Nice video. I was a Flight Engineer on the ALOIII in the South African Air Force back in the 90's. Got 600 hours flight time and 4 years experience as ground crew and 3 years as flight crew. The trap door you mentioned always gets lowered when we used the winch. 1. for sea rescue because we had a sea bath mounted in the back and 2. moutain rescue for easy access to get the person on the winch inside. We also had other configurations such as gun mounted combat. This came from the border war days back in 80's. Basically a 20mm cannon with open optic site mounted in the rear behind the pilot with the left door open and the barrel sticking out the side. We also did coastal patrol and rescue with the side mounted floats. Mid 90's we converted the engine intake filters to a centrifugal sytem and ditched the old paper filter. Was the best experience of my life.
The Rhodesian Airforce used these. Absolutely great chopper. Distinct sound and beautiful to watch flying. But only as good as the pilots that flew them.
Thank you! This brings back a LOT of memories! I used to volunteer as an E.M.T. 3rd rider for St. Anthony Hospital, CO (1988-1991) when allowed. The name of the bird was “Lifeguard 1”. What a treat! Thanks again!
You can certainly see where the Gazelle came from when you look at the Alouette. Nice first impressions Chris. I think this will be my favorite MSFS helicopter once the pedal effectiveness is tuned up.
Lovely that they included the Irish Air Corps. I had a second cousin who flew one of these for the IAC and after a holiday in France I dropped some wine in for him at Casement aerodrome. He arrived back at my house a few seconds after I got home and hovered a few feet over the roof in an Alouette III waving an enthusiastic thanks. The sound at close quarters is immense. Fantastic machine, fantastic guy.
@@cgaviator It was. R22s notwithstanding, helicopters at very close quarters are hugely impressive. Especially when they pretty much land on your chimney. Though I do have a better story. Summer, a good few years ago now, family vacation, Dordogne valley (France), one of my 3 sisters and a local tennis bum who she took a fancy to. She was caught smooching him in a field next to some hay bales one evening and for the next few days we teased her mercilessly about Giant Haystacks as the tennis guy was now christened. Keen to get me onside and knowing how much I love aircraft, she told me that Haystacks was joining the Armee de L’Air and that he had a brother who was already a fast jet pilot. I called total BS on all of that. She told Haystacks as much and he took umbrage. As, it seems, did his brother. The day after I called nonsense on all of the Armee de L’Air stuff, I was in the pool at the house we were renting, trying to get out of the heat and was chatting with one of my other sisters when her mouth dropped wide open and she pointed behind me. I turned to see a pair of Jaguars at about 250 feet, less than quarter of a mile away, on a run directly at our house. The lead pulled up very slightly before passing overhead, but his wing man dropped to considerably less than 100 feet and thundered directly over the pool I was in…so low that he had to tip a wing to squeeze his aircraft between our house and our neighbour’s. This all happened in a couple of seconds. It also sounds a bit exaggerated, but I swear that it isn’t. That lunatic legend shook a couple of tiles loose and I’m almost certain he cut it closer than he meant to. He pulled up to join his lead and the two of them zoomed off in close formation down the valley in a lovely haze of heat and noise. I was massively impressed and it was an incredible moment to see a beautiful machine like that so incredibly close and loud. I got strafed - minus all the expensive and pointy ordinance. Anyway. Fantastic to see you back, CG. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and I hope to see some more content from you soon. 🤗 Edit: It goes without saying that I know of your own fast jet experience on the more enviable side of the canopy. But for us civilians, the rare close encounters are incredible. I’ve also has RAF Tornadoes in the North of Scotland buzz my car - that was also magic. GT3, very early, I wasn’t hanging around and the roads were empty - I guess they fancied a look at the only other fast mover for miles.
Looks like a lot of fun scenarios can be created with this. I hope they clean up some of the textures. I believe the trap door makes it easier to recover the hoisted individual.
This is still on my wishlist for DCS. It would make a great addition to the Cold War theatre... still lucky enough to see some operate on our museum flying days.
@@cgaviator Irish Air Corps. I was in a photo recce Sqn . I mainly flew on fixed wing maritime patrols but we used helicopters regularly for recce for the army and SOF. Sad day when they retired in 2007 after 44 years service and many lives saved in the SAR role. Very stable platform for photo work. The sound of the Artouste engine was very distinctive and will stay with me for life as not only did I hear it everyday in work but I grew up near the courts where they would provide top cover during the troubles when terrorists were being tried. Actually the first aircraft I ever seen as a toddler and I ended up flying in the very same ones many years later.
I flew a few times in them when I lived in Switzerland. My dad flew many, many times to go work to dams in Valais when roads were closed due to bad weather. A pilot scared him when he showed him what this helicopter could do. My dad told me he hit his head a few times against the ceiling when the pilot was doing crazy maneuvers... The Alouette III first flight was in ... 1959! Switzerland HAD TO retire them because of the 2 turbines EU laws, but they were extremely reliable, and the view from the cockpit is fantastic. There have been a few crashes hitting cables, and over confident pilots, like the one who flew my dad a few years later sadly crashed and died...
Hi, in South Africa, the military use to use these choppers in the late 60's, 70's up to the 80's. They were coloured in a camouflage. South Africa was at the time in border warfare with so called terrorist who wanted to overthrow the country. I'm not much with the history, as i was much younger at the time, saw a few of these choppers flying over my home when they landed at the local government hospital dropping of patients that were at the time subdued by military R1 rounds. This was when the country itself was under civil political unrest, but anyway enjoyed the flight and keep it coming. Thanks
Heyo @cgaviator! regarding your question if this is still operational... yes it is, the Austrian Armed Forces still use it, but it's only got about a year to go sadly
I'm new to helis in flightsims and got this as it looks great. It's a lovely helicopter but I do find it quite tricky to fly, I definitely need more practise!
Hi, Love your tutorials, but wanted to know how you are moving/panning your cameras around? Are you wearing a head tracking camera? I’m curious about your flight sim setup. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I got the Lama for xplane recently so it was fun seeing the differences in the Lama vs the Alouette III. Does look pretty good though (the Taog model of the Alouette), might get it some time. Hopefully Asobo will model VRS and sort the yaw issues soon.
From wikipedia in relation to castles: "A murder hole or meurtrière is a hole in the ceiling of a gateway or passageway in a fortification through which the defenders could shoot, throw or pour harmful substances... down on attackers". I think it's pretty obvious that's what the trapdoor is for ;D
@cgaviator I just can't find instructions on how to use the pitch calculator. The supplied manual does not do a good job at explaining its operation. Is there a tutorial on you tube or some documentation that actually explains how to use the pitch indicator computer?
Looks like the trap doors helps to ease the entry and exit of the operator, what type of set up you use for flying helicopters Capitan? Yolk? Stick? Pedals?
It’s so - that the winch operator can see the HEC (human external cargo) - the winch cable doesnt touch the fuselage - the HEC can get easier in and out of the cabin
above 30 kts weather cocking helps keep your nose straight, not much rudder required, not sure how much required in this. Secondly trap door is used to help the winch operator and recovery easier
I just completed my first flight in the Alouette III, bought it after the first few minutes of your video. Flies nicely, sounds great, lots of things to like. Could this be the first helicopter with wheels in MSFS? Taxiing takes a bit of prcatice, but works quite nicely.
@@cgaviator I was wondering what was going on with the nosewheel on mine, thought I was missing a nosewheel lock somewhere! Good to hear thats been added to 'the list'! Still, despite the bugs I've been having fun!
@@cgaviator Sometimes I have to move the parking brakes several times before the wheel start to move. So a bit weird, but going in the right direction. I am surprised how much I am enjoying the ugly litte beast :D
I have avoided the new helicopters with Asobo's heli implementation since its clearly not close to be done but just flying this thing feels pretty good, and I could not resist this, its such a cool helicopters, I have not gotten the cowansim heli's yet for this very reason... I feel like I should have waited, but could not resist this thing... To me there is only 2 helicopters in MSFS that I'd recommend,, maybe 3... they are use a custom FM. Asobo will be awesome but it will need a few more updates, by end of year I hope it will be amazing.
After seeing this come out it makes me regret buying the vanilla HPG H145. Now I'll have to spend around the same amount of money to get the added features one way or the other. For me I now need Cowan Sim to bring their Bell 222 to MSFS, and that will be the only helicopter I will need from that point forward.
@@cgaviator While I don't disagree with you, the Huey is my all time favorite helicopter, when it comes to siming, I am a bit more practical and don't like to have multiple aircraft that do the same thing. I guess one way to do that would be to buy this instead of the Action Pack for the HPG H145, then I would have a vanilla H145 and the older AIII to do the rescue stuff, though admittedly the HPG Action Pack adds a lot of animated features so it really becomes, $35 for the Action Pack or $30 for the AIII?
@@ImpendingJoker to me that would be down to handling preference. The 145 action pack is astonishing and leaps beyond anything else in the sim. Only reason I don’t fly it as much is it’s a dab complex and the flying isn’t as fun. The MilViz huey should be good!
@@cgaviator Oh, I didn't know MilViz was ruining another aircraft. They did a pretty poor job on the Huey for FS9/FSX back in the day. It was in partnership with Nemeth Designs and to say it was a hatchet job would be putting it kindly, but I'll keep an eye out for it and your review just the same.

I can't tell you what that trap door is for..... we'd all get in trouble..... but lets just say.... watch American Made. That right there is the million dollar door :P On a serious note, looks pretty nice, I may be considering grabbing it myself.
@@patjam2 Same for the Algerian war, the Yom Kippur and Six-day wars, the Portuguese and Rhodesian bush wars. This chopper saw a lot of action. So to release it with these tame liveries is like putting out a Huey in Costa Rican turtle-counting & conservation livery and forgetting all about the role in Vietnam. I sense an excessively politically correct developer.
Lol, that's very niche! Probably not any time soon lol. Haven't had chance to fly it since, though I know it's had an update already. If you use PC then you may find some more liveries on fs.to
The H145 does a good job with rockets and guns but the flying experience is, by real design I think, a little meh! But yes, a proper all out warbird would be nice! Maybe a wildcat? Or we’re you thinking Apache? Trouble with the latter is the guns aren’t allowed on marketplace so it would limit sales. Stupid rule!
Thank you so much for the video! I'm glad to see you are having fun! I am actively working on a patch for the known issues :)
Cheers!
My pleasure!
This looks great, will you be selling at other stores?

Fantastic! The used them in Southern Africa. I saw a demo (real life 1983ish) and it was flying stunts litteraly
That would have been great to see! They don’t make em like they used to!
Love the model, outstanding stuff! A Dutch Grasshopper skin would be nice. (Grasshopper team 1974 - 1995, demo team of 4 Alouettes)
