Hi, basically when I use the helicopter or any vertical take-off vehicle, as soon as I take off it spins, I have a Hotas X, I also tried using the Xbox one controller but nothing, many people say that it is normal for it to do this, that I have to counteract the rudder but I can’t really understand, it doesn’t work with the Xbox one controller either, with flight sim 2020 this problem didn’t exist and I didn’t use any assistance, could someone help me? Thank you all so much! I’ll leave you the video below.

Make sure you have your tail rotor axis mapped to the twist grip of your HOTAS. The helicopter’s use different settings than their fixed wing brothers/sisters. My helicopter settings were defaulting with “Rudder” not “Tail Rotor Axis.” Hope this helps.

ok, as you can see in the photo it is set, later when I’m home I’ll see better, but yesterday I changed all the settings and activated the assistance but it didn’t work, anyway I’ll try later, also because repeated it doesn’t work even on the xbox one controller, and a beginner who would like to use it obviously doesn’t know anything
Bummer! I was hoping that would have solved it. I’ll be in the sim to poke around in a few hours… I’ll see what I can find. I did notice with my little bit of time in the H125 it needed more pedal than I was used to in 2020, the R66 seemed about the same. (Of course these are the CowanSims in 2020, I know they will be behave differently from Asobo’s A-Star and Carendo’s Robbie)
This week we are all beginners again. Everyone is green again. We learn together.
Tagging @belatu42 for assistance, I know you have a full rig, but your insight for heli’s is always helpful.

I have the same problem on controller and would love to know if there is a fix for this. Since MSFS 2020 I couldn’t enjoy flying helicopters because of this weird problem
99,9% of the cases there is nothing wrong with the helicopter.
It is either a) unawarness of the player on how helicopters work and behave
or b) a control binding issue.
If you don´t 100% know how helicopters work and you don´t want that rotating force / spinning around in either left or right direction in the first place - enable helicopter tail rotor/pedal assist.
If the helicopter is still spinning after liftoff - check all your controller bindings regarding Rudder and Tail Rotor Controls. Best to not use double bindings on anything regarding this (like seen in the screenshot above) that could lead to unwanted inputs. And for Controller you usally want the analog triggers bound to the split tail rotor axis - meaning tail rotor left on left trigger and tail rotor right on right trigger.
Cheers
