Coming from the last 5 years simming with x-plane in the vSkyLabs LongEZ and the last year started learning to fly helicopters with the vSkyLabs Cabri G2, I am finding the MSFS Cabri G2 level of systems implementation fitted to my needs from cold start to shutdown (except that the doors won’t open to let me out). As far as flight modeling, it is less responsive than the x-plane implementation (with default cyclic, collective, and tail rotor/pedal settings) but I felt the x-plane implementation was a bit overly sensitive so the MSFS Cabri G2 is “just right” for my skill level.
When I can hold a clean, level hover-taxi at the first turn out, hover taxi on the centerline back to parking, and set her down facing the desired direction I will feel ready to be “where […] the helicopter pilots [are]”
