  1. My joystick is spring-centered so when I hold it twisted my arm hurts, but fortunately I have the Dodosim 206 which has cyclic force trim so that I can avoid workload when using the cyclic. The manual says autorudder can be enabled if your joystick can't be twisted or if you have no rudder pedals, but the helicopter still turns and the Dodosim 206 doesn't have anti-torque pedal force trim. Over Christmas I installed helicopter autopilot by Antti Pankonen and Dirk Fassbender into the Dodosim 206 but I found it hard to use because it's different to ordinary autopilot in fixed-wing aircraft (one difference I noticed is there's no airspeed hold adjustment knob) and some of the Dodosim 206 features had been affected by it, two switches were in the on position and I couldn't get them back to off until I rebooted FSX during the simulation. The only joystick I can find that looks like a basic joystick (example: Logitech Extreme 3D Pro) and isn't spring-centered is the Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2, although it's discontinued because of terrible sales it is still being sold on Ebay regularly.
  2. For those who don't have a twistable joystick or rudder pedals, auto rudder can be used for flying helicopters. I want to use auto rudder so that I don't strain my wrist (twisting the joystick) or my legs (using the rudder pedals), but unfortunately when I switch the auto rudder on, the helicopter still turns. Am I missing something obvious?
  3. I have the same problem, I'm trying to figure out what it is but I can't. A Windows update must have moved a file or something, so AISmooth was capable of managing AI traffic until now. 2015 this was posted and yet no one has replied to it for the past five years, this is so not helping. I'm due for a flight from Heathrow to Cape Town Intl in Simulator tomorrow for the Christmas period and I cannot afford to go-around again, never mind mid-air collisions and such.
