I noticed that few days ago helis do not start in cold and dark state. I would like to have option to choose in which state it will spawn, CnD or ready for take of.

But beside that, helis fly really nice in 2024.
In 2020, I didn’t fly helis, really rare. Flight it self wasn’t the problem, but landing and hover.

Now in 2024, hover and landing does really nice.
Just about hour ago I did two free flights, with H225 and H125. With both I landed softly, able to hover and fly fast and slow.

Maybe you just need practice, at one moment you will get used to heli behavior so hover and landing will be no challenge for you.

I’m used to flight heli but on G2 the power / MLI always jump and move really fast with no reason and heli start to do whatever it wants.

Sometimes, without doing anything my heli start to fall down and even at full power,i dont land i crash as i have no power

I didn’t tried G2 in 2024, I will try it so I let you know how does it behave.

Thank you for your kindness

I just flied G2 for about 10-15 minutes, no abnormalities.
Instruments works, flies nice, even landing went smooth and soft.

Some Throttle Joysticks give pretty unstable inputs to the sim. So the heli governor is overriden all the time.

You can try what I did. Add some dead zone in the sensitivity panel for the throttle axis end zones. When activating the governor, roll in throttle until maximum. Did help with my setup.

You nailed it ! The dead zone on the warthog throttle z axis solve my trouble ! Its finally playable thx !

Thx for your help too ! It was a dead zone bug on throttle z axis !
