Brilliant! 
Is this a joke, smiley missing ??? Otherwise just dispensable. Jeansy doing superb repaints
Hello!
Speedy70:
Why you don't wait Westland version to come out? it's much suitable to get that paint scheme on Westland version then Aerospatile.
We have created that livery by special request of Scott Hewson, presenter of "The Gazelle Squadron Display Team" but didn't plan to publish them.
Jeansy:
---> Yes, your result is very bad. <--
If PaintKit is complex it doesn't mean that it is bad. It gives you a very open hands to do whatever you want with paint job.
Anyone tried sling load operations? It's fun...
Seems so Dave, (though I ' m not entirely sure if your comment was meant ironically - if so, sorry ) :

Ah.. I see. No irony intended. Trying to fathom why they stopped the release of one to announce work on another unless they want to release them all at the same time
I'm sure they have their reasons. Interesting to read the Gazelle's FD wasn't particularly well received at Air Daily.

Dave, one thing Ive noticed when it comes to the gazelle here and hovercontrol
the main poster in each of the threads here and there is the developer
besides him there are very few post of absolute praise from forum users both here and HC
I could be wrong and more than likely is wrong but im getting the impression hes not happy with the response or lack of from his posts
and has decided bugger it, just develop and release there is no point in posting because im not hearing or seeing what I want that makes warm and fuzzy on the inside
like i said I could be wrong and more than likely is wrong, but due to the lack of overwhelming possessive feedback on this and other sites I get that feeling
on another note helisimmer is where I saw the post about s55, HOWEVER they gave him 9/10 for nearly everything on the gazelle (i dont know how )except FDE which was 4/10, which was well worth the read of the replies

I think you probably are right mate. I note on the Helisimmer review that the reviewers 'area of expertise' (if I can call it that) was the FD and this was his main area of concentration. He did a fair job on it too it has to be said but an equal depth of focus on the other areas would have seen the overall score lower.
I've just checked Flightsim.com and there's still not a single repaint there for it!!

I have to say I take my hat off in respect to any developer, but especially those working solo (which I believe Conver is?). Mastering 3DS Max, the FDE and C++ programming, not to mention getting one's head around the SDK, is a feat in itself. Bringing it all together on a single project and actually "finishing and completing" to put it on sale is a big ask. To butcher Foreigner's original lyrics, "I've been waiting for a Gazelle like you to come into my life" for years and now she is here I'm very happy. I was still holding out for Cyril Pioffet to complete the transformation of his freeware Gazelle for FSX, but in it's absence I was glad to be able to buy MP Design's instead.
I'm very eager to see the Westland Gazelle AH1 model released (the chopper I've spent most time aloft in IRL, together with the AS350 Squirrel), but arguably this is the most complex version given the number of different options and modifications which have occurred over the years (including a mod happening now, to keep the AH1 in service for a few more years. It changes the panel quite a bit). I was thinking of starting to build a freeware Westland AH1 myself, and have been collecting material for a while, but time and ability (lack there of!) have prohibited it!
I believe Conver might be an owner and operator of his own Gazelle (?), plus I know he is in conversation with the Gazelle Display Team here in the UK regarding the modelling of the Westland variant. These two things bode well in my mind.
One final thing, the release of MP Designs Gazelle is very timely... as the design is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. To commemorate the occasion there is a special Fly-In at AAC Middle Wallop this Saturday. Tickets are £15. I wouldn't miss it for the world! See you all there??!!
