Do you mean using X-Plane would significantly help? If it is, then I might try it indeed...

x-plane Helicopters fly more like real helicopters than msfs helis do.

That said, and because of this, I find flying helicopters in x-plane to be more challenging.

Best heli simulation would be dcs black shark, but then you just have the one chopper and it's a military sim.

Here's a good article on how to fly choppers in x-plane.

As niels says - you can't fly a heli without a full set of controls.

Hi Dominic,

Check out the below if you have some spare time and are not afraid of some serious DIY:

A helicopter setup made out of what looks to me like a Saitek (X52??) stick and throttle and a set of pedals, all integrated on a sturdy pvc pipe frame.

Looks great to me and may be just what you are looking for (as well as for others perhaps)!

Cheers,
Stef

Thanks Stef - looks like a really good low cost solution  ;)
