SA. 342L1 Ethniki Frourá SF.2 1.0

SA.34L1 Gazelle of Cypriot National Guard Ver 1.0 for SF2

This is a third party addon of SA.342 Gazelle helicopter.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters modified by me. I am not using airbrakes or flaps but flying fast and slow is stil possible, even hovering with little practice.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1.

This is highly modified SA-341 Gazelle by BPAo (TMF). Lucky, thanks to Crusader I had access to original max file. So I could work a little on this great helo. At first I was planing only to rebuild middle east Gazelles to have some balance of power in Wings Over Israel game. But having oportunity to work on file brought me at this point. And I decided to go with French Gazelles first.
Generaly model is almost the same as old one. My work was to add some parts here and there (rwr,cable cutters, new athos, some internal parts, skids etc..). Rearanged animations and added new. Weapons/pylons are part of airframe. Ive added new rotor. Also I've rearanged UVW mapping. So basicaly skins are 70% new.

This mod represents Gazelle L1 as used by Cyprus National Guard. It was made on request of CA user. And with his help on ini edit I decided to put it here.

******************IMPORTANT******************

This addon works with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). Most of pylons/launch rails are part of airframe. So in weapons folder you have to put only ini files. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons availalbe.

Weapons included:

HOT-1,2,3 missiles.

Cocpits.
It is simplified and unified version of Gazelle cockpit.
In pit you can switch from pilot to co-pilot/weapon operator seat.
On co pilot seat you have access to 1x "binocular" sight Athos/Viviane. In HOT equipped version by selectiong HOT missile sight will lock on target as all HOT missiles are made as EOGR.

Animations and standard commands:

LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.

ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
ANIMATION 3 - rear doors.

Thereis also parking animation that works only when aircraft will be placed by game engine on airfiled as parked aircraft.

Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.

Skins.
Two versons of Cyprus paint scheme. I decided to call it late and early.

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.

Nation for this helo is new Cyprus. This should be added (by copy text from provided file) to nationlist.ini
