No more "features"...

...before You fix the flawed flight model!

Fredo,

We all appreciate your efforts to help improving this module, but there's no need to advertise your post everywhere on this forum. You are arriving too late after the "flawed FM war" heated discussions (search for them) and there is nothing really new in your report. We got dozens of real life pilots that teared themselves apart on the matter for a long time. Pilots know the FM is far from perfect and devs are working on it. If you are new to DCS (I suppose, based on your profile) you'll learn that extreme patience is mandatory.

I can be very patient IF errors are acknowledged by the developers and they commit themselves to fix them...

There are a lot of things to fix, but this is the Features-Thread, not the Bugreport-Thread.

Soooo, we haven't seen any fixes/updates on the Gazelle for some patches now. Anything coming up? Is the sniper work progressing?

Thanks.

They are hard at work I guess.

I remember it being very similar when the Huey was released.

Has there anything mentioned whether the devs entertain the idea of adding sling loading to the Gazelle via another info channel i might have missed? Sure would be the sweetest thing, even if it can carry only very light stuff. Notheless, it would open so many gameplay routes.

+1 for sling loads

Also would love NVG to work on all variants

Neither sling load, nor NVG for all variants planned.

What about the new raindrop feature coming with the Hornet. This module would look amazing with it.

When the code is complete it'll be given to 3rd parties.

From what I've read.

Ah well thats is a shame, so we will have to edit the config file ourselves to enable NVG for all variants then, bit of a shame you guys cannot do that

What exactly is the problem with allowing the NVG in all variants?

You seem fairly resistant to what would seem to be a trivial change. It would enhance QOL and enjoyment for many players, especially those who are unfamiliar with LUA editing.

Thanks for the link. Seen it already. It's irrelevant. They've taken of artistic license elsewhere in the module so why not with NVG.

We have many servers with night missions and all 3 Gazelles. Players want to fly them, but they cannot unless they're confident editing their files.

So the 'real life' argument is just dodging the issue. This isn't real life. It's a video game.

No is not.

Is a simulator.

Use a mod if you are not happy with RL restrictions? Everyone piloting a sim heli should be able to copy/paste some files but no need to integrate it into the module.

There's a scoreboard and people are (generally) having fun. So it's a game. :thumbup:

In other threads discussing this you'd see that in fact some people don't feel confident editing files.

Anyway I don't want to get into a pointless argument with you. The question I'm asking is directed at the developer, not you. Cheers though.

You can have fun flying a simulation that represents real systems of a real helicopter.

The Gazelle doesnt have NVG, so the simulation is correct.

Hellfires are super fun also but the Gazelle doesnt have those.

You're completely missing the point, but that's ok. There's plenty to enjoy with this module, I was just asking for a slight improvement to help with what is actually occurring in game, regardless of real life.

Anyway, as I said, my question was for the developer, whom you do not represent, so I'll just leave it at that. Cheers.

I represent myself. Only. And i have an oppinion also, like you. Can i express mine?

If you want NVG in the Gazelle use a mod, is easy, but dont ask developers for something that doesnt exist.

Mods are fun.

One of the variants has NVG, the others do not, I would prefer if the dev would give

us a decent reason for why they are resistant to doing this

Is not so hard to make it work.

Interesting, though IRL a pilot could indeed himself put on a pair of NVG's onto his helmet anyway ?

I like others have posted on this very thread would like NVG for all variants,

there is nothing to stop people who want moar realism from ......

not using them by not pressing the NVG button when flying at night

That would be a simple way to keep both parties satisfied
