DCS SA342 Gazelle Project

[Griffin]

How does NOTAR utilize the Coanda effect?

 

According to Wiki, it does. Other Google results say the same. :) Or doesn't it? I remember reading that gyroscopic precession is actually not effecting helicopter main rotor but the similar effects are purely aerodynamical.

 

 

I'm really interested to see how this comes along. AFM is definately the key word here and if you get sucked into this full time, don't hesitate to make it payware to achieve best quality. ;)

chinavrf, can you please upload your model or give a link to download, thanks

[joey45]

GIVE THAT TEMPLATE...............NOW!!!!!! :D:)

 

Very nice. How does it fly*???:joystick:

 

*As in the Flight Model..

Hello Sir,

 

It looks very, very nice :D, Fantastic work. My dad owns a Gazelle Helicopter and i have a copy of every manual for the 342/321 in English and French which one do you require?. Thinking about it also, I'm sure we can provide you with any pictures you need and part numbers etc.

 

Regards

Michael

Interesting, i thought that was purely based on blowback from the expelled air.

Instrument panel is pretty ugly, and some instruments are not accurate. Collective stick does not look like this. In fact, the instrument panel looks like this

OP didn't post any pictures of his project, some guy from China uploaded pics of what they did but never elaborated on it, there is other thread by chinavrf with the same pictures and no word on what it is etc, this pics don't belong in this particular project thread

@heliguy

Thanks, I already have all the needed docs i think. I surely ask for more if needed.

 

@chinavrf

I can't understand (or I better think it's purely without any bad intention) why you posted here. The best would have been to open a new thread as you did after...

 

I'm working on the 3D external model at the moment and it will look rather than the following.

Glad to see see some solid progress in these last 7 pages of unrequited hype! (No offense of course, people will go crazy over any announcement of a project!) Model looks good.

Yes, it looks nice Pat :thumbup:

looking great

Sunday evening point before going to bed.

Here are some pics of the Gazelle in game.

Everything still in progress, lights aren't completely done.

diveplane sent me real Gazelle sound files, the bird sings nicely now.

[NC_Cyborg]

That looks awesome! Great work guys!

[Emmer]

W0W!

[Ells228]

Looking great guys

Pat01,

 

The airbase nearby my house was open to public last weekend. Took some pictures of the Gazelle thinking of your project. Here are some of them in low res. MP me if you are interested in getting the whole in HD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck.

[Pat01]

Thanks, the external model is almost finished, I'm working on the pilot now.

[Pat01]

Small update.

Here are two shots of the external cockpit from the modelviewer, the chopper like we'll never see in game.

[Pat01]

Same details in game full zoomed.

What does that mean (in bold letters)? Do you plan to do a clickable cockpit?

Nothing to do with the 3D clickable cokpit. I forgot the shortcuts to change the view focals. I'll use them in the next shots.

 

The clickable cockpit is mandatory and will be done.

:thumbup:

Any plans yet about the flight model? Yes, it`s way to early but one can ask...:)

[Pat01]

Could someone help me about fuel consumption and gaz exhausts (helicopter) : How to change ?

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT : Some explanation about the following numbers and variables could be great too.

 

engine_data =

{

power_take_off = 1618,

power_max = 1618,

power_WEP = 1618,

power_TH_k =

{

[1] = {0, -230.8, 2245.6},

[2] = {0, -230.8, 2245.6},

[3] = {0, -325.4, 2628.9},

[4] = {0, -235.6, 1931.9},

}, -- end of power_TH_k

SFC_k = {2.045e-007, -0.0006328, 0.803},

power_RPM_k = {-0.08639, 0.24277, 0.84175},

power_RPM_min = 9.1384,

sound_name = "Aircrafts/Engines/SA342Engine",

}, -- end of engine_data

gas exhausts u mean the graphic visual?

 

thats in a seperate LUA

 

helicopter_exhaust.LUA , = location DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common

 

just add the new model lines in there .
