Hey, your tutorials are amazing! Thanks. A little tip about the algorithm: you should put a number in your title and organize the videos in a playlist, so youtube recommends one video after another. For example: I watched the first lesson, but had to look for this second one. This can be easily resolved if you number your titles ("lesson 1", "lesson 2"), so the website itself will recommend it to your subscribers.

I’m Brazilian and writing for to thanks your help about helicopter in the flight simulator. Was very good for me. God bless you.

Thank you for the control setup. I always struggled to get up in the air. Now with this tutorial i can fly around, very helpful. Thank you.

Awesome, thank you. Can't wait for more tutorials, this has been hugely lacking in MSFS so far, subscribed.

Thank you for this video! It was helpfull for me. Im also using Thrustmaster joystick like you have, i just have model with separate throttle (T.16000M FCS). I assigned collective to that throttle axis, and also i assigned helicopter throttle to that little slider on bottom of my joystick. Some of people here suggested you should do new helicopter profile from scratch, but i think the way you did by deleting unnecessary axes or buttons was better. And i also did this way following your tutorial.

Very nice lesson. Looking forward to lesson 2

Thanks for this outstanding video. What a world of difference setting up the proper terminology with the right control commands! I had everything working with the inputs That I set-up but now that the proper commands are set up to the correct controls the heli is performing outstanding. Too bad Microsoft did not do the same thing for it's users.

Man I had given up on helicopters, so trimming is the trick! Thank you so much for this!!!

WOW!! Changing the controls actually totally changed the experience xD Honestly, I didn't know that you had to do this... Just got into a helicopter once, found it to be uncontrollable (with the unchanged control setup) and never came back to helis since then^^ Thanks a lot! :-)

I thank you so much for the video cuz I had no clue about setting up the controls for a helicopter

Great video can’t wait for the next one. Thanks again for sharing your info until next time.

Coming from flying planes in the sim playing with the helicopters definitely feels like a fine balancing act with your balancing your airspeed and VS

Great tutorial man. Solve my problems here!!

Very useful. You got a new subscriber! Nearly 3 AM in London! I also have the T16000. I think it the buttons numbers are different, it is because you have the joystick set for left handed. There is a switch under the T16000.

thanks so much have been messing with this for a few days nothing worked until I found your video instructions here…

I had issues with heli spinning out of control.. tried the legacy to modern, same result... Watched this video and set up my controls, but still had same issue, then I changed back to legacy mode with all sliders up and viola, now works Set up controls (if joystick) with this video and if still having control issues, set to legacy mode with all sliders full. This FINALLY worked for me and I hope this helps anyone still dealing with this

Glad to know its not my extreme 3D pro. Worth pointing out that it worked plug and play with X-plane 11 helicopters, can hover and control the R44 no problem, no adjustments other than calibration to do. Can get about a foot off the ground before it gets away in MS2020, if use assistance on tailrotor and cyclic it starts oscillating until a crash

Great video. I thought you explained the control set up well. Just wondering what did you use for throttle control? In other videos they recommend using the propeller axis. Thanks.

Great stuff thanks

Great video explanation!

I love your videos very helpful. My question I am struggling with is I have a x52 pro hotas I got all the bindings like you go over in this video and one day the 222b is as easy as driving a car, but then the next day the slightest touch on the causes it to circle erractically and start rotating backwards. I suppose deleting the hotas and reconfiguring is an option, but is there another way? Any help will be appreciated

Appreciate the video I subbed. I love to learn and boy do I need to learn helicopters? I'm not too bad but it's a little challenging

Great video, great instructor, auguri!

Super Thanx for your video. I have a Puma X cyclic, and I believe, I have too much travel in the cyclic stick. How can I get it so I can make small adjustments/travel please?

Grazie, ottimo video. Mi serviva per capire come settare il trim.

Great videos! Looking forward to see videos about to make a correct landing, which I find very hard.

When you find out that its easier to fly a real helicopter than f/s 2020's helicopters.

😎Thank you!

Great vid

Thanks!

i do you set up with the xbox controller for helicopters?

Just a small tip on control set from scratch. I find it saves time by selecting new instead of copying the default mapping. You wont need to remove all the old mapping.

I still can't find the trim which makes the helo go forward without pushing on the joystick, thanks for any help.

No matter what I do, my flight model on the helicopters is completely bugged. As soon as I lift off the ground its starts rocking left to right and up and down. Even on easy with all the assists I cannot control it. Tried everything, (both modern and legacy), all controls rebinded with all assists on and off.. nothing works... All I have to do now is reinstall the game...

I assume with pedals, tail rotor axis is assigned to that. And what about throttle setting?

Fantastic, now I know how to trim!! Complete helicopter noob. Although you missed the throttle setup? But I figured it out.

hello and thank you for the videos Can you tell me whether to review the calibration of the axes or keep the default

what about the thottle axis on the collective ??

For game constantly disconnecting online service. I opened the xbox game bar on PC and completely signed out of the service and my disconnect issues stopped altogether. I am running MSFS on steam. Try that for anyone having an issue.

I'm confused. I don't have Collective bound to anything but I have Throttle bound to the throttle slider on my joystick and yet moving that slider raises and lowers the collective (and doesn't move the throttle, the governor takes care of that). It works fine but it doesn't make sense to me. Love the airport btw! Where is it? Thanks for the video!

I didn't change anything from my default flying setup, and my helicopters fly fine! I'm using 3 different controllers also, stick, throttles from yolk, and pedals from wheel. I watched this video to see if the new controls make any difference. I can't see why i would change anything! Maybe I'm missing something?

Need help setting up the heli throttle. Helicopters DO have throttles. And they are necessary for important flight maneuvers such as autorotations. The collective will increase the throttle because of the Correlator (that links the collective to the throttle), and the RPM is also governed by the Governor. Helicopters have a twist-grip throttle on their Collective lever (twin-engine helis have 2 on there). You use the twist grip throttle to override the Governor, or you override the correlator when doing autos, etc. So in order to Fly the MSFS Simulator like a real helicopter, you need to have one binding/setting for the Collective and a different one for the twist-grip Throttle. This should be possible as you can click the twistgrip with the mouse and move it, but I can't figure out how to set up the Control Options to be used with the MaxFlightStick, helicopter Control system (that has a realistic collective lever with twist-throttle).

I lift off and just go everywhere can't control it at all have all assists on for easy flying but it doesn't make a difference. I'm on pc with an Xbox controller just fyi

Clifford said to me if it spins out of control you can fix this

👍👏👏👏

Great Tutorials. They helped me a lot. But tell me, where can I find this Balakula? When i'm searching for it, I get no results.

Watching Your introduction, it looks I cannot fly helicopters within MSFS just with a keuboard-control. Right? A joystick is absolutely necessary?

It is just so annoying that the one really important and basic thing to get right (setting up your joysticks and other flight hardware) so you can interact with the program at the most basic level seems so clunky and with issues on Day One in what otherwise is a great release. Some companies make setting up your hardware an absolute delight - so intuitive you can do it in five minutes and don’t need to go searching all over the internet to find out how to do it. Nope that's not the Microsoft way - just got used to Windows 10 operating system ? Here let's change all that for you in 11 because we can !!!

What if you dont have a joystick????

when you said your joystick buttons were opposite it may be because the switch on the bottom side of the base of yhe joystick is flipped for the wrong hand. this may also be intended and you might already know in which case this comment is pointless

Asobo, give us at least a few default liveries for the Cabri...like for free...now. One livery was such a nasty.

I don’t know why they don’t make the collective reverse by default. That has been a problem for every flight simulator product.

Holy shit man. This is incomprehensible.

Unfortunately you made everything sound a lot more complicated by just cloning your original settings and then having to delete a lot of your old irrelevant settings to change them into the ones you wanted. Would have been much simpler and safer to have started completely from scratch and let everyone know just which axes/buttons they need to set up for helicopter flight. But thanks for the video.

It's confusing. Would have been nice, if you had a camera pointing towards your hardware. Hard to follow and the names confusing as well, so many axes here and there

I'm going to stick with your whole tutorial set because I like your style. But I think your joystick trim assignment section was confusing. Telling us the left/right reverse buttons of the button assignments you want us to assign was hard to follow. Especially because you aren't consistent in the left/right reversal pattern. But I replayed it a few times and got it right. However to me (who has never tried flying helis) your trim assignments were not intuitive. In the center column of the joystick pad you assign the top button to trim backwards and the bottom button to trim forwards. I reversed those assignments. Then you use the right two buttons to trim right (top key) and left (bottom key). Instead I moved left trim to the lower left key and right trim to the lower right key. Laying these four trim keys out in the direction I want to move is much more intuitive to me. Otherwise, I'm excited to keep learning this new type of aircraft from you. Thank you.

i have the only joystick in the world that can't tell the difference between Left and Right

you think you helped a few people but you explained poorly to many that has the aptitude of definition to the bindings which your referring. that being said you would be perfect on Asoboze team

and another one lol

Stolen

No idea how to utilize this as I have a traditional yoke, throttle and rudder.
