The force trim release should still help to get the stick back to center so you have more travel. I did notice that there is considerably more forward stick input required (and lower nose attitude) for forward flight compared to FS2020. Whether this is realistic or not, I don’t know.

as im going thru videos of real cabri flights, its not realistic at all. Hope they will open the source files soon so I could fix that
It should not require full forward cyclic for any cruise speed. Are you sure you are getting full travel on the input?
100% sure. I get to about 60 knots when crusing with cyclic on a position like in any other helicopter, but to get past 60 it just requires to lean forward like crazy. Similar thing about catching speed in H125
I experience the same, it is fine when using rotor trim / trim release. But likely not very realistic. H125 is a pain in the behind to fly without trim.
Well the governor is still not working as the EPM shows the MLI and the power doing the same up and down dance as it did in 2020 for me after the latest update yesterday.
Hmmm…I haven’t flown it since the update. I’ll take it for a spin tomorrow and see if I have any issues.

Having a terrible time. Following several tutorials and the checklists. These are the issues I have found:
- Cannot seem to access the starter switch so had to resolve to mapping to a button on my joystick.
- The Rotor Brake is a real pain in the a**. Takes concerted attempts to make it lock up.
- The Brake light is not extinguishing - no idea why and seem to have tried everything.
- Starting the helo is an even bigger pain … just not a stable power on .. I dont want to use auto-start or start on a H pad. I want to do it myself.
Since I cannot release the rotor brake, I simply cannot fly!!!
Can someone help please.
Guys .. solved this .. it was my TCA Quadrant plugged in. The parking brake on that interfered.

Is there a way to switch between Nav or GPS modes? Or does that not apply on this heli?
When flying a Guimbal cabri g2 (or Robinson R66) in msfs2024, and being slightly out of control (I’m new to handling the cyclic) I notice the cockpit foot pedals begin to twitch violently. If I use input-viewer, I see the axis displacement tracks the twitching. If I browse the pedals native axis reading it seems to be stable (Crosswind). Is this sophisticated Helicopter modelling of is it a bug?
Is the Quick Trim implemented? I see no observable effect of pressing it.
I also have problems resulting
from the latest update
Maybe you have tail rotor assist on in assistance settings?
The cabri is really bad since the latest sim update 4. While the aircraft flying model was slightly improved since 2020, this is now much worse! I am so disappointed as flying it IRL, I loveD to train on the sim for nav exercise etc. Since last update forget about trying autorotations, this doesn’t work anymore (was not great before but now impossible). The engine power cannot fly above 4000 ft in normal ISA weather, so you’re forced to reduce mixture which is forbidden in reality… also the annoying power limit timer indicator in yellow circle is unrealistic as should turn on only when you stay one minute in yellow arc… not to mention if you want to practice stuck pedal emergency procedure, the aircraft will yaw to the right when applying collective which the exact opposite to what would happen and the behavior close to the ground is completely unrealistic (also takeoffs and landing). So sad that I have to look for other software but this became too bad…

At least it stays longer than 30 minutes in the air. I did an interstate flight from Missouri to Kansas yesterday for about 2 hours and still had a little bit more than 50 % of tank available after landing. Not like the Robinson that only can be used for traffic patterns at the airport.
