Really quite an amazing helicopter sim. This is a lot more stable than expected. Not that it doesn’t present a challenge, it does. MP Design really did something special here. You have the option to manually control the RPMs and it works great by simply assigning a joystick the proper propeller pitch controls making it as close to realistic as FSX can get. Love the various flight aspects that are simulated like transverse effect etc. keep ya on your toes for sure. In addition the excellent flight model the visuals and sounds are top notch too. If you are looking for a realistic helicopter than this would be a great start! Just be prepared for a learning curve. It’s worth the effort.
Absolutely brilliant, for the first time in P3D I feel that i'm flying a helicopter.
Flight dynamics are a world away from any thing else i have flown and in VR with a Pimax 8K its stunning
Long time user of helicopter in fsx,this product is one of the few that describe what a chopper feels like, and what a gazelle feels like and right out of the box, no extra needed. Superb flight handling, very extensive systems and behavior, the whole custom coded by a competent and kind team (support is excellent too). The price tag is unbelievably low for this kind of product.One of the two or three chopper really worth in FSX for people who want an taste of choppers.Can't wait to see what's next!
Barely a few minutes after being in the cockpit of my newly acquired SA342 Civil Gazelle HB-XFW, I knew right away that this was a very special chopper.
Without a single doubt, those distinctive SA342 Gazelle's are certainly a few "light years" away, than any default helicopters in basic FSX or Prepar3D platforms.
So many intricate details will slowly emerge all along the pilot many hours of proud ownership.
I will let you all discover them by yourselves, for risking of spoiling all the fun and amazement.
A real testament to the dedication of the MP Design Studio staff.
Customer service was excellent, just as the software itself.
Downloading the Gazelle's program was a manual process of directing the software, to your respective simulator application on your PC.
"Vive les Gazelles!"
CYUL.
Awesome bird!
The cockpit’s vibrations in flight, terrific sounds and maneuverability at medium and full speed are extremely immersive. Delicate to fly at slow speed, it will require patience to break in and that’s also part of the charm.
Cold start procedure works fine, even if the documentation doesn’t explain how to proceed. The documentation is well illustrated but not explanatory, anyway. It’s very easy to find guides online for anyone interested in starting this model from scratch.
For an FSX helicopter and all the known problems related to helicopters’ implementation on this platform, the designer did a fantastic job with this model.
And, on a side note, his communication is excellent. I had several detail questions which I asked by mail. They were answered within an hour with joined pictures to illustrate the main points. Kudos and Bravo!
I bought this product with low expectations, but boy, was I wrong. I have all the highend, payware helicopters and not one of them does something that you guys did that makes your helicopter feel so real and immersive. You made your helicopter vibrate just like real helicopters do. The others, some that I spend around $50 for are completely still when sitting on the ground...like a photograph. Your helicopter is amazingly lifelike and that makes all the difference in the world. I have hundreds of dollars invested in FSX helicopters and my new “go to” helicopter is going to be one that’s less than $20. I wish I had found yours first.
My compliments on an amazing piece of work.
My only issue with this helicopter, and it can’t be helped being a French product, is that everything is in French.
I highly recommend this product for anyone interested in helicopters.
Hi Guys
I placed this one in P3D V4.1 and it works fine.
Got some help from the dedicated staff for sound and white reflation on front windscreen.
I can only say good things about this heli indluding flight dynamics.
Bye, David
I recommend this product to anyone who is interested in flying helicopters. It's one of the best simulations I've ever experienced. In addition, the support of the developers is outstanding, all questions are answered quickly and competently. Keep it up!
