Are you struggling with cyclic sensitivity in MSFS 2024 helicopters? I get asked about this all the time! So this guide is for you! I'll walk you through three methods to set up your cyclic stick, ensuring you experience smooth progression as you hone your helicopter skills. *Level 1: Low Sensitivity* - Perfect for absolute beginners learning helicopter basics. Ideal for lightly-sprung or non-centering sticks, though it might feel "mushy" for experienced simmers. *Level 2: Extremity Deadzone* - Great for simmers with some experience. Suited for heavily-sprung sticks, as it requires less deflection during hover. A balanced option for intermediate pilots. *Level 2.5: Special Blend* - Combines low sensitivity with some extremity deadzone. Excellent for helicopters like the Cabri, which need significant forward cyclic to get moving. *Level 3: Linear Control* - The ultimate challenge! Achieve 1-to-1, linear control across the joystick's entire range. This method offers the most realistic response but is very challenging for beginners. *MSFS assists:* all off *Add-on:* 'Input Viewer' is available on flightsim.to - https://flightsim.to/file/14925/input-viewer *Aircraft:* Guimbal Cabri G2, available in all editions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 *Scenery:* Mt Beauty, Australia (YMBT), default scenery in MSFS 2024 *CPU:* Ryzen 7700X *GPU:* 7900XT *Controllers:* MS FF2 non-centering stick; CH Pro Throttle; Thrustmaster Pendular pedals. *Chapters:* 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Level 1, Lower Sensitivity 05:46 - Level 1 demo 10:13 - Level 2, Extremity Deadzone 12:13 - Level 2 demo 15:56 - Level 2.5, Special Blend 17:58 - Level 3, Linear 18:53 - Level 3 demo 23:17 - Two Bonus Tips! #MSFS2024 #helicopter #flightsimulator
