Holbeach Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I bought the Gazelle a couple of days ago so I thought I'd try it on the slalom course I made, to get to know the Huey. This helicopter is much more twitchy than the Huey, so I crashed about half way around the course. Give it a try if your brave enough. .. Edited October 18, 2016 by Holbeach Grammar.

Holbeach Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 3 hrs flying is the the time it has taken me to realize you can't fly this like a Huey. It's more like a sports bike and it needs a very light touch to make it respond very precisely. I'm loving it now and it didn't take very long for that light bulb moment. when you know you're over the hump. .. I7 2600K @ 3.8, CoolerMaster 212X, EVGA GTX 1070 8gb.

Holbeach Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Cool!! I'd like to know your pc components and which configuration do you have into DCS. How many fps do you have? I've put my specs in the sig. All settings are on full and fps pegged at 60. Huey constant 60, Gazelle 30 to 60, Ka 50 and Mi 8 45 to 60, although in practice I never notice the difference. If you want to give it a try, I've added the mission. I've run the whole length in the Gazelle, but so far only in 2 parts, as I can't make it all the way without crashing :lol: GL. ..Mountain power lines .miz Edited June 14, 2016 by Holbeach Added fps info.

Holbeach Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) This vid marks the route of this training mission, which I'm using to get to grips with the handling of the Gazelle. I reduced the fuel from 100% to 50%, but still didn't make it up the mountain where I lost control and hit the wires.That point marks the start of the most difficult part of the route.

Holbeach Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) This is the 2nd part of the NOE slalom, designed to help improve handling the Gazelle and continuing on from where I crashed climbing the mountain in the last vid. Fuel is 100%, collective reduced to 90% saturation, 20 curve, roll reduced to 70% saturation, pitch at 100% Follow the containers and stay under the wires, but don't do a landing like this, I haven't got the hang of that part yet. Ha Ha. Please note, this is not about how to fly the Gazelle, I'm still a learner, it's simply to define the route. I've removed the curve from the collective, as that didn't work out. ..

Holbeach Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 This mission stopped working, due to a massive frame hit, but now it's running OK.

frwind Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 It was possible to fly passengers once on this Sa342, powerful spinner, with enough power margin. And then IMHO reduced margin. He flew at the helm of As350, real helicopter easier to control than here Sa342 Yes, all the controls of the minimum movement, the helicopter responsive.

flyingscotsman Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thank you for these, gent's I never thought of this, been in gazelles inIrelanb, many years back now and it was a bit like that, The pilot made it look so EASY, Now I'd kill for a landing where it's just intact, y'all skilled IMHO.

Rogue Trooper Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 How do you dudes record vids?.... I never did it before. I saved a run and then converted it to an uncompressed AVI in DCS but it is a whopping 26 Gigs. is this normal? will it be shrunk in "ITube"? HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz. Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holbeach Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) You will need to compress that file with an editor. I use Sony Vegas, but there are freeware programs out there that will do it. The 1st vid lasting 4.17 mins was recorded with Shadowplay at 60 fps and rendered to 29 fps for 433mb upload ( about 2 hrs.). Part 2 was 5.30 mins ( about 1.5 gb) and rendered to 60 fps and 850 mb upload about 5 hrs. all in MP4. I believe it is possible to upload AVI to Youtube, but it would take me a very long time. GL..
