Thanks for the review Borchi_2b, It is going to be great to finally have a agile light weight chopper in the game.

HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!.

Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.

Great video, thanks for sharing :thumbup:

 

Quick question for Polychop team:

In the vid and previous screenshots, I noticed the glass canopy (and the whole 3D model) seems to be lacking a shader texture for light reflection...

Correct me if I'm wrong, or still to be implemented?

The video is pretty old. We already implemented all that stuff.

Hi guys,

 

I really have to thank the guys(pilots) who helped us getting her done right. It is a blast to ride her at 3m altitude cross country and buzzing cars at streets.

 

My first impression was that a helicopter can not be that agile but eventually she is.

I had a little conversation with a team member and she flys like the real deal if you do not alternate the curve in the axis.

So well I got back into the cockpit. Replayed a couple of times the start up mission.

 

Ok , now I had been confident to fire her up.

 

I have to state here that I had hands on her the first time 4 days ago. So I think my experience will be similar to any other person who flys her the first time now a days.

 

So there we go. First the startup. Mission was set to dawn to gain some nice screenshots.

The sounds were already nice. All lights were set. Strobe was working fine.

Engine rpms looked good. Well, rotorbreak up and throttle up. Trim, gyro, pitot heat and a few other systes activated. ADI adjusted in one of the final steps.

 

Ok. Cheking sounds again. Well time to lift her for the first time.

Rudders to the right a bit and lift

 

I had to remind myself to go easy on the inputs, cause she is a light scout and I was lucky doing so as I figured later on.

Ok, well I thought fly her first and get her stable to get a feeling for rollrate and pitch.

 

First I cruised for 5 min at 300+ m and checked rollrate.

I figured why one of the pilots who gave us input on the flightmodel said, "never use full stick movement!"

I nearly spinned out of control. Recovered her after 100m alt loss.

Ok Sven, you just experianced that this helo is a complete different deal than the ka50. Well it weighs only 1/8 of it.

Ok stay easy on the stick and all will be fine.

Next pitch. Also impressive but you have to keep constant pressure on the blades as i figured.

Nick was well similar to roll and i went into a spin. From which i could not recover.

.

Ok, now this lady got me by my balls.

She will not master me, I will master her !

 

So again I gave it a try.

All the same like before. Now i flew a few turns at higher alts.

As soon i felt comfortible with the input sensitivity i decided to go low and buzz a street.

 

Well at the beginning 230km/h seemed super fast do to the fact that this huge window gives you a good front view. Ok. It took not long and I started to buzz cars and saw altitudes of 3m average on the clock.

 

After the highways cut short i hammered into krymsk and passed buildings just a few meters of my rotoredge.

Sometimes the ground effect and the pitch in combination nearly got me killed but well, you can get used to it fast.

As soon you know what you have to take care of and pay attention to you can really start to enjoy the agility of this little beauty.

 

So well next was a landing. Total different deal.

Do to the fact that she is so sensitive you have to be super carefull on hover or slow flights.

Now it was done. All stages of first flight were tested.

I was enjoying so much and forgot the past four hours. They went by within no time.

 

Ohh what is also a super nice effect, the blades do flap and bang on pressure so in corners you habe some nice fesling of pressure immersion.

 

I hope we can all share this beauty soon and enjoy her in multiplayer all together.

 

From my point of view, she really is a funbird.

 

I wish you all a happy halloween and soon I will probably read your first impressions.

 

Cheers

Sven

Thank you for the video Fragger. :thumbup:

But forgive my audacity, would it be possible to post a recent video?

I'd love to see the Gazelle with all the implementations since then.
