Absolutely Loving the new helicopter flight model.

So I have to say that the helicopters are outstanding with the last patch. I still really want the full startup procedure and all working dials, but I'll take what I can get.

Here's what I've noticed.

1) Flares are finally working as they should

2) Sounds are emitting for AA lock warning and incoming AA

3) Rockets aren't automatically destroying the MROT anymore, so depending on where you're hit you can actually Autorotate to the ground safely.

4) Auto rotation is much easier now, since the blades don't die down like a simple engine off w/ a blade lock, they actually extend out and give the pilot time to properly Auto Rotate.

5) Anti Torque loss doesn't cause you to spin at god awful rates.

6) During anti torque, the helicopter will increase spin when adding collective, and decrease spin when lowering collective.

These have absolutely made my day.

I still cant get the chopper to drop as fast as I want. Almost like a ball in water, cant push it down.

KingScuba are you using the dev build by any chance?

On stable I can't get the chopper to react to collective with increased or decreased yaw.

im playing stable, and i cant say I'm having that issue. The collective is working like normal for me personally. I'm using a joystick for flying, but using Q+Z for my collective.
