I found most of the issues with this to be the control assignments reverting.
I started with a clean profile and reassigned the bindings and this is what works:

the ‘governor on/off’ commands are working too, but the governor is off by default. There isn’t a switch for the governor in the R66, you can only turn it off by pulling the fuse, but the fuses aren’t functional.

For this model the governor should be on by default.
The blades turning the wrong way needs to be fixed, and not being able to put the fuel guard on is triggering my anxiety…

Does your issue can be considered as fixed ?

For “The blades turning the wrong way needs to be fixed” issue, there is an open report that has been logged.

It’s starting cold and dark now, but the governor is off by default and there isn’t a switch in the cockpit. I’ll log that as another bug report. This issue is resolved.

Did you register the off-by-default governor bug? I am having the same problem, but I don’t find such issue already opened.

Nope. I haven’t logged it yet
