ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
When taking up the mission “the needle”, which is asking you to land the H125 on a cliff side helipad on a lighthouse, just before touch down some force yaws the aircraft to the right and pushes it upwards.
It can not be counteracted as it is applied spontanously and only lasts a fraction of a second. It is also way too strong in effect to be a wind gust -also there is no wind besides this present from start to helipad. Also: when approaching very flat to the helipad the effect is nearly negated. It is still noticeable and prevents a controlled and precise landing, but it makes landing at all possible.
Additionally, this issue was reported by Sérgio Costa of https://www.helisimmer.com. A guy Asobo/Microsoft invited to the Grand Canyon preview event! If you read his review there is a section “Lets Fly” where he talks about the same effect being present there and then months ago!
If this is supposed to be an additional challenge where for example sometime during the landing a gust of wind throughs you off course this needs to be changed to one occurrance per landing attempt. Or some kind of turbulence simulation where you can adjust to the winds by getting to feel them earlier! The current bug or effect, as you like, feels more like a magnetic counter reaction where if two bodies come too close together they are repelled.
Also: the landing pad is perforated/meshed metal, meaning the downwash that would form a ground effect is passing through the helipad. So the approach is supposed to be more akin to hovering out-of-ground-effect then HIGE.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Fly the challenge “the needle”
- Approach in a normal helicopter landing procedure, bleeding of airspeed continuously until reaching a hover 1-2m above the helipad
- Lower the collective in hover
- Notice how near the helipad the helicopter starts yawing aggressively to the right and being pushed upwards and forward.
