I was having some fun in DCS World recently. I actually managed to clean up about 30gigs of garbage on my SATA SSD, and I was able to update the DCS World Open Alpha. I had heard the Viggen was updated to work on the NTTR map, and I believe it could be fun to do some low level canyon flying. Eh, the map just looks nicer then the Caucuses at low level. I was torn between the Viggen and Gazelle. The Gazelle won since I could enjoy the scenery more, and I wanted to find something rather tiny on the ground.
I went on an areal tour of Rachel, Nevada. I had been hoping to find the mysterious ‘Black Mailbox’ on the Extraterrestrial Highway. That is the actual highway’s name by the way. While the mailbox turned out to be a dud, there was a little surprise in town. A motel called the Little A’Le’Inn is fully modeled. It’s a motel that attracts many fans of UFO stories. Heh, I found the first real Flying Saucer in DCS World.
So if you like the Gazelle and the NTTR map, I believe you’ll enjoy this video. I’ve noticed the only thing that gets hits on this website is the DCS World Gazelle review. So, I’m putting more Gazelle stuff up as a thank you. I’m still ok with the fight model for the most part. It isn’t perfect, but I’m happy just to have another chopper in DCS.
** On a side note, I’m super happy with how well this render looks. I believe I finally have some decent render settings to use in Sony Vegas. The video is sharp, the colors aren’t wacky, and it isn’t too dark.
