YoYo Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 @Polychop Simulations any news about it? Those "old" screenies was from beginning of 2022 so its a time to release it! 2 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 505 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 This got me excited when I saw the photos on the road map today! Love this helo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotor633 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Nice, but the adapted FM would be more important in my opinion. Unfortunately, it was made dependent on the Kiowa... 6 1 ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

Schmidtfire Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Maybe a bit late request, but would it be possible to optionally remove the sighting unit and tv-monitor/pedestal on the upcoming modular 342L? The 342 Minigun version has excellent forward view and I think most of us that fly L or Mistral versions don’t ever use the co-pilot sighting unit.

Or alternatively - being able to remove the minigun from the minigun variant... Basically any opportunity to fly more in variants with an almost perfect forward view (e.g. no doors, no sighting tv/pedestal)! That is my big desire (other than a FM rework). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looking closely inside the cockpit, it seems that the gunner/co-pilot is looking through the previously missing periscope. At first I thought it was the NVG’s, but now Im pretty sure it isn’t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, AFAIK it's planned to model the L with APX 334 Athos gyrostabilized binoculars (2x levels of magnification and no laser range finder) i.e. the L cockpit will lose the Viviane "TV". The "binocular" view may be "similar" to this Ferranti ? sight from Episode 6 of "Flying Soldiers" (a 1997 UK documentary). https://youtu.be/X-ap3xTgJjk?t=923 AFAIK work on the L's Athos sight is still at an early stage and subject to change.

Schmidtfire Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Sounds great. The periscope will be a very welcome addition. Not many countries use the Viviane sight. Also good for a ”Cold War” environment. In fact it is also used on the M variants together with the Viviane system. But I don’t know the details on that integration. Here is a video of periscope+ Viviane sight in action: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3ntry Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 With all these updates coming to the Gazelle, will there also be an update for the Gazelle Paintkit (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1925303/) to make it a bit more user friendly and add the new weapons? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kotor633 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Personally, I am currently more happy about this than about a new map or a new module! Considering how long the Gazelle has been in DCS & how long we've waited for these updates...Let's hope it won't be too long before we can enjoy the 'new' Gazelle. And thanks to Polychop. 3 ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

NeedzWD40 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 This update is looking very nice! I'm especially happy that the weapons will be rolled into one variant now. Looks like I can stop adding caveats to prospective Gazelle buyers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
