Description:
Since installing the MSFS 2024 Sim Update 4 Beta, I’ve noticed a serious control issue affecting all helicopters.
Whenever I move my cyclic (joystick) to the left or right, it also changes the TRQ (torque) and Rotor RPM values — as if the cyclic was somehow linked to the throttle or collective.
I’ve already:
- Reset all key bindings to default
- Completely cleared and re-assigned all helicopter controls
- Checked for duplicate or conflicting axes (none exist)
Despite this, the problem remains. The cyclic input still directly influences the TRQ/RPM even though there are no bindings assigned to throttle, torque, or rotor RPM on this device.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch MSFS 2024 SU4 Beta
- Load any helicopter (tested with multiple models)
- Move the cyclic stick left/right
- Observe TRQ % and Rotor RPM % fluctuating in response
Expected behavior:
Cyclic movement should only control pitch/roll of the helicopter and not affect engine or rotor torque/RPM.
Actual behavior:
Moving the cyclic causes unwanted changes in TRQ and Rotor RPM, which makes the helicopter behave unpredictably and nearly impossible to control precisely.
Additional info:
- All assists off
- Tested with clean profile and default bindings
- Reproducible with or without Community folder content
