DCS SA342 Gazelle - The Hovering Command Post

In this mission, I'm piloting a French Gazelle and our mission is to coordinate the establishment of a Georgian Armed Forces outpost near the Batumi Airport. Dismounted opposition is expected: insurgents armed with small arms and RPGs at OBJs Charleroi and Dinant.


After a few final words regarding coordination and other logistics, I am back to the Gazelle with the commanding officer on the copilot seat. In the background, the convoy (2 LAVs, 1 Humvee and 2 trucks transporting infantry) departs from Batumi.


Mission for today:  in order to ensure a safe transit of the convoy, clear OBJ Dinant and Charleroi. CAS is provided by a Mirage 2000C and my Gazelle, which is armed with a cannon and rockets.


Taxiing at Batumi. The Mirage 2000C is seen too near one of the runway accesses.


Flying along the convoy (on the road to the right). The relatively high altitude is because of the power lines. NOTE: the new flight model allows a better degree of control, including airspeed.


The commander asked me to make a show of force in Helvachauri. Here I am flying by an apartment complex.
