DCS SA342 Gazelle Project

[borchi_2b]

Hi, simple answer to your question is, that we have not made a decision about a civil version yet.

We will decide as soon the Viviane Hot is published.

There will probably follow an update later too which might expand the model itself. But again, no choice is made yet.

Further info around christmas I guess.

 

cheers

I was disappointed to see that the gazelle was not added to the ME nor was the gazelle AI model added in this hotfix. I assume the gazelle can not be released until these are added in a future update? :(

I would guess that the Gazelle wont be available anytime soon (soon being a month or so)

[Eflemmen]

what flight model will it have?

[Paradox]

what flight model will it have?

 

I don't think helicopters even work in DCS without a very advanced flight model.

 

It should be excellent based on what I've seen.

There is no helicopter SFM, so it is an AFM.

My understanding is that this will be a payware title correct? Might want to edit the original post because it still mentions it will be freeware. Might confuse newcomers.

Apparently you haven't read the entire post, because it has been edited already and clearly says that:

 

Hello,

 

As suggested by Wags, here's my call for help.

 

The french attack helicopter SA342 Gazelle project is planned to stay "freeware" and is on the way.

I need every document you may provide (drawings with measurements would be cool, pilot manual, everything could help...)

Concerning DCS specific 3D design, evrything concerning files structures, collision model, etc...

The max info I get the best it will be.

 

I already got blueprints (hard to use as usual because of the distorted pictures), lots of walkaround photos, datas from "Armee de terre" site, some published docs, and some info from the ED Wiki and from here.

 

If you have any specific Gazelle doc, please share.

 

At the moment, I'm mostly working on the DCS mod install with dummy model. The main lod 3D Design is in the works too.

 

As soon as I have something to show it will be here.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT 26/07/2015

Dear Simmers,

 

Since its first stages of developpement the module was planned to be free.

Things have changed now.

The Polychop-Simulations team has been working hard at the module for 2 years now (3 years total for the module today) to bring it at the DCS standards, 3rd party status, licences costs etc ... all this makes it impossible now to release it free.

So, the DCS Gazelle module will NOT be free.

Dear Simmers,

 

here we have some in-game shots of our test flight today.

[Rogue Trooper]

It really is looking good guys.

[Toxic]

Looking great! :) I cannot wait to fly it

[HOKUM52]

so excited

[Jorik]

Looking amazing!

[hannibal]

wooowooowoowoowowo

 

i am also excited for this.

i can't imagine the VR experience with this...

back in the oculus rift development version 1 days, i tried a demo called "heli hell"..

the graphics were pixellated, but the 3d-ness was amazing!

in heli-hell, the game puts you in a little bird type helicopter- i could have spent hours to look at the ceiling of the canopy, just to look at the main rotor blade, that was one of the most impressive thing i saw in early days of VR..

 

i cant wait to fly gazelle in VR!!!!!!!!!!!

[Derk]

Truely a labour of love, she shows it. And that's just the outside!

 

I am already grateful for all tthe time and effort you put into her, looking forward to meeting her in pixel-person.

[sorcer3r]

Can't wait. Seems to be a great module quality! :thumbup:

 

 

Btw. will the "recce trigger" also work in MP missions?

[rrohde]

So, when can we preorder this module?

[iFoxRomeo]

Dear Simmers,

 

here we have some in-game shots of our test flight today.

 

Oh, that slip indicator... that revives memories....

Does the slip indicator work?

 

Hope for a release in the near future!

[SilentGun]

Just simply amazing! :thumbup:

[enigma6584]

Looks beautiful! My wallet is ready.

:thumbup:

[hannibal]

sooo looking forward to oculus rift with DCS GAZELLE!

 

although its not a MD-530 or a AH-6, im glad that polychop picked a bubble canopy type helicopter..

 

bubble type heli VR..

 

just to give you guys an idea this is a video of HELI-HELL btw (NOT DCS gazelle)
