I cant find any "collective cut" assignment in FS2020. Throttle cut is a different thing although it works with some helicopters? The reason is assigning collective cut makes touchdown easier. Thanks -
After my refund request went unanswered by Steam, I decided to cancel it and give the sim another shot. Honestly, it’s a lot better now. Even though I experienced a CTD during final approach, I still managed to get a solid 30-minute flight in with the 172. What really caught me off guard was the helicopter—it’s so much fun to fly! Surprisingly, it feels a bit easier compared to MSFS 2020 and XP11, but still enjoyable. I also turned off all the assistance settings, and even then, it still feels quite manageable. Not sure if it's realistic though... I’m also impressed with how good the sim looks, even on medium settings (with Buildings and Clouds bumped up to High). If my refund had gone through, I was planning to switch to X-Plane 12 for its well-known helicopter physics, but for now, I’m pretty happy sticking with this one.

Keeping my system free of the usual helis I have enjoyed so much the last few years and concentrating – for now – on just the H125 and Super Puma. Both seem beautifully modelled, I appreciate little distractions like the ability to open hatches etc during the preflight. But cannot quite get me head around flying either of these in a satisfactory manner. Some helis in MSFS 2020 (Cabri, the B407 with the Simfocus mod <- important that, and the brilliant Taog UH-1 and Lama) are not too bad at all. I come from helicopters in X-Plane, which is pretty good at modelling the rotary wing flight dynamics; and of late some of the MSFS 2020 helis have – within reason – started feeling fairly good. I cannot quite say the same for the H125 (pity, I want to like it), yet. BUT this might just be my inability to fully dial in the controller profile. What I am curious about is how to trim for cruise flight (yes, yes, I know that doesn't exist in real helicopters, but sitting with a sprung stick pushed forward is not my idea of fun when you have so much world to look at 🙂). 2020 allowed us to use elevator trim, but this has no effect in 2024. Anyone have any ideas for this (short of buying new controllers)? Curious to hear the thoughts of others regarding heli flight in 2024. Regardless of whether it's default helicopters or third-party add-ons.

I'm just looking for heading/altitude hold, not a true autopilot. I set up Spad to turn the Chinook AFCS to "both" and press the correct heading hold/ baro altitude hold buttons and you can see them move in the cockpit, but the two buttons move and don't light up. Not sure AP is ready for prime time yet. Just updated it via Orbx the other day. Pretty much the same result using the msfs control bindings. Heading "seems" to hold but not altitude. https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/v/miltech-simulations-ch47d/product-information/recommended-hardware-configuration/keybinds-guide

Anyone know what happened? It's obvious he hit something, but it's hard to tell where.Never mind. Found a good description.

Good day folks, any idea what's up with the ODG offshore rigs project, I visited their website today and apparently it's down. For 5 years now I've been trying to create an account on their website to download the UK and US offshore rigs but no luck. Just wondering if anybody knows how to get around that... Or has a copy willing to share providing it's not Payware. Default rigs get boring after a while haha!!! Andre
