DCS SA342 Gazelle - What if They Gave a War and Nobody Came?
Heads up! the DCS Gazelle module has a new update that you can try in its beta status at DCS World Beta 1.5.4.

Main attractions of this update: new weapons (M621 cannon and SNEB rockets) mounted on the SA342L variant. And noticeable modifications to the flight model/SAS stabilization system.
In this mission, a French Gazelle is sent to investigate reports of insurgent activity in a remote village some 35 miles northwest of the Batumi airport.

The formidable M621 cannon fires 20 mm rounds of pure destruction power.

The SNEB 68 mm rockets are also a good tactical option for area fire. Mounted on the left side station/s, these unguided rockets produce a lot of recoil when lauched.

Taxiing at Batumi. The modifications to the flight model are very extensive and the Gazelle now is possible to maintain a stable flight with relative ease.

Takeoff from the airport.

Turning is now easier. The modifications to the flight model include a revision of the SAS authority in general. That was what (allegedly) made turns so tricky in the past.

Heading towards waypoint 1. Rock solid flight.

I like to set the artificial horizon source selector to DOP (wheel below the torquemeter), which shows a line in the artificial horizon indicating the active waypoint.
