Helos

I have a couple of helos in CFS1 and I just cannot fly them! I put the throttle upto 80% and put the nose forward, but then the helo starts spinning uncontrollably. Is this meant to happen?

In real life yes! Try using some rudder to counteract the torque.

Brilliant - thanks. I don't as yet have a twist-grip joystick. I think that is something lese to add to my PC wishlist.

Thanks anyway!

I use a sidwinder gamepad, and it just takes practice. Set the rudder to the triggers on repeat. What are you flying? Rather than something small like a Bolko117 or MD500, try the  Fs98 Sikorsky S92 Helibus. Excellent. I learnt on it!
