SOKO MOSTAR GAZELA - GAZELLE-SA342 FSX P3D

It's not too bad but without any decent manual included it's a beast to try and learn to fly. Some instruction would have been nice.

Very nice heli both for fsx and p3d. The sound package is very well done. Congratulations to the developer!

I really like this helicopter and think MP Design Studios has done a great job. The detail in the cockpit and exterior is extraordinary and instruments and panels are clear and easy to read. The documentation does a perfect job of explaining everything in English, as this is a Yugoslavian produced helicopter and instrumentation is therefore not in English. I didn’t find that a problem at all. The flight model feels great and a little more “alive” than the typical FSX helicopter - you definitely have to use the rudder and be awake at the controls, but it handles very well and predictably. There is a nice effect coming in to land or when maneuvering hard, the instrument panel and parts of the cockpit shake a little. There is also a nice low-visibility exhaust smoke effect when viewed from the outside. The sounds are fantastic and both inside and outside it sounds just like the real thing. There is perhaps only one small criticism I have and that is the texturing, which looks a little dated and probably stems from the model having FS2004 roots. It is just shy of looking real and in the cockpit there are some angular bits in the frame. But apart from that, this is a really nice helicopter and I would give it 4-1/2 stars if that was possible. I hope to see more helicopters from MP Design Studios.
