September 17, 20214 yr I really would like to get into helicopter flying and doing some exploring, but which helicopter would be the easiest to fly using an xbox controller? ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XII ▪︎ Intel i9-10900K ▪︎ NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE ▪︎ 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro ▪︎ Windows 10 Pro (21H1) ▪︎ Samsung 970 EVO Pro 1TB NVME SSD (OS Drive) ▪︎ Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SATA SSD ▪︎ Seagate 4TB SATA HDD ▪︎ Corsair RMx 850W PSU
September 17, 20214 yr the freeware H135 works well with Xbox controller - a lot of fun when sightseeing… but start it up the normal way - then Xbox controller for the rest of the flight from takeoff…
September 17, 20214 yr I don't have an XBox controller but among the MSFS helis I own, the H135 is indeed most easy to fly, even using the advanced flight model. Actually, I find it quite fun to fly.

September 17, 20214 yr H145 is also very easy to fly, it’s the first sim chopper on any platform to actually keep my attention and keep me from flying fixed wing aircraft, it’s a ton of fun. Not sure on an Xbox controller though, however if you try the H135 and have success I suspect that would translate to the H145.

September 17, 20214 yr I use the Saitek pedals, a Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Stick, and a Saitek quadrant with an extension (originally intended as a throttle for jets) mounted on a little bench left to my seat. I made separate helicopter profiles for them.
