Pat01 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited October 7, 2019 by Polychop Simulations update 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboHog Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I don't have any info now but I will be on the lookout! A DCS helicopter YEAH! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: My first find: http://www.aircraft-manuals.com/sudavscsasa3.html Problem is that you have to buy it. And it's French...

joey45 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Will defo keep an eye on this.... Any chance of a UK recce/C&C version..? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Suchacz Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe this can be useful - http://thefree3dmodels.com/stuff/aircraft/sa342_gazelle/15-1-0-2133 It's great, that somebody is going to make a helicopter!!! All those fixed wings are a little bit boring for me :smilewink: Per aspera ad astra!

Pat01 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 The Gazelle free 3D models I aleady looked at have been built for rendering purposes I guess and are not suitable for games (170,000 - 200,000 polys). Plus I don't feel free to use someone else work even it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devrim Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That is my favourite machine from Search And Rescue. I love its shape. :) Anyway; I can't really tell how I'm pleased about this project. Of course we love Ka-50. But it's time to see a new helicopter in DCS. Here's a blueprint. I know you've already got better. But it's just a useless contribution to explain my happiness. :D By the way; with this helicopter, I remember Blue Thunder movie. :) Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 Super SuprimX | Corsair V. 32GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | Saitek X-55 Rhino & Rudder | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jona33 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 No, that's just running your mouth on the radio. All you are is squishy. Gotta be able to bite back. Fair enough, usually has the same result for the enemy. :D I think we will be getting the attack gazelle. Always remember.
