@Feintgames Жыл бұрын
Joystick with a throttle or a hotas will make a huge difference in your muscle memory and ability to make sense of what's happening. A game pad doesn't have the ability to leave a control in place such as the collective. It always returns to center.

@planetjakebomb Жыл бұрын
So as he mentioned at the beginning. The rotors turn in either direction. The helicopter is balanced for cruising altitude which means at lower altitudes it will have a slight rotation on the helicopter which you have to counter with the pedals until you get high enough. The same applies for the pitch of the helicopter. In some cases you will have to takeoff with the stick aiming forward as the helicopter will pitch backwards as it leaves the ground

Switch to Legacy and make sure you switch Global Preset to Realistic. Now start a flight and it should fly like on rails. End the flight and go to Main Menu, General Options Set Flight Model to Modern and start a flight. Now all should be well."
