovely and stable once you get here trimmed out, was flying hands off at altitude, but damn shes a twitchy thing at low speed. those rudder pedals are damn sensitive. Trying to lift her to hover taxi is rather difficult at the moment, and controlling her once I get low and slow is well intresting to say the least Well done polychop, a very very fine heli indeed, and one that's gonna give me years and years of pleasure. :) Cowboy10uk

Doooohhhh, I did that with the Dora, contact ED and they may be able to help. That's what I did. Cowboy10uk

Oh damn, I can't wait. All installed, but need to wait until I put the munchkin to bed. Hard enough trying to learn a new helo, without a 2YO trying to press every button on the keyboard. :) I love challenges, I remember hearing the same about the Blackshark, Huey and MI8. However now I'm used to the Huey I can't believe how easy the Blackshark is. Hopefully once I get used to the Gazelle, I'll find the same with the Huey. Really really looking forward to taming this bird. Cowboy10uk

Bugger and Windows is still bloody updating. :( You lucky lucky sods. ;) Cowboy10uk

Can you believe it, damn Windows has just chosen this time to do a large update. :O Bloody thing. Cowboy10uk

Just start flipping buttons, what could possibly go wrong Cowboy10uk

Can't wait to shoot a Huey down with the sniper team. :) head shot on the pilot and down she goes. Cowboy10uk

Not yet, waiting on the DCS 2 update to release. That includes the Gazelle. Don't think she's available for 1.5 yet until next update. :( Cowboy10uk

Now just have to wait for DCS update to come out. :( Cowboy10uk

Too late, already done. ;) Cowboy10uk

Purchased. OH and I could use $15 of bonus points for purchase, way to go guys. :) Cowboy10uk

This is the ED community. Our guys can find anything. ;) Cowboy10uk

YET. :) At least we know she's on short finals. Just keep hitting the F5 like the rest of us. :) Just don't crash the website until I've purchased mine. ;) Cowboy10uk

Fantastic. Ok god I hope they have fixed the bug where DCS 2.01 keeps crashing after 5 mins. So then $49.99 you say. Take my money. :) Cowboy10uk

You got a link, I've not seen the newsletter yet Cowboy10uk

Ahhhh so is it worth us using F5 then, nicely of course. ;) Cowboy10uk

Question is will it come out for Alpha or Beta first? As my Alpha is shot at the moment I hope they either fix the bugs at the same time or release on Beta. So so close I can almost taste it. Come on ED, Friday afternoon is the perfect time for release. Trust me. :) ( wife's at work and I'm home alone. ) ;) Cowboy10uk
