It feels like I have to use less anti-torque pedals in Msfs 2024 then Msfs 2020 when flying Taog's different helicopters. (I don't use the default helicopters and of course no assistans) Is that a bug or are the dynamics changed that much between those two?

The flight dynamic definitely changes in MSFS 2024. Initially, many articulated it as "easier" instead of "more realistic". I think the later is more plausible. Not only Taog's helos, we can have similar impressions with other helos too

I'm no expert, but I know one real world heli pilot who says 2024 helicopter dynamics are improved, but I haven't even seen details (Look up belatu42 on youtube).

To me (a non expert) everything feels less twitchy and more predictable.  I know helicopters are twitchy for real, but 2020 felt really hard to fly.  It isn't like 2024 is easy, just more consistent and less "nervous".  

I noticed the same thing with light GA fixed wing aircraft too.  Not a massive change from 2020, but just less twitchy.  I remember in 2020 I could never quite get the sensitivity to feel right.  

Again, I am NOT a real pilot.  I'm also using a $100 joystick (Winwing), not an expensive setup.  

I will say that sometimes people think "more difficult" = "more realistic", and that's not always the case.  I feel like if real helicopters were this hard to control, I should be a lot more nervous when they fly overhead.  🙂
