The SA342M Gazelle is a sleek 4-seat helicopter with one unique characteristic: its cockpit is reversed compared to all other helicopters in the mod. It has the lowest service ceiling of the fleet, reflecting its lighter airframe design.
Specifications
Variants
Reversed Cockpit
The Gazelle’s cockpit layout is the opposite of every other helicopter in this mod.
- Pilot seat → RIGHT side
- Co-pilot seat → LEFT side
Keep this in mind when assigning crew or using side-specific features.
Door Latching
The Gazelle has a door interlock system that restricts the order doors can be opened:
- Right rear door requires the pilot (right front) door to be removed first
- Left rear door requires the co-pilot (left front) door to be removed first
You cannot open a rear door without first removing the corresponding front door.
Door Item Classnames
Each variant has matching door classnames (e.g. CZ_SA342M_TigerMeet_Pilot).
Default Flight Tuning
These are indicative dev-tuned defaults and can change between builds — the in-game Admin Panel always shows the live per-helicopter values.
See Per-Helicopter Settings for a full description of every parameter.
