however a small problem therefore persists for xbox controller players. The rotor rudder does not return to the middle of itself. the rotor is therefore very difficult to handle for the landing phasesā¦

the modern profile make the problem. If you switch to legacey an then back to modern, the prob is gone.
But itās still far from reality and not fun even with a dry clutch and without centering on the stick.
The nonexistent trim reminds me a bit of the Asobo Porter where the tail wheel lock was forgotten. Itās a pity that no one notices the lack of such essential things beforehand, when development is always carried out with āreal pilotsā.
iām confused a little here. i read so much about how the helicopter programming is incredibly realistic in msfs. iāve been playing DCS World for years now which also has an incredibly realistic simulation and iāve almost mastered it. in DCS if you donāt carefully coordinate the collective, cyclic, and pedals preciscley, you wonāt even make it into a hover but will end up a ball of flame.
i fired up the new helicopters in MSFS and was sort of shocked how easy it was to fly. you can take off and hover right away with hardly any pedal input. you press your stick forward and it flies forward with no need for much coordination. this is not how IRL helicopter flying is (iāve taken a few lessons as well), so either Iām missing something here or helicopters arenāt very realistic in MSFS. anyone else come across this?

Go to the options and disable the rudder and cyclic assistance for helicopters. They are enabled by default.

Using the Xbox controller in realistic mode with everything on in hard modeā¦ Only take me 15 minutes, I have no problem controlling it, but it was super shaky when I played, Iāve been testing for about 15 minutes and then itās extremely easy, you have to use the triggers to keep it stable once you know how to stabilize it, is as simple as using Autothrust on an Airbus A320.
*** (Do not lift it completely off the ground, throttle very slowly until it starts to spin once it starts to spin without control only 5 cm from the ground, practice with the triggers L and R you have to know how to stabilize, once you have learned how to stabilize, is the most simplest aircraft the game.
What is happening Itās like the old people that never use a computer mouse, is very easy when you know how to do it, not take off the ground more than 5 cm, until you learn how to stabilize it.

maybe this is it, iāll check. i have the plane settings on 100% realistic so assumed that would continue, didnāt realize it would reset to simple
Thanks! This is it. Here is exactly what I had to do to get it to work.
Make sure you are at the main menu and not in a flight.
Go to Options, General Options, Flight Model.
Change to Legacy. Hit Apply and Save.
Load a flight with the helicopter.
It should work fine. End the flight all the way, and go back to Main Menu.
Go back to Options, General Options, Flight Model.
Change back to Modern.
Start a new flight.
Should work!
Thanks for figuring this out! It was super frustrating.

Finally this fix worked for me too, thanks so much everyone!

Try the small model, donāt do a fly, just go 5cm off the ground or less, throttle very slowly until it starts spinning crazyā¦ At this point use R or L to stabilize it, once you got it, will be easy.
Start with the Guimbal G-2 Cabri model, it is more easy.
everybody have the first time
Sounds like you have the helicopter assists on. They were on by default. They are new and separate to the other assists. You need to turn them off first otherwise this is indeed how the helicopters fly (which is why I think you have assists on).
FWIW, I donāt have issues flying either Helicopter with my MS SWFBB2 (twist stick and throttle). But I have been flying Helicopterās in XP11 and DCS for years with the same stick. I also typically leave throttle control to the governor.

yeah i assume the controls must be on simple because itās nothing like DCS. iāll check later
Hi folks. Same problem here :
Using a Saitek X52 Controler
New command profile created just before starting this test thanks to this video
https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TK5eCt9Z_6M (thank you man)
And this is what very quickly happens after I set up trims correctly (see my lift up almost totally straight in lineā¦ thenā¦ all of suddenā¦
Couldnāt find an explanation so, to me, itās kind of a bug touching my controler i guess? Canāt be my MSFS installation : remade it totally from scratch 2 days ago
My specs : i7 10900KF 32Gb GeForce RTX3080 10G
If anyone has an explanationā¦
Thanks
Forgot to mention : flight model in settings = Legacy : FSX + everything low and ingame assistance for helicopter to full.
Flies great out the box with the Xbox controller. The problem Iām having is landing - it always wants to pitch violently up, regardless of how careful I am. Every landing it slams into the ground. I think it needs work to improve this aspect.
