ED, we need help as this module have been abondonned by Polychop

Hi ED,

There is an issue with one of your 3rd party.

As you may know, Polychop's Dev team have all quit the company leaving only the CEO.
For some time now the CEO is not even answering on his discord and there is more and more unresolved bugs on the SA342 Gazelle and some on the OH58D Kiowa. 

The bugs vary from missing textures (on dipole antenna), wrong axis, keybindings issues, multicrew desynch and bugs, kneebord mixed up  and more.
Those bugs were reported from month or years, but nothing is done...

For example here is some non revolved bugs :

Of course there is more bugs than those mentionned here, it's just to show that some bugs are here since years ago.

 

Now, what can ED do ?

Well 3rd party have to maintain their products (which is not the case for Polychop Simulation).
I expect mesures to be taken by ED toward Polychop to remedy this bad situation

 

If this is not enough, maybe the Gazelle IP could end up in someone else hands, someone who will actually take care about this module, either ED or an other 3rd party.

Thank you,

Peet

Im sad that the healthy of a module comes down to community trying to petition to keep a module healthy.

I agree with @peeter!

Im not sure ED has source code..but I hope there will be fixes for this great module and modules 

Long live gazelle!
