This is going to be a lot of fun revisiting the Gazelle.  I'm so looking forward to creating missions for it and flying the hell out of it.  Great job PolyChop!

The key for a successful takeoff is to put the cyclic in the correct position before you apply collective. When you bring up the controls overlay, the cyclic should be a cm or so down and to the left.

Very happy for the effort you have put in on this, I watched CasmoTV's update video and can not wait to try it in VR. I also hope you guys in putting this out shortly will also be close to a release of the Kiowa as well!! I always will support small third party developers and wish you guys the very best - Code On!!!

Yes, of course it was tested in VR. Stop worrying, you'll like it, it becomes very natural to use.

One question - in Casmo's video it sounded like there is no button to use the new optical sight, like for instance in the Hind. In VR or using TrackIR it is easy enough to lean forward. Does this mean we have to move the cockpit camera to use it in 2D? Is there a button like in the Hind planned for the future maybe?
Thanks.

I'm eager to give this a try.  I always liked the Gazelle, despite it's quirks.  This should bring it up to the expected standards though, and bodes well for the future Kiowa.

Thanks.

You can always save individual snapviews and bind them to any button or key.

You don't need to move, it'll be right in front of you. You can bind a key to stow/deploy the periscope, that's all you'll need to shift view.

Trying out the open beta:

- There is a pretty strong "pendulum" effect still - is this accurate to the actual aircraft? Has anyone here actually flown a Gazelle? Something about it feels a bit unnatural to me.

- Is the tail-rotor really that sensitive?

Yeah and some one forgot a strap buckle or something haging in mid air infront of the cyclic.

 

Also the vivian freezes during panning and you have to reset the axis to zero. Talking about resetting axies to zero, the center position trimmer acts like the instant trim in 50% of the cases

Woah! Just got done a flight. It now feels great to fly. Lots of character and physical forces at play. It is not on rails at all now, this thing is great! Thank you for a revisit of this module!

I really like the ability to clean up the cockpit (removing sights, removing the tablet)... helps create a civilianised feel - even if a lot of the avionics are there for weapon controls, I can feel like I'm flying liaison in peacetime at least. Nice to have that more peaceful experience along with a clearer view of the ground/forward.

Really not getting on with the new Gazelle FM, it oscillates wildly trying to self-correct when turning/banking, Im finding it almost impossible to take off with reduced weight, it feels like one of the poor msfs helicopters 😞

I can't believe it's actually flyable now!

There are still some weird quirks, like it's still a little touchy in hover, but overall amazing update!

Great Job!

Thank you PC!
Even if I won't be able to try it out for a couple of weeks, it seems that majority of the user responses are positive.
But could you elaborate a little on the trimming, as I'm a little worried about how it works for FFB.

Cheers!

The new FM is finally worth it moniker 🙂 - I'm really enjoying while exploring Tel Aviv's waterfront. 

I'm being tuned off by the nav pad. That by itself is terrific. The reflections on it in VR are atrocious, though, and need to be turned down. This is because the reflecting sky is using a small skybox, and since the eyes have different locations, the reflection has artificial 'depth' that causes headache, and makes reading the pad almost impossible.
