Die Designer von JRXDesign haben im X-Plane-Store ihre Umsetzung von zwei Varianten der Aérospatiale Gazelle veröffentlicht. Die SA314B und SA324J unterscheiden sich dabei in ihrer Ausstattung: Die B-Version militärisch im Einsatz, die J-Version zivil. Laut JRXDesign wurde das Heli-Addon sechs Monate lang von echten Piloten getestet um eine realistische Umsetzung in den X-Plane zu bringen. Für 30 Dollar gibt’s das Addon im X-Plane-Store.

- Fuel weights are dynamically changed
- Pilot, co-pilot and passengers modelled – with dynamic weight
- Door removal – with dynamic weight
- Munitions (for the SA341 (INERT)) – with dynamic weight
- Sling loads are invoked in cockpit with no third-party plugin required – with dynamic weight / CG
- Detailed flight reference cards (FRCs) are included in-cockpit with all procedures
Sound:Full FMOD sound is included in both version’s with over 50 sampled sounds from a real Gazelle helicopter mixed live with FMOD studio.
