Like you I have never used sim rate but the problem occurs from nowhere.
Changing sim rate forward and back in free flight is what stopped the problem happening, this is the point…

I reset all helicopter controls back to the defaults for all devices. After doing this, no more bouncing in all modes. Sim rate did not help as well as playing with the cache or whatever. But since I reset all controls to default, no issues since more than a week now.

Seems to me no one at Microsoft cares about helicopters. Its only half of the simulator.
Is there anything I can do to help resolve this issue faster?
The problem persists after a clean Windows 11 install.
Would submitting any of the fallowing help?

FWIW, I have never used SIM RATE +/-, and had posted several weeks ago about this issue with heli’s, because I was having helicopters bouncing everywhere, but it had disappeared for weeks, but just had the problem happen again (It seemed to happen after I updated my chipset drivers, to reconnect my oculus)
I tried upping the sim rate, and back down, and it seems to have fixed it.
@MCgendraft
Just had to fix it again, using this method, works fine.
Nice to find something that works, right?! I wanted to point out, like you did, that I have never previously changed my SIM RATE, however, changing the SIM RATE does FIX it. I may have it pinpointed down to either a VR issue, when switching to VR mode, it causes my craft to softly bounce, and it seems like sometimes, this messes it up. I just went weeks without seeing the problem, and then I had an issue with not detecting my VR sensors, and re-installed my chipset drivers, and now its been doing it often.. but this could also be coincidental, as I do switch from 2D/3D often, so it may be an issue with possibly hardware setting? such as Honeycomb Bravo throttle quad. I’ve just been trying to see if non VR users have the issue also, which would possibly eliminate that theory, and offer some of my experiences, to try and help.
@MCgendraft
Aha, that’s interesting, I did use VR for a short time before the bouncing came back…!

Ok! good to know! I had posted before asking if any non VR people were running into this, but do not believe anyone has answered that, Thx!!
Curious, if you have had this problem again, but unable to fix it with sim rate increase/decrease? I have been having the bouncing helicoptor issue, after not seeing it for weeks, and now +/- on SIM RATE doesn’t seem to be fixing it anymore!
Had this issue today, career destroyed because of it.
My A reputation is now a D after trying a few times to start a flight and my purchased heli bounced and crashed before starting the flight.
I just started my career over again as my 172 I crashed in a separate incident, so I could essentially no longer do freelancing missions anyway. So, it’s faster to start over and get the cheap 172.

This issue completely destroys the whole experience for me. Imagine working your way up to buying your heli and getting an S rating, just to have it all destroyed with a bug in the game. I can’t even unlock the Search & Rescue hoist missions because the special mission crashes the heli from the bouncing/hopping/shaking as soon is I launch the mission.
Asobo please prioritize this!

To those who still have the same issue. I entered Beta version, still didnt help. I uninstalled the game and re-installed it which seems to have fixed the issue. I believe I am still in beta (don’t know if affects the issue or not), but there we go. Hope it lasts 
EDIT: For some reason it seems to be fine when doing missions which is not my own helicopter. Using my own helicopter from one of my companies results in the same hopping around, bouncing wall to wall.
EDIT: Now everything just bounces and hops again.

Okey.. So now they said they had “Fixed” the problem in the last update with the Heli jumping around like a frog. But it still dont work for me, wtf is this ■■■■?!

Worked for me as well! Thank you for the post! It was on my list of test to do, you helped expedite the process.
I also noticed if I am not in VR the helicopters will not bounce however soon as I switch it to VR it starts bouncing. I cant figure out if there is a culprit somewhere in the settings creating that.

They always say they fixed stuff when in reality they didn’t

Same here, just had it on a couple of helis earlier, now everyone(i’ve tryed) jumps in from the intro movie to the mission and keeps on, ruining rank and being unplayable.
Resorted to killing the process everytime i try, as not to loose to much ranking.

After they said it was fixed in the update, it worked for me a little bit, then back to jumping. Quit the sim and next day it was fine again. Has been steadily since that, so i’m happy for now!
