Thanks for the replies, it was as I suspected, and that also means that I can't learn much good from flying helicopters in FSX with the Logitech joystick I have since it has a very stiff centering spring. I do still have my old Logitech forcefeedback joystick, maybe that work better since it doesn't have a centering spring.
Mike, in your experience, what helicopter would be good for stable flights (for the pilot)? JetRanger, 500 or AStar? Speaking of helicopters and learning, I saw a Robinson today, and several other planes around Roskilde on our way home from shopping, man there were a lot of planes there today, just too bad I was being tailgated and couldn't stop and look (it was a tiny twisty backroad but the van driver didn't care, they never do). I also read an article in the novemeber 2006 issue of Flying that the writers plane had a light cover busted by a mechanic and they repaired it perfectly before he was to pick up the plane from it's service, but his Lexus got dented, scratched etc. at his garage and not even a sorry let alone repairs, this sounds a lot like what I experience here so I still say flying is better than driving. The other articles btw are also very enlightening about what mistakes not to make, even by veteran pilots, very educational and potentially life saving.
Oh yeah, about helicopters, is it more expensive to learn to fly a sling wing than a stuck wing?
