Actually they currently don't have anything submitted to look over, evertyhing is either already released and in our hands, or is still deep in development.

Maduce Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I have read reports and watched some videos (what I am saying is I am not an expert) saying that the Gazelle's flight dynamics aren't that far off from the real deal. I enjoy flying it now once I practiced a lot. It is a very light chopper and wonder what a MD500 would fly like compared to the Gazelle. Anyway, just my two cents, not necessarily disagreeing with anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, just my two cents, not necessarily disagreeing with anyone. Just to add two cents of my own, the Gazelle is fun to fly, mostly works well, and there's a whole slew of flight behaviors that I would gladly ignore because they only kick in for particular circumstances, the SCAS system working its magic, or are just ridiculous aerobatic maneuvers... But I simply can't stand...how the cyclic input and subsequent behavior is so far off from normal flight behavior, as well as that surely being knowingly developed, as well as passing ED's QA, as well as seemingly being tailored towards somehow making things easier for self-centering sticks, and apparently is so integrated into the flight model that god knows when it will ever be adressed. I don't want to fly a helicopter where every move of the cyclic teaches you bad habits because no actual helicopter flies anything like it.

kotor633 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hi@all, do you have to talk down this hackneyed topic again here in the OH-58 Announcement Post? It's been known for a long time that the Gazelle's FM needs to be improved & PC recently said that they will do that after the release of the Kiowa. We have to rely on that for now. And if you have to discuss this topic again, please do so in the Gazelle Forum ... Thx 1 ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

Sephyrius Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Sure thing, but it's not exactly cluttered when it's a forum section about an unreleased module, with zero news for an entire year, on a forum abandoned by the developers and with the last topic being 3 months old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick50 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 A team of two. This explains some things. Bell providing a high level of support. This is great news. Focused and ready to go for the big push. Out freakin standing@ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealDCSpilot Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Bell will hopefully have a big influence to transfer knowledge about how helicopters really work. But they are not just a team of two. They were a core team of three people after TheFragger left Polychop to save the Bo-105 from facing the same fate as the Gazelle module. Since then there were at least six people involved, but i don't blame anyone who wanted to leave the team again after getting some insights. This was the state around 2020, before Covid started to have an influence on any company on the planet. 1 i9 13900K @5.5GHz, Z790 Gigabyte Aorus Master, RTX4090 Waterforce, 64 GB DDR5 @5600, Pico 4, HOTAS & Rudder: all Virpil with Rhino FFB base made by VPforce, DCS: all modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick50 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Pretty much. They launched with lots of talk about "release this year" and lots of beautiful screenshots. After a year, they got a lot quieter. And the release date estimate became a lot more murky. After a while of that, with a few assurances that things were coming along nicely, then with no warning they went silent. It's been silent for a while. I'm not sure of the status of this project. But I wouldn't bet money on an eminent release. It's an open question that no one's really asking, as to whether or not the project is still alive or not. It seems that most have embraced the Hind and Apache, and are looking forward to the Bo-105 PAH. While I do think a KW would sell, that requires a product for us to buy! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they said he had recovered and things were back on course late last year, and here it is May.. I think alot of frustration is there is absolutley close to zero info. Given to the community, from something that was close to being done before one of their guys got sick. and 2 fully designed made and Issued Helos have come out, Since the Kiowa that was close to complete 2 1/2 years ago. And think thats where alot of Frustration and peeps given up on the Kiowa come from from what ive read around. Personally While nice to have all the Different variants coming out, i think some of that time and effort could have went to progressing on the Main build the 58D Warrior like mentioned. I have a small glimmer left for the 58 but We most likely wont see it till Next year at Best. I think the 105 will be out before the Kiowa. But I am Hopeful.
