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.
