I concur the other guy saying this is a total game changer. Wow! It was so tiring flying helicopters just holding the joystick. Thank you good sir o7

Holding the stick forward was the worst. When I figured out that trim could be adjusted, I did nothing but fly helicopters in the sim for a couple months straight - and make this video.

Thanks a ton, being trying to figure this out for a long time. As stated a game changer for flying helicopters in MSFS. BTW, I also found Increment Collective, and Decrement Collective. It's amazing for trimming Up and Down path, and especially for me softer landing and smooth take offs, using the Collective trim. It still takes some practice, that for sure. Thanks again for a great video.

You are welcome. I use trim all the time when flying helicopters in MSFS and it makes flying them so much easier and more fun.

what about "rudder" trim, tail-rotor trim(pedals)?? I need that also!

I especially like the reference to free materials funded by taxpayers. There is quite a bit that we miss out on because it's boring government stuff.

Prior to the year 2000, most FAA materials were boring with black and white photos. Along came updates to many FAA handbooks after the year 2000 with COLOR PHOTOS! Back then they were not free in PDF form as they are today.

Ah thank you very much! But how is the tail rotor trimmed and where is the force-trim function? The tail rotor is the most important aspect, I cannot twist against the feather of the joystick for half an hour while flying to keep it from turning in circles :D
@thecorporatepilotdad3 ай бұрын
Unfortunately, there isn’t a binding for tail rotor trim in the sim. When at normal cruise speeds, little to no tail rotor input should be needed.

X-Plane had a really cool feature where you could hold a button and then move your joystick to the default position and when you then release the button it would trim the heli to whatever position your joystick was in before you pressed the button, so you didn't have to do it this way, I wish we had this in MSFS too
