January 1, 20242 yr I wish I was more into helicopters in MSFS, because that looks lovely. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
January 1, 20242 yr Commercial Member The throttle and idle stop on this model can be mapped to your hardware. All other bindings are functional as well and 3 panel variants are my favorite features.
January 1, 20242 yr I’ve got the Airbus TCA and the Boeing yoke… I really want to get into heli’s but I always fail at the most basic control setup. Are these controllers okay for heli flying and if so, are you able to recommend a video or literature where it covers the ideal setup? Thanks
January 1, 20242 yr The TCA should be doable, the yoke not. Use the TCA throttle(s) for collective, and another axis (or two) for throttle. Cyclic assigned to stick. Z-axis on the stick for anti-torque. “Return to center” on the stick/“rudder” is less than ideal. Either “Force Feedback” or “stays in the spot you leave it” is better. At the very least, you can use the TCA to decide if it’s worth buying another set of controls for Heli flying.
January 12, 20242 yr I'm pretty impressed with the R66. To be blunt the earlier Cowansim helis for MSFS have failed to impress: their flight models just seem like far, far too much of a compromise. Especially the AS350. But the R66 feels like a heli and behaves like one; it behaves very closely to what helicopters feel (or felt, I haven't touch X-Plane in a while) like in X-Plane. And that is a huge compliment. If you want to explore helicopter fight in MSFS then the Cowan R66 is a great option IMHO. Unstable but predictable but also easy enough for even beginners (you're going to need pedals though). I like it a lot, and hoping the expertise applied here gets invested into his earlier releases.
January 12, 20242 yr Cowan helis use the default flight model, makes sense that earlier models haven’t benefited from in-sim improvements yet. Hopefully they get updated soon.

Hopefully they get updated soon. Quite right. I really hope that the anti-torque inputs can start functioning they way they ought to in FS 24.
