Dear all,

On Sunday, April 10 at 1100 US Pacific Time, Polychop and I plan do to a Youtube livestream of the Gazelle. Next week we plan to move the Gazelle into test, and we think this is a great time to start showing off the near-final product. In addition to me trying my hand at flying the Gazelle, the Polychop team will be on chat to answer Gazelle questions posted in this thread.

In addition to showing off the Gazelle, we will also be providing a first look at a massive texture overhaul DLC of the Caucasus map done by Starway. More information on this will be coming.

Please post your Gazelle questions here for Polychop.

Thanks,
Matt

Dear Simmers,

almost 4 weeks after the Gazelle release, we're still busy improving things on our module to give you the best
flight experiences possible. We also like to take the change to say thank you to all of you for the positive feedback
Speaking of that, we improved our FM, based on additional feedbacks of real Gazelle Combat pilots - and of course, we also fix
the issues based on your feedbacks. We also will create a video on how to create bugs effectively.

The main fixes are:

* no more skid sliding when taking off
* improved Curve behaviour
* Rudder sensitivity

and a few other things like Rudders to be assigned to the keyboard and switching off the Co-Pilot's body

SA342L:
We're on a good way to deliver you with the free add-on which features the GIAT Gun, Rocket pod, Mistral and the Sniper Team in
the rear compartment. In the last days we made some testing on the new peacemakers -> only gun and rocket. Everything is WIP

Hi Gents

The multicrew Gazelle version is on its way and will be released through some coming update.

At the moment the copilot flight controls are still WIP, but you can enjoy everything else.

We are working at getting the copilot flight controls as smooth as the pilot's ones.

Thanks, Enjoy.

EDIT : The controls will have to be re-assigned with this update, sorry for the incovenience.
The best way to do it will be to delete the Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/SA342 folder and re-assign all commands in game options screen

Rioe, Polychop team, fly in the Sa342 Gazelle as copylot, meanwhile a real Gazelle pilot, fly as pilot and test the module, all on multicrew
