• There seems to be an up tick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

JXT Simulations freeware Bell 505.

It's a nice looking model, but I can't control it either. Hopefully this will be fixed. The Taog Huey and the inibuilds Scout show that it is possible to create a nice flight model in MSFS. Maybe I'll use the Cowan B206 flight model with the 505 for the time being.

I tried just a while ago and I see what you both were talking about. It immediately went to a full right rotation and quickly became a real handful. With my thrustmaster I used full opposite "rudder"?, that got it back under control and I flew it like that for about 5 minutes then slowly released the pressure on the twist grip and it flew normally (kinda) for the remainder of the 15 minutes or so that I flew it.

One thing I did that probably exacerbated the situation was too much throttle. . .when I saw that and reduced it the Heli seemed to become a bit more tame.
 
I was able to control it, sort of, to fly a little ways, but a smooth descent and landing? Er, not so much. NC
