Just 2 little videos to show weapons first implementation
Cannon -> http://youtu.be/NivE67V0d0M
HOT missiles --> http://youtu.be/2cBo1NzQm5o
The targeting system was not done at the moment of the videos, so the HOTs fly ballistic...
To be continued ...

Oh, Would some of you have photos of french gazelle pilots suited for flight to share, any else country will do too, soon the Gazelle will show a brand new 3D cockpit entirely remade plus HD pilot and copilot

Hi,

Weapons Step 2 : Feature for the pilot to fire gun or HOT missiles (for playability)
Feature beeing activated/Deactivated in Options screen
Gun reticle is not movable and HOT missiles are fire and forget style for the piot

Next step will be the same for the copilot + TV screen + commands + gun slaved to the target + missile guidance during its flight to the target

Of course cockpit is not representative of the final product

Nice, I hope that they'll also simulate the British Army Gazelle too. Might be tempted to pick up a Screaming Chicken Leg. :yep:

Hi gents,
At the moment, moving map, Pilot gun sight and more things are beeing coded, it's a long way and I thank you all for your support. The 3D pilots are on the way too, pics as soon as possible.

Hello gents,
The cockpit and the external model are completely being re-textured at the moment (still WIP), but no view at the moment.
If you appreciate the BO-105 cockpit, you will appreciate the gazelle cockpit too, thanks Oliver.
A lot of things have been improved or changed, among them, rotor blades animations have been re-made with bones (for the technicians), rotor head animations are now like the real helicopter, a moving map has been added to the "copilot" position.
This vid was made at the first step of the moving map coding

Thanks for your support.

Hello Gents,
A small update to show you the first step of Viviane sighting system.
It will be able to launch and control missiles next week if everything goes right
I'll have to code an autopilot auto-hover to enable the pilot to aim.

Hello gents,
The Gazelle is now able to launch missiles and guide them manually to the target.
For video purposes, the FM has been switched off, unrealistic perfect auto-hover
The autopilot is still to do, I planned an auto-hover option and a moving flight option (maintain the current flight)

Polychop Sa342 Gazelle module data:

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?...61&postcount=1

The module simulates the Airbus Helicopter SA-342M Gazelle Viviane HOT for DCS World.
Systems and Flight model.

All systems and the flight model have been simulated from available data in the manuals and tuned to fit real pilots and technicians feedbacks.

Rotor System
Normal flight phases and autorotation are simulated.
The OA209 airfoil has been taken as a reference and then tweaked to fit the real blades lift and drag. Lift and drag coefficients of the OA209 airfoil have been recorded from a wind tunnel simulation. Then the rotor lift and drag are calculated in real time in game.
Blades flapping is simulated regarding the real time flight parameters.
Rotor Rpm fits the charts when in autorotation.

Fuel System
The fuel system follows the available charts from the manuals.
Fuel consumption is calculated depending on aerodynamics (external loads),
weight, atmosphere density, temperature and altitude, flight phase ...

Flight model
All flight phases are simulated : Hover, Linear flight, turns, autorotation
Vortex effect during hovering is functional.
Ground effect is functional.

Navigation System
All real Gazelle navigation devices are simulated : NADIR, ADF Radio, ADF/Sight/NADIR gauge (horizontal situation, ADF and waypoint indications)

Radio communication system
The AM radio and the Intercom are simulated
The FM radio (PR4G) is also simulated with custom datas and procedures due to its classified aspect.

Sounds
Sounds of the cockpit have been extracted from original videos recorded by a Gazelle technician. Sounds of the Turbine and the rotor are original as well.

Weapons
This gazelle simulation features the HOT3 missile and the needed devices to fire it.
Video display : The TV displays a moving map and the Viviane sight datas
Video command : The Video command allows to use the moving map or to display
the Viviane sight datas.
HOT missile console : it allows to make the missiles up to fire and is linked to the Video command console.
Viviane (APX 397) sighting device : external camera linked to the weapon system.
HOT3 missile : wire guided missile, the user has to guide the missile manually to the target until the impact.

Warning Receiver
The warning receiver system is simulated through the sensors and a display (DRAXX 33)
The real symbology is not used due to its classified aspect, a custom symbology is used instead.

Flare dispenser
The Flaredispenser system includes the Flaredispenser cockpit command (MATRA B0) and the external launcher.

Lights system
Cockpit lights and external navigation/anti-collision lights are simulated.

Damage system
The damage system is simulated and includes external visual damages
(rotor and blades, fuselage, main cockpit glass...)
The effects of the damages are taken in count and change the flight conditions
(aerodynamics, lift, speed ...)
All systems include the damage effects too (electric, fuel, engine ...)

Multi-Crew
The player can swap from the pilot position to the board commander position.
Missiles can be fired only from the board commander position.

Performances
Maximum speed during linear flight fits the charts.
Ceiling fits the charts.
Maximum vertical velocity fits the charts.

The start-up procedure follows the pilot manual.

Autopilot
More than a real Autopilot, the Gazelle features a SAS (Stability Augmentation System)
This feature is simulated as well in the module, and follows the real functions.

Lights
All available lights systems from the real model have been simulated, including navigation lights, formation lights, strobe light, extend-able landing light.
The cockpit features instruments internal light, UV light and a roof lamp with a move-able red lens so you can have a white or a red light.

All this is subject to change and will be updated in time.

New pilot update of the Sa342 Gazelle

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?...82&postcount=5

Hi guys.

Here is a little update of the pilot. The last 2 days I worked on the facial texture. I think right now I have hit the right color tone and placed the first basic color blocking of the helmet.

Next step, details on the helmet and at last the mic.

After that is done I will add some ageing and scratches to the objects.
In basic you see there the internal view, which will be used for the external too, so the textures will stay the same and only be reduced in scale so it does not hit the gpu to much.

cheers
Sven
