Hello! I had the opportunity to have my helicopter 'pit evaluated by a flight instructor and his only downcheck was the "dead zone" in the cyclic. I read the FSUIPC doc and I was a bit confused: it said "ease off" on a setting. It wasn't clear which value was being referred to and I'm not sure what "easing off" meant.
The instructor noted that, to keep an R-22 under control in a hover, "dime-sized" movements were all that were needed. Given the lenght of my cyclic, I'm not sure this is possible, but I would like instantaneous reaction when I do move the stick. I have a little time in real helos and I know what he's talking about: it's not so much about moving the cyclic as thinking about it. If you have to consciously move it, you're probably over-controlling.
Thanks!
My setup: simcontroller 'pit (www.simcontroller.com), Quad-core Intel (2.66 overclocked to 3.16), Asus HD 5870 graphics (20% overclock), FSX, Win 7 (64-bit), 4GB. I am using the latest, greatest versons of FSUIPC (pay version) and HTR (Helicopter Total Realism).
