This is going to a beauty for me, as having flown in the Gazelle during my service time, the last time in 1988 was a Comp A pax on the passing of my mother who had also flown as a pax in one at RAF Shawbury.

I agree with your comments about the collective. It has more granularity which I like.

Fair play and props (lol) to Polychop for standing behind their product. The Gazelle was one of only two mods that I regretted buying, the other being the Christian Eagle. However this update changes that completely. The Gazelle no longer feels like a flighty anti-gravity scifi machine, and instead feels much much more organic and analogue. Lets face it hardly any of us will fly a real Gazelle, so it's irrelivant if it feels exactly like the real world machine, but now at least it feels more like a light weight and nimble recon helicopter, and less like a Blue Bottle house fly on a sugar rush.
I'm definately going to be spending much more time in the Gazelle now thanks to these updates

This is amazing news! We've waited a long time for Gazelle updates, particularly with that old dreadful flight model! Can't wait to try it out!

[CueDriver]

Yeah definitely have to readjust all my axis tuning for it. Only had a few minutes to try. It kept tilting over on take off. So I have some adjustments.

Really like the low speed handling of this new one. The high speed still feels a bit wonky with banking not really doing all that much, you really have to push the pedals to get it to turn. But overall a massive improvement from polychop =)

Has anyone yet figured out how to tell the periscope to forget where its looking at and just point forward? It takes ages to get it to look where I want to look at

What a time to be alive for us rotary fans... gazelle update, Chinook coming.... and user created AH1 coming❤

[andreartymiuk]

The main weapon power switch has moved down below the other weapon switches. Confused me totally until I found it 🤣

[sandman]

Epic update! It’s an entirely new module.

[danvercillo]

Much needed improvements. Can't wait to try her out ... again.

[Snipersight]

At last! Great news. I was so disappointed when I bought this module. It was my favourite as a kid.

[JD]

it seems to be a bit buggy. the mistral missiles for one arent functional. I hope this module gets some more work.

[jimhansen]

Ahhh thanks for this I haven’t used mine for years

[valuedhumanoid]

If your first helo mod was the Gazelle then you loved it. If you owned any other helo mod, like the Blackshark, Apache, Huey etc. and then flew the Gazelle, you hated it. I am the latter. It was my 4th helo mod and compared to the others it sucked ass. I haven't flown it for 8 months. I am stable version, so I will have to wait before I get the update. We shall compare, but I trust Cap's evaluation and his assessments of anything DCS is very well founded.

[MrTone]

Shame the grass just sways gently under the spinning rotor blades!
Not flown the Gazelle for months, maybe over a year, must get back on it. Thanks for the video.

[jeremyborderie]

nice she appears better now, i reinstall DCS and Gazelle but it seems i still have the last V° of the addon, there is a special procedure to update it ?

[madaxe]

Did the damage model get addressed along with the flight model? I gave up putting Gazelles into missions because of so many occurrences of them flying along just fine despite having had the entire tail assembly blown clean off by mutliple missile/cannon impacts.

[stbnthmar]

when will it come to regular dcs none open betta?
