Need help with vertical rotation issue.

[Mattressi]

I remapped the controls to the buttons B and N and the choppers responded in the same way, like a rubber band was snapping them back, not allowing the rudder to work. I found that there were times when I could get the chopper to change direction slightly more but then the chopper would go back exactly to the point on the horizon that it was pointed at before. If the direction of the chopper was having an effect on the response due to the vertical stabilizers then wouldn't the direction of the chopper be affected at least a little bit??? The current behavior doesn't make sense to me and i'm surprised that it seems so rigid even on the relatively touchy controls of the Little Bird.

Hover in the helicopter and see if it works. Then, move forward slowly in the helicopter and see if it works (but a little less effectively). If this happens, then it's working exactly as it should. Anti-torque pedals only yaw the helicopter at low speeds and allow the helicopter to strafe at low speeds too. However, at high speeds, they don't do much. IRL, all I've noticed is that they slightly rolled the helicopter (an R22) at high speeds.

If this "rubber banding" still occurs at low speed, something is wrong. But it sounds like you're just expecting the helicopter to do something which it can't.

Yeah, I took a little bit to try it out to see whether the choppers were moving like that at low speeds and they weren't. I haven't flown any choppers since the battlefield 1942 expansion Desert Combat.
Sorry I got so hot-headed there.
Thanks for all the help !

No problem; I'm happy to help

I think the Desert Combat helis were what made me start loving helicopters - they weren't all that realistic, but they were just so damn cool
