Well tried it: The cyclic has the exact same behaviour no matter how the assists are turned on or off.
The chopper flips over if I push up, and no matter how small movement I do the chopper still moves in a right/forward motion, and not straight forward and stopped by the skids, as it does when rotating the controller.
When rotating the controller the chopper hardly moves when pushing ( what then is) left or right or up, and pushing down it leans backwards until the tailrotor hits the ground.
And getting of the ground with assists on was a nightmare, until I rotated the controller and could gain control over it again.
Cyclic is twisted, its a fact! If its not on pc then great for you but its unflyable on xbox!
