Possible for user to make heli collective controls more responsive?

Recommended Posts

I use mouse and keyboard to fly helicopters. (Don't tell me to get a joystick or HOTAS or whatever.) I use F to raise collective, and A to lower collective, and nothing for the Collective Analogue controls.

 

When I press F or A, there is a brief pause, then the collective slowly starts to rise or fall. It is very slow and I know that in a real helicopter this can be done much faster. (Just watch some hog hunting vids on youtube!)

 

Any way to get under the hood and speed this up? (Yes, my windows control panel keyboard thing is set to minimum pause time before repeat)

 

(Actually one trick I use is to set SPACE to analogue collective raise, which instantly snaps it to exact middle position, but this is not really satisfactory)

 

Can this be adusted via scripting or something?

PS Watch how fast the collective can be manipulated in a real helicopter:

If that link fails for some reason, search for "Pork Choppers Aviation - 468 Hog Helicopter Hunt (no music)" on youtube

I agree that it is very slow in response, but it hasn't always been bad, i think it has something going wrong in the configs, maybe overlapping binds. Did you ever resolve your issue?
