A key to smooth flying is setting up the right controller profile - see the different tips upthread. That being said slowing down quickly is not that easy.
There is a Jaydee check list on flightsim.to that is very helpful.
I had a similar problem with precise power control (because the V-22 has such a large power range) ⊠and at least for me the axis adjustment helped a lot.

Thatâs a big improvement. Thanks!
@LikedHare478430 I learned that the V-22 series has helicopter-type force trim (purpose of the TRIM REL button on the cyclic). Any plans to implement this on the MV-22 and/or the Chinook?
AFAIK this is not supported by default on MSFS (definitely not supported on the Osprey as it uses the Turboprop flight model instead of the Heli flight model). This would require a custom FM to take over.
Wonât be implemented on the Osprey as the custom FM (CONV Mode) is already quite stable, and a custom FM on APLN mode would have many drawbacks.
On the Chinook, we will look into it as some other features do require a custom FM.

Anybody have any luck with tactical-type approaches in the V-22? i.e. Landing starting from an overhead maneuver or otherwise making a rapid deceleration before a steep approach.
Absolutely, now if you really want to challenge yourself, fly my âOperation Eagle Fangâ flight plan/mission (on flightsim.to, see above) over Iran at full speed staying under 500 ft for 1.5 hours, and as you approach the LZ, decel from 280 kts and transition to vertical, staying under 500, without overshooting.
As a reward youâll get to see another cool rotorcraft.

I know, I already downloaded and installed your mission! 
ButâŠI have wanted to practice with the Osprey a bit more before committing a couple hours to it. I already figured out what the mystery rotorcraft is from your screenshotsâŠI wonât give spoilersâŠ
For practicing the transition, the trick is to watch the tilt indicator that shows you where in the envelope you are and stay in the middle, while watching your climb indicator at the same time. Basically, first reduce the throttle to idle and start tilting the rotors while keeping the aircraft stable. Once you get past 60 deg increase the throttle so that you remain stable and tilt some more. It just takes practice. I probably didnât say anything you donât already know. To slow down quickly also reduce the throttle while pulling back the stick.

So exactly how is this done in the Osprey? Couldnât see it mentioned in the manual. Usual MSFS method also doesnât work.
Not supported yet. We have been unable to make it work using the regular methods with the Osprey displays (these are not programmed as most other aircraft)
Thatâs a big issue for me. I purchased on the basis that you posted a year ago it was coming in an update and reasonably assumed it would of been implemented by now. Is this actively being worked on or is it stuck like this?
It is still on the list of things we would like to implement in a reasonable timeframe. Some of the gauges may need some rework to support new features (such as this one)

Thatâs the whole point. Itâs been over a year since you said it was coming so itâs way beyond what would be considered a reasonable timeframe already. This is shockingly bad support from Miltech. Words mean nothing without action. Letâs have a firm commitment.
Unfortunately, it is not a straight-forward change as it requires some significant modifications to the code. It is also a feature that we have never prioritized as it is only requested by very few customers (âhigh complexity/low impactâ sort of prioritization). The updates have focused on improving upon the flight model, which has improved significantly from the first release, as well as multiple modeling/texturing improvements all throughout.
Given the requests, weâll prioritize the update higher on the things to do, but canât promise any ETAs at this time.

How did you move it? I canât move mine.
Despite the many INOPs I think the Osprey is one of the most fun planes to fly. However, something definitely seems wrong with the position of the landing lights⊠they appear to be reversed 180 degrees.

My biggest need is those popout Avionics screens. Itâs not even in the hangar at present but stuck out the back gathering dust until Miltech make good on old promises.

These are in fact accurate. Wasnât able to find any photos of the lights extended, but hereâs a photo of the lights retracted. They swing 90 deg with the dome pointing forward when extended:

Ok, thanks for the explanation! My bad, they looked a little strange in that position. Anyway, congratulations on the plane⊠I just got it and itâs a lot of fun to fly.
