X56 HOTAS & Helicopter Setup

[irwinmfletcher9]

Hello,

I have an X56 HOTAS that I am using to try and learn how to fly helicopters. However, I can’t find a definitive resource on how to bind, anything, but especially the collective and throttle bindings on the X56.

Should the Collective be assigned to one throttle lever (left, for example) and the throttle to the right lever?

I just watched two videos and each did it completely differently.

Can anyone help me get my X56 set up properly for the G2 helicopter? I’ll start with that one and practice before moving on to bigger helicopters.

Thanks in advance!

I am still stuck on how to properly configure my X56 for use with helicopters and MSFS. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you can ask in this topic for help:

X-56 (or any HOTAS) controls for helicopters

Hey all, I’ve been searching, but didn’t find anything… Is there any topic/video/site giving a base control configuration for HOTAS and helicopters? (I have an X-56). I’d like to learn to fly these things, but right now I don’t even know which controls to assign (and where!) Thanks!
