DCS | SA-342 Gazelle Start-Up/Weapons/Avionics/Systems/NADIR | Tutorial

If you're looking for a really good intro on the basics and wanting to understand some of the core principles of flight in the Gazelle, I highly recommend vsTerminus' video on Gazelle Hovering; it's good bang for the buck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZbR8wOLNJA If you're looking to understand some of the shortcomings of the Gazelle flight model, vsTerminus actually turned me onto this video by Erik Scott; also some high quality stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E96fhzKmCHI I spent a lot of time filming and editing to produce this video, I hope you guys enjoy! I hope to get a better microphone in the near future, I'm not particularly happy with the voice audio quality. I also apologize, as being a new content creator I seem to have a tendency to not really have my next words prepared ahead of time. But I did my best! Hope you all learn something from this, even if it's something small. There's a lot more to cover, and I probably edited out some things that were worth mentioning, but if you're interested in a specific topic let me know and I'll get around to it!
