Strange. Even on hot starts? And the button itself is working and bound to the correct command. No modifier? Maybe repair DCS or try it with a fresh layout.
@@nazradu Yep!! Even on hot start, in the control command menu, the only command that gets highlighted when I press on my hat switch is the nose up command. Still very flyable, just wished the trim would work, easier to make fine adjustment. Thanks for taking the time
@@marcquintin7855 Oh you got it wrong! This thing has a hat switch trimmer that works like in airplane PLUS the regular force trim wich is another button!
Nice. It's a very similar trim setting as in the Hind as I remember. How do you find the Gaz. there's still this general distrust towards the module ... Which prevented me from buying it even under the last sale ... 🎉🎉🎉
In terms of flight model it's a totaly different story compared to a year ago. It's no longer a drone on rails and very satisfying to fly. They even moddeled traverse flow effect witch most DCS helos do not. But it has to be said, that it runs a bit in the special interest department. There is little use for the scout role in DCS. But it is very cool to sneak behind enemy lines and take out that SAM with your Hot-3 missiles.
What I learned after intensive testing, is that to get the chopper in a autohover, and then not responding all too much anymore, so one can concentrate on copilot, is TO ADD ENOUGH DEADZONE. In rudder as well as throttle mainly. This because the trim is above auto hover mode. so input from rudder or collective, the chopper either turns or decends/rises. It would help if this chopper had a working trim. (Like in other choppers I mean) And a working keep altitude autopilot. I cannot understand that they do not change that inputs have authority over autopilot. OK, one has to be in certain limits to enable it. But once activated it should stay where it is. My experience is that adding deadzones to throttle and rudder, so there is fewer chance of input while in autopilot helped alot. Just saying. Also a very annoying bug is that one has lined up the chopper, one has activated everything. Shoot a missile or two. And DANG! The chopper goes haywire. OK, go back to pilot, stabilize it. But returning to copilot, whatever you do, (yes, you can still shoot when you direct the chopper yourself. ) But the slave to function is gone. What causes the chopper to go berserk beats me. this is such a noce module. But too many buttons do not work as they should (or do not work at all). And settings for pilot, copilot and gunner? Couldn't they make basics that copy/paste. And then a section "for this person only"? One literally looses 1 to 2 days only configuring and testing all settings. (Oh yes, I forgot to change this or that in the second one...) But, after lot of practice for couple of days, it is real joy to try to master and fly. So flying and weapons are done. Now let's go nav, radio, ... In a week or two we might even try a MP server if they're around for this one...
Hello, i have a tiny question about the trim. First of all thank you its a game changer to hover (i really dont like the auto hover the gazelle offers and prefer to do it on my own) My question is, when i fly with the sa342L loaded with hot3 (or smth like this) i cannot use my trim button, even tho its assign to only this action, it simply doesnt work. but it does work when i fly without weapon (for exemple in the "improve your piloting skills instant action"). Is there something im missing or am i just dumb and the problem comes from me? I hope anyone can help if you understood my problem :) Thx
How do you set the trim. I have been using the torque. Is it setting- trim off on, trimmer, trimmer reset. I have the panel showing control. But not sure what command is needed to lock the trim. Also using a twist stick. I don't think that is a good idea at all too!
How do you enable the UI For the trim i can't fugue out how to make it show up and what settings to change trim i looked for 1+ hour today on how and i am lost
I try this, no mater how careful I am, as soon as it starts to tilt right, it goes right, even if I correct with cyclic left, or if I pull really hard left, then it just tilts right
@@Gunfreak19 I think with the FM update I did not set any. Just 100 % linear all axis. Maybe a repair of DCS to make sure everything is as it should be🙈
@nazradu I think it's just throwing me off how extremely sensitive it is vs Huey or Apache. In the gazelle you have to fly it like you're air to air refueling a F16. Tiny tiny movement.
Hello ! I feel comfortable with this helicopter, but sometimes I have moments, especially after exiting a sharp turn, when it begins to uncontrollably sway left and right and all attempts to calm it end in disaster. Maybe you have any thoughts about this and have you ever had such moments?
Well at least I have very rare moments where I can't catch it and its realy hard to tell without seeing it. My guess would be that ether roll angle is too high or you are pulling to many G's and making the turn too tight. Can you tell me the speed, torque percentige and if left or right hand turn?
@@KOLUCHIY25 I suspect it's most likely that you're entering a low speed under transition (under 15kts IAS) and having the fenestron stall out. It can be quite abrupt and if you have any kind of cross wind inducing weathercocking effects it could be very hard to control.
@@nazradu I sorted out the roll imbalance. In my settings I had trim with return to center, I did the flight trim and everything returned to normal. Thank you for participating.
@@nezuminezuminezumi7266 No, this is a little different and I have already found a solution by adjusting the trimmers. Thank you for your participation, your information is also important to me.
I cant thank you enough for this.. was having fits with the gazelle.. you improved my life big time :)
Nice! Hope you can enjoy it more now.
Thanks. An easy and effective way that helped a lot.
Great video, well explained. One problem I have, my trimmer does not work, what am I missing
If you do cold start I'd say the magnetic brake switch. First switch above your engine RPM gauge
@@nazradu Thanks for the reply, it did not work, I also noticed that my trim is not working except for trim nose up

@@nazradu thanks a bunch, I'll get it over the next sale then 😃
@@robadzso I'd say use the free trial program now and check wether you like it or not. Christmas is around the corner and so is the next sale ;)
It’s Blue Thunder. I like the engine whine. I can actually hover it better from the external view.
@@doifeellucky Almost. Blue Thunder was an SA341. Fun fact, McGuyver was flown with BT in the first McGuyver episode XD

Is that a hot start vs cold start comparison? Cause sometimes people forget to turn on the giros (upper left box) an then the auto hover won't work.
@@nazradu ok that was the problem thanks. i did turn the giro on but without the button "MAGN BRK" so I guess it was this. thank you for your help
Fly the takeoff on the torque meter. That makes total sense.
How do you set the trim. I have been using the torque. Is it setting- trim off on, trimmer, trimmer reset. I have the panel showing control. But not sure what command is needed to lock the trim. Also using a twist stick. I don't think that is a good idea at all too!
With the force trim button. Twist stick might not be ideal, but a matter of practice maybe.
@@nazradu Thank you. I have learned alot from you!
Do you have a video about the auto hover hold? Before the flt model update I could get it set but now I can seem to get it to hold.
Hi, the feature is work in progress and does not work that well. As of now just trim the helicopter into a hover state.
It was updated unannounced in the last patch - still not "finished" but almost there and works well, esp in ground effect hover
@@nazradu
IRL you need two people to fly it so just wait for Petrovich-type AI or get a friend to help you
Btw I have a video about it now
How do you enable the UI For the trim i can't fugue out how to make it show up and what settings to change trim i looked for 1+ hour today on how and i am lost
Out of my head Right Ctrl + Enter
Best thing about flying the Gazelle in DCS is that if you smash it, you can reset...
Wait you cant reset normally?
I try this, no mater how careful I am, as soon as it starts to tilt right, it goes right, even if I correct with cyclic left, or if I pull really hard left, then it just tilts right
Sure your curves are alright?
@nazradu I have no curves. I used FFB stick. With about 5 cm extender.
What curves do recommend?
@@Gunfreak19 I think with the FM update I did not set any. Just 100 % linear all axis. Maybe a repair of DCS to make sure everything is as it should be🙈

I think I saw a gazelle player carrying and deploying manpad guys around in 4YA PVP server. Any idea how or even thats possible?
With a script called CTLD. You can pick up troops or logistic stuff via F10 menue under coms
Oh nice thanks@@nazradu
Awesome...
Imi bag... In el :)))
