Which Version Is Which (And Flyable) For Kneeboards/Skins

[DragonSoulkin]

So one of the things that's really bugging me about this rotorcraft is I've been unable to find the info or figure out which versions are which for the purpose of mission building, kneeboards, and skins. Could someone give me a breakdown please? I've got 5 variants in my kneeboards folder because I couldn't figure out which was which and how it was titled and ended up spitballing till something stuck and cannot for the life of me remember which ones it was.

@DragonSoulkin Currently there are 3 Gazelle versions that are flyable by the player
• SA342M
• SA342L
• SA342Minigun

The 4th (AI only) version - SA342Mistral is kept for backwards compatibility with older missions that used the old Mistral version as an AI opponent.
(Players can now load Mistrals on the L and there is no longer the need for a separate version ).

Here is an example of the Gazelle's kneeboard folder names that are required to have custom pages in all 3 player flyable versions.

So it's worthwhile then to still have the liveries for it but no need for the extra kneeboard file?

Correct.
