In this video I show you how to use the auto hover feature of the SA342 Gazelle helicopter.

Le m'initient en altitude est extrêmement violent lorsqu'il se désengage sur la véritable gazelle, ce n'est pas violant du tout. Cependant, lorsque tu passes en stationnaire et mode esclave, c'est par petites corrections que la machine s'aligne...normalement bien sur...

Great man thank you. I’ll check out the gazelle soon as well. Great and easy to follow! I’ll recommend your channel in the future.

Thanks man! Always nice to hear that. The Gazelle is a nice little bird and a bit special. It doesnt have the firepower of the Hind or Apache but makes a great forward air controller, scout or sniper.

It is a very good time to get her out the hangar. The changes they made are for the better in almost every aspect. While the auto hover is not as conevnient as the old version it's more like the real thing now.

Thanks for this! Couldn't figure out quite why the heli tries to nose into the ground when you deactivate the autohover, but seems it's just a 'quirk'!

Post 22 Feb update: I think auto hover when active (CVS green) over compensates in trying to maintain position and self induces oscillation. You can seen the CVS and ALV lights go funky between green and amber. It eventually oscillates the aircraft out of hover criteria. Coupled with auto slave that is also WIP and you could find the Gazelle upside down. Probably better off not using these modes for the time being as they are more unreliable than performing a manual hover and heading alignment. Also, the stick’s autopilot button is a toggle that is required to put the auto hover and auto slave in a ‘ready’ state to go green from amber whenever within auto hover criteria. (AP altitude and AP speed are not working as far as I can tell.)

I do prefer manual hover too and don't mind a bit of drift. It can help to not get sniped by tanks.

relearning the gazelle again, FM is okay. But the Autohover is too unstable in times for me. Seems like i was the only person in Dcs who liked the old " version" better. at least you could equalize the natural flaws of the hot3 missle (short range) by predictible controlling the aircraft in flight and hover , allmost every time .which made it easier to get close to something like a strela or a thor unit.

Honestly to the time of making the video I did not even use it a lot for two reasons. First is, that you can trim her into an almost perfect hover, second is that I prefere running engagements over hover engagements.

Thanks for a good video. Unfortunately for me I'm not able to get the autohover to activate even when I'm perfectly still in the air (constant altitude and the cross on the AI is in the midle). The light comes on, but it's yellow, not green. Any tip on what could be missing? I have switched on the 3 bottom switches as well.

Mh without seeing what you do it's just going through the checklist. You say you have artificial horizon knob to DOP and a perfect cross: Ground speed less than 18 kph Roll and pitch angle less than 30 degree Vertical speed less than 60 m/m (needle is within the two small lines next to zero) You say you have 3 switches up, but it must be 4, the flat silver one left to the channels also (AP power switch). That one is up too? What about the most right switch (alt hold and speed hold switch)? I think this one has to be in middle position. Not sure rn.

@@nazradu Thanks for taking the time to help! Yes, the AP power (silver) is also up/on and the rightmost I have tried in all 3 positions. I come to a near-perfect hover and I then activate the autohover and it turns on, but the yellow light only. What is actually the purpose of the yellow light? Standby? Should it be in standby before I try to activate it? The button I'm using seems only to toggle it between yellow and off. Is there some option that need to be on to make autohover work?

@@HillmanNor Amber means armed but not active. If it's armed it should go active when criterias are good. Could it be you hit the Auto Pilot Master Button before you hit the Auto Hover Toggle? The makes the AP disengage. Lights will go amber but never green until you hit the Master Button again. There is no indicator for that one (you just see a brief depress on the right black button on the cyclic). Just never touch that one!

Hi @@nazradu. Just gave it another go, this time in a hot-start mission and everything worked like a charm. Even more forgiving than I expected. Obviously there must be something missing in my startup procedure, maybe some alignment that I forgot... Long time since I flew the Gazelle, but now I will brush up on those skills again! :-)

@@HillmanNor I would say you did forget to turn the gyro knob to GM (the box below the RWR after turning the gyros need around 2 minutes to calibrate). In that case you see a orange flag on the lower right corner on your HSI labeled CAP and the box below the RWR has two red white striped windows.

The L model is the only one allowed on Enigmas Server , can you auto slave the Gazelle with the periscope sight to target or do you have to do it manually?

Can't tell from the top of my head. Chucks guide says "ALV) mode will make it steer towards the point designated by the TV camera" and that indicates M model only. I wish Polychop would make a George like AI that can do the shooting cause in the L it can be a real challenge to fly and shoot at the same time.

the autohover works but it's refusing to control my yaw, so the moment i let go of my yaw controls the helicopter goes crazy

The system does not hold yaw for you. Working as intended. Only the slave to camera mode takes controle over the yaw.
