Helicopters are bouncing and jumping around causing instant crashes

Hello, In the missions, the Guimbal Cabri G2 jumps everywhere and bounces, even before the flight, in the hangar. What should I do to solve this problem?

February 2025 Developer Stream

At 37:20 Sebastian said it’s fixed in SU-01, but in SU-01 Beta it’s not fixed…

Does anyone know if we are we getting another beta build before release or is the current one a release candidate?

since that bug is still around. after trying a few suggested fixes, the challenge workaround worked

Sim Update 1 Beta (1.3.13.0) Release Notes - February 12, 2025

Still not fixed in todays update. Worked until I moved a heli to a new location then the bounce is back

You guys opened an internal ticket for this issue on Dec 4, 2024. 2+ months later it’s still not fixed. This is ridiculous.

I can fly now the helicopters again with the beta patch 1.3.13.0. i hope that they dont break it again.

Thanks for the update, better not risk buying a helo in the career until they really fix this bug

Just want to join.
Haven’t done any missions for several weeks.
Wanted to do search and rescue with helicopter, loaded a mission, Heli bonced and crashed and I lost a lot of reputation …

:rage:

It is still happening for me. Unplayable.

Still the same, with a bit different severity on different helis.
R66 seems to have small bounces, but flyable(until trying to land on a platform or to fill before spaying).
H145, H125, Bell 47, 407, Scout jumps around like a MF in the hangar, trying to start a mission is just a waste. Same in Freeflight, crashing before ready to fly.
Skycrane, H225, Chinook seems more stable, but still showing tendency to bounce. H225 also seems to have someone tappdancing on the pedals until you build some speed, but that may be normal, what do i know.
So about 3 helis are somewhat flyable the rest are not, specially not in missions. Being able to choose a different one that R66 or 145 for missions would be nice as that might have made them playable, but for how I just get on and test, and leave when i see how the state of it still are..

cant even do that bounces around like crazy if i manage to take off whenever i land wherever i land it just bounces quit go back to mission still bugged

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I started a rescue mission. The helicopter was moved from the Alps to Norway. While reading the check-in menu, the plane started jumping. After starting the mission, as soon as my avat started moving, I received a message that the plane had crashed. I lost a lot of reputation and transfer credits. This has already happened three times. Freelance rescue missions are useless.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

This has started happening to me too. Helicopters bouncing around (in career mode at first) but now even in free flight mode. cabri, r66 etc. I am using SU1 beta2 so the issue is still happening. I’s now in a bugged sate that i can’t get out of even with sim reboots. Video in linked post.

For reference in my case this is all I did for my helicopter to go into bugged state (FS2024, SU1 beta 2) -

  1. Running missions in heli last night - all fine, closed sim normally
  2. This morning, opened sim
  3. Opened career mode front page
  4. Opened sim settings to add in a keyboard bindkey for “toggle visual assistances”, checked no conflicats for that bindkey, saved settings
  5. Relocated heli to a new location to get to a new mission
  6. Started the mission in the Cabri - which was a mess from the location hanger page onwards
  7. Rebooted sim, still a mess
  8. Tried Cabri in free flight, still a mess
  9. Tried R66 in free flight, also a mess
  10. If I raise collective enough on loading of R66, I can just about get airborne, so it looks like a low level/ground effect thing, but also somehow related to having been initiated by changing a key binding too.
  11. No way (so far) for me to reset this bugged heli state.

So all I did to get to this bugged state was to change a keyboard bindkey and save it. Then start a mission. The bug now seems persistent.

Another update of beta 1 and still the bug is not fixed, how is it possible that such a critical bug that makes the game impossible has not been fixed for so many months? It is even more bizarre that at the beginning right after the premiere this bug did not occur, it only appeared during one of the updates. I am patient, but this is simply a mockery.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, on Xbox Series X with Beta 1.3.19.0.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• While attempting an agriculture mission with H125, observe bouncing effect on both the "hangar " screen and the initial view of the mission. After registering a crash, given option to restart or return to main menu. Restarting observes the helo stationary and presents “Error code: 307-400-00201”. After clicking Ok, observe drop in reputation. Going to the companies menu and locating the helo, option to “Update check up” and “Wash” present (occurs each iteration of the error behavior) but no damage registered to the helo components.

I think I found a solution to this problem. I had to change the collective axis setting from my main throttle to the joystick throttle. After this change everything is fine. Although it’s a bit stupid.

I don’t quite understand, can you explain what and where exactly you changed?

So, You resolved the problem by changing device that collective axis has been assigned?

*Edit.
this fixed it for me!

worked great for me until the beta 2 update… now the heli is jumping in free flight aswell as in career mode. uninstalling the beta and reinstall it now to see if that helps
