I saw a video about configuring Cyclic and cpllective controls for helicopters. I never did that. For me throttles and ailrones/elevators/rudder axes are configured, I never created separate helicopter profiles with cyclic and collective.
Are they needed?

Something Fishy in China Town!
When I fly Helicopters in FS2020 nooooo Adjustment is needed, Heli flies spot on every time!
Now why in 2024 are the Heli Controls soooo out of whack? Itās not like Iām using some over priced HOTAS junk. I am using a Simple Joystick & Rudder Pedals. (CH Products USB). Makes 200% zero sense? Anyone care to chime in? Note**** I Calibrate Stick & Pedals in Windows 11 before I go into FS2024. Itās not Complex at all or shouldnāt be!
Anyone that has flown RC planes knows about EXPONENTIAL, I can tell you that EXPO does not work correctly in this Sim. Itās all or nothing, either way too much, or not enough.
I can not be the only one that is seeing this. My Gut says the Controls Section needs to be completely Re-Worked.
This is not a Rant, just love the Sim, and want to fly helis in stable flight.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
NHT
To add 1 more thingā¦
Itās sad that the controls are picture perfect in FS 2020, there isnāt some high tech thing that were supposed to do in 2024, its just a mess and doesnāt work.
I think it will be years before this is usable. Back to FS2020 for me and everyone I know!

I donāt really understand what your actual issue is. Do you have a problem with finding the right assignments for your axis, or with the sensitivities of the axis?

Iāve been working on getting the Pro-Flight Trainer Puma with a BH06 pre-release collective configured to work as it does in the real aircraft for the Cowansim B206B3 & B206L3.
Here are my profile assignments:
Using āSET STARTER 1ā requires the button to be held. If you release the button below self sustaining N1%, the starter will disengage and spool down.
āTHROTTLE 1 CUTā should have the repeat function unchecked and the idle release will work correctly.
āTOGGLE LANDING LIGHTSā should have the repeat function unchecked. The two position switch is not modeled in the Cowansim B206B3/L3 so this is the best compromise on functionality. Flip the switch up one position then back to turn them on. Flip the switch up one position then back again, to turn them off.
For startup:
- press and hold the starter button
- when N1 reaches 12-15% roll throttle on until the idle release button pops up
- roll throttle back against the idle release stop
- release starter button when N1 reaches 40%
- if TOT temp exceeds 927Ā° (single red line on gauge) for more than 10 seconds, push idle release and roll off throttle to abort start (hot start)
- allow N1 to stabilize ~60%
- turn generator switch from START to GEN
- Slowly roll throttle to full, keeping Torque gauge below 40%
- check that the governor maintains the turbine and rotor rpm in the green arcs
- use INCR/DECR GOV RPM switch to adjust as necessary (engine beep trim)
