I’ve also seen this problem with the Taog UH-1.H, except at all collective positions. The Ng also wildly fluctuates with the torque.

I am having the same issues but I am in dev mode so I don’t know if it is something on my end or is that is just how the Airbus power fluctuates when the collective gov switch is set. Please advise.

I also get power fluctuations with the h125. I have checked all bindings. Question on previous comment, does governor set mean on or off. The h125 doesn’t have a governor right

I am just not an expert. However , controlling the Airbus H 125 is science, as it seems. My gear, Honeycomb Alpha, Honeycomb Bravo, Thrustmaster rudder pedals AND a thrustmaster joystick aswell as the keyboard and mouse seem to do the trick.
Bravo Honeycomb i have set up with a lever for the throttle and the collective, a switch for idle and flight. If the throttle and collective levers are moved simultaneously from idle to ,+/- 60% power than there are no wild fluctuations. The collective lever apparently needs to be moved with the same % to avoid wild behavior. Does it make sense believing throttle and collective are combined in one lever/stick and this is simulated? The collective does function flawless provided you do not use the full radius of the lever. With some 10-25% plus or minus,considering the position in relation to the throttlelever, the collective gives good control. Increasing, decreasing speed and altitude is done by moving both levers, again, simultaneously. .
As for the trim. I have set up the Thrustmaster joystick axis for the cyclic and buttons for longtitudal and lateral trim,and this seems to work. Only looking for a binding to reset the trims to 0 with one click.
Perhaps all but realistic but it gives me good control.Only a pity the mirrors do not work. it forces to use external view and some guessing where to drop your cable to hook up cargo and drop it in the blue circle :face_with_monocle:
Any advise on improving bindings, do let me know

After resetting the Honeycomb Bravo bindings i noticed following:
Throttleposition. Keep at the indent position, with the powershandle in flight position (idle or flight position. The collective lever than can be used in its full radius.
