MSFS 2024 Helicopter Turn Coordinators and Slip-Skid Indicators are Inaccurate


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: On helicopters, the turn coordinators and slip-skid indicators do not read accurately. They do not agree with the yaw string. This is not a problem in MSFS 2020. Please see the attached screenshot showing that the yaw string is centered or showing a slight right bias but the slip-skid indicator shows a full left bias. It is impossible to center the slip-skid indicator on helicopters in MSFS 2024 in normal flight.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: All helicopters.

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:
• Consistent with the G2. Slip indicator is stuck on the right side of the instrument. I suspect it might be an issue about having it’s internal value centered around 1.0 rather 0.0 something along those lines. It’s like it centers around half way to the right.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Thank you for the bug report.

This is happening for me too. I can be flying absolutely straight and level down the centreline of the runway on takeoff in the G2 at 50kts before rotation, and the coordination ball will be way, way off centre. Ditto in flight, where if I work to keep the ball centred, I’m applying a massive amount of right pedal and visually am blatantly skidding through the air. The coordination ball is straight up just not telling the truth.

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

Same issue, the ball is always stuck to the right, especially pronounced in the h125 but happening on all helicopters I’ve tried.

I see the same in the H125 and R66 which I fly.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Consistent across all helicopter models. Confirmed not a parallax issue by translating cockpit view to center.

As a VR user, I have noticed that some times, after going in and out of VR, the turn slip indicator is fixed in non-VR, but then breaks again in VR until you exit and leave the flight.
