Polychop Simulations in cooperation with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics, are pleased to announce that DCS: SA342 Gazelle is now available for early access in the DCS E-Shop

The SA342 Gazelle is a light scout/attack and transport helicopter. It was introduced in 1968 as a result of cooperation between Aérospatiale and Westland Aircraft. Operated by 23 countries, the Gazelle has served in combat operations across the world including the 1991 Gulf War, 1982 Lebanon War, Syria, and other conflicts.

The Gazelle is powered by a single turbine engine that is connected to three glass-fiber reinforced plastic main rotor blades with a bearingless main rotor developed by Bölkow GmbH. It is also the first helicopter which features the famous Fenestron tail rotor.

The version featured in DCS is the anti-tank version that is armed with four HOT 3 anti-tank guided missiles. Later, free upgrades to this module will feature Gazelle versions armed with a GIAT machine gun, rocket pods, Mistral anti-aircraft missile, and sniper team in rear compartment.

Key Features of DCS: SA342 Gazelle:
•   Accurate and highly detailed six-degrees-freedom (6DOF) cockpit and external model
•   Mouse interactive cockpit with authentic systems modeling
•   Fully modeled weapon system including weapons sight and HOT 3
•   Exciting and challenging campaign
•   Interactive training missions
•   AFM (Advanced Flight Model) that simulates all flight phases and characteristics of the Gazelle
•   Inclusive flight manual
•   Gazelle skins covering many countries
Note: Today's release is only compatible with DCS World 2.0.2. Support for version 1.5.3 will be coming soon.

Very dissapointed in Price and that its only available for DCS 2.0 
And early access means buggy as hell. DCS in my eyes dosnt appeal to the masses due to how expensive the modules are.

You don't know what you are missing mate - just like flying an R22 at the local airfield.  At the beginning, it seems impossible, but with practice comes real satisfaction. It is to the Uh-1 what the Uh-1 was to the KA-50.  Renders and I are flying it in the 1.5 beta.  Best.  D

Apparently this works in the 1.5 Beta.

There are 3 versions of DCS world now. 1.5, 1.5 Beta and 2.x

Not sure I have the energy to install the 1.5 beta as I already have 1.5 release.
