Helicopter flight characteristics are too stable

Hi Joe!

Thank you for your feedback!

Oh! it's just fine! critique, inputs, feedback is mostly welcome, especially when it comes to professional discussion about the core of the projects which is the flight dynamics aspects

It is important to understand the artificial stability in X-Plane...it is not necessarily an aid to make life *easier*. It is an additional layer which was created (side by side with the traditional aspects of artificial stability systems in specific aircraft models) to allow a better control over the physics...as X-Plane without it (and with it), is still not *real world*...with quite many variables and effects missing, causing some parts of the flight envelope to be partially covered, and as you go towards the margins, weird things happens.

In addition to that, as you said, the range of controllers and control setup must be reasonable, as most of the users are not using pro-hardware. So it should be reasonably flyable with a modified (or unmodified) joystick as well, and without forcing the user tailor himself control curves.

So it is an act of balance...but with a clear red-line of not crossing the professional aspects of aircraft engineering, performance, flight and control (within the plausible margins of X-Plane).

Your note/feedback is of course listed now and it will be processed/evaluated along the way, as the development process is a continuous effort for the projects.

Thanks again for reaching out and for your feedback!
