Managed to capture my problem on your advice thank you. yes its that high pitch noise which ke eps going on .i notice a yellow light and a red on the panel too.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 2025.04.16 - 14.12.28.01.mp4
That is the low rotor rpm horn. You need to be at full throttle to let the governor take control.
Power is your collective setting, rpm is your engine percent. Watch your tachometer (upper right gauge) and you can see that you are in the lower end of the arc and that is why the horn is going off.
The governor is off by default, which it shouldnât be, because there is not a switch in the cockpit to turn it on. You have to set a key bind or button to turn it on as a work-around.
edit: search for âgovernorâ in the controller settings. Itâs best to set a bind to âgovernor onâ and âgovernor offâ. This way you know for sure what state it is in, rather than assigning âgovernor toggleâ.
The yellow light on the panel is the âlow rotor rpmâ warning. The red light is âmain rotor gearbox over pressureâ. Youâre pulling too much collective.

Thank you belatu42 for you help and guildance regarding this matter and learnt alot on capturing videos too for the first time ever, with the help of Game Changer. 3rd time iâve flew the R66 and liked it. Iâll get used to it. Very windy morning here in Manchester UK. 
thumps up. Regards .

It only affects the pitch axis; itâs a continuous micro-movement that increases with speed. The weather has no impact on my problem, and neither does terrain.
At zero and slow speeds, there are few visible effects, but above about 50 kts, the pitch axis starts to vibrate, and the vibrations increase with speed.
This is most probably due to the flight model of msfs2024 - this problem was not present on msfs 2020 and is not present on 2020 helicopters (not converted for msfs 2024).
I donât have any problems with aircraft either.
I tried flying on screen and not VR, the vibration effect is present but not at all annoying, on the contrary it gives a realistic effect.
The turbulence that sometimes affects my yaw axis doesnât bother me.
Thanks for your answers.
My question is, what should I assign the throttle control to so I can control it with a game controller?
You really only use the throttle during startup and if there is a governor failure. Set it to whatever is an out of the way axis on your controller. After startup, roll the throttle up to max and make sure the governor is on. Then donât touch it to fly.
The collective is what you use to control pitch of the main blades for normal flight maneuvers. Most people assign their joystick throttle to âcollectiveâ

With all sounds turned off and set to 0, I can still hear a âclickingâ type of sound when I move the cyclic. I would love to turn this sound off, does anyone know how to?
I did a few more tests, and the impression of vibrations certainly comes from the visual effects of turbulence from the main rotor, which gives me the impression of a jerky scrolling environment.
Isnât there an option to disable them? Or reduce its effects?
In VR I find it very uncomfortable.
Yep, I noticed that too! I have the same stable fps that in smooth flights with other helis, but in the R66 the outside image has a slight vibration

Flew a bit in this chopper the other day and was surprised how non dramatic and good it was! Didnt do any crazy things so maybe didnt notice any bad behaviour, so going to fly this more now and see how good it actually has gotten!
I know it felt really slow before in movements, and still had that yaw to the left/right all choppers based on the nemeth 407 has, but think it was really toned down nowâŠ
We will see but seems promising!
And the rotor finally spins in the correct direction!

Is there a way to use the NAV CDI (round one) on the main instrument panel? Mine seems non-functional; it always shows centered cross hairs no matter what the aircraft is doing or what the GTN is set to. Is there a way to slave it to the GTN?
The CDI softkey on the GNS needs to be set in GPS mode but it doesnât work. It acts as if itâs in VLOC despite being in GPS mode.

Itâs too agile compared to last version. Now itâs hard to fly.
What do you using to fly the helicopter?
Logitech Attack 3 joystick and rudder pedals.
Before update this heli flying nice.
I just did a flight with it and it was peachy. Are you using any assists? I donât.
I havenât experienced any change in the way it flies with any of the updates. A few things have been fixed, like the rotor spinning the wrong way, but otherwise it flies as it always has.
The last time I tried flying this R66 was a few months ago, and I was disappointed, which led me to buy an R66 from a third-party developer.
However, I tried Carenadoâs stock R66 again today and was pleasantly surprised! Iâm not sure when the model was updated, but now I really, really like it, both visually and in terms of flight. The interior and exterior are done just great, with all the realistic scratches and smudges in the corners of the windows. I also feel that the helicopter is now a bit easier to stabilize, though itâs quite challenging on hover and landing, a change I actually appreciate.
My impressions are extremely positive! At this point, I like it much more than the third-party version and would say itâs on par with the best helicopter models for MSFS 24.

I have the same feeling here, have to do more test but changes were made on SU3 I thinks
