You have no idea...wait until you see some of the other shots...cockpit detail, framework, "under the skin" types of details etc.

It's just amazing.

 

 

Oh lord! This does not make the wait easier, you know? ?

I’ve never managed to tame the gazelle, it’s like flying a radio control helicopter on steroids. Huey? Fine. Mi8? Fine. Gazelle? Not even close to being in control.

If they've finally managed to give the Gazelle a plausible FM I'll be happy.

 

 

 

 

 

If....

I skipped the Gazelle because of the FM, but I’m definitely going to take another look.  I also have heard it has very bad multi-crew integration, or is that a thing of the past?  In any case, it seems like these days, there is something for everyone to be happy about or to look forward to (even you, lol!)

 

Still think the Mi-8 is my favorite all time copter in DCS so far, and think it would be awesome if they gave it a facelift, including multi crew.

You are right. It can do it all and require some skills to handle. And above else your attention. Mi 8 always been my favorite

With the new patch gazelle Get a lot of attention. New weapon layout totally new fm new aiming system. 
my setup is made for choppers. To me gazelle is a very responsive chopper I have a lot of fun with. With no tweaks on stick. 
But I find it a bit odd flying straight and level. 
Reviews say we have a treat

Have not tried it. But videos say trim is important. You can trim it to hover

And sightseeing in the evening light with the correct skin:

Sinai looks gorgeous in all the pictures and videos and I will get it when the stable version (no early acces for me) will run it. For now I dont't have the time anyway (stumbling towards vacation^^)

As the MiG-17 is now on the horizon, here's a little video that I hadn't seen before... MiG-17's vs F-105's.

Thank you for publishing the Sinai map. The level of quality is great and I like the map a lot.

Of course, this question is rhetorical, because we probably won't get a clear answer ?. But I suggest as another idea for next map:
Vietnam or the Balkans.

we are already negotiating, doing the terms of reference, we even have the first shots where I was able to fly. But until the contract is signed, I cannot say what it will be. But I will say one thing:
- this map has long been requested by the users
- and this is definitely not a desert map (enough, we ate enough sand during development ?)

IRL all the 105’s did was push the power up. Like a Lambo pulling away from a Abarth.

 

 

A pilot on the FFP talks about MiG’s rolling in just 3 miles behind them. They just added power and even with missiles the MiGs just didn’t have the kinetics.

There is no doubt that the F-105 had a better kill to loss rate than the MiG-17, yet the MiG's  did shoot Thud's down.

Another thing to remember is that the early MiG-17 didn't have an afterburner... (later versions did, the MiG-17F, I believe that we will be getting in DCS and was the most numerous version produced if I remember right).

Yep. "F" like in "Forsasch" (too lazy to load up cyrillic), in this context russian for "afterburner" or "reheat".

No doubt - they just had to catch the Thuds unawares or roll in close enough. 

I’m a fan of the MiGs..:always thought they were neat planes.
