DarkCrow Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I've been watching the Gazelle forums since it came out and have been wanting to get it. Since there was a sale today I just had to get it as I had 26 dollars in bonus points that I was able to use towards it. I am going to love this bird! I have only flown it a couple times. I shot this video right after setting up the controls so I have virtually no experience in it. I have read the forums a lot so I knew what to expect and heard that the flight model is a lot easier now with the update. I fly with a Saitek X-55 with no extensions and I left all curves default. She takes a very light touch for sure and I will have to get use to the fly-by-wire. Maybe my video will encourage some of you that were intimidated by the Gazelle because of what the forums were saying. I don't know how bad it was but it is a piece of cake now. Just will take practice for more precision and anticipation of how the Gazelle will react to inputs. [ame= ] [/ame] Great job Polychop!! I will buy any helicopter you make.

DarkCrow Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 How do you fly her so well. Are you a wizard? I guess it's that Fly-by-Wire or Stability System or whatever it is.
Ramsay Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Very nice. AFAIK unlike the Huey, the Gazelle should be flown using RH turns whenever possible. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
Sporg Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Nice flying. :) She was a bit more twitchy before, that's all. Also some trouble when being light on the skids, but not unmanageable. System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use
Aginor Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) On sunday I also tried it the first time since the patch (just for a few minutes, had to watch football), and the first thing I really had to do was removing the curves from the axes. And wow, what a difference! I can now hover it decently without looking like having a seizure. Looking forward to try it some more. She is still twitchy, and that's ok! She isn't a Huey and reacts very lightly to control inputs. But now it is manageable. Now the only thing putting me off is the lack of FFB. At least a center force would be nice.

DarkCrow Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Ty! I shot another video last night showing how different the huey and gazelle are to fly. I freaking love flying this thing! [ame] [/ame] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
DarkCrow Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 I tried landing on a moving vehicle for fun and it ended in a crash. [ame] [/ame] This attempt was closer but still no dice. [ame] [/ame] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DarkCrow Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 Ty Devrim, and you're exactly right, no excessive movements. It's easy to lose control of her with heavy inputs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
