performance hit with helos

Why is it every time I load up a helicopter my sim performance degrades to a point where I have a stutter fest? Do helos use up that many more resources?

Thanks,

It might not be the models at all. Do you have any 3rd party effects installed? I'm wondering if it's a rotor wash effect.

On the other hand, the physics being modeled with the downwash and such may also be taking a toll on resources...
 
Hi Tom, No extra effects installed here. I do have a custom set of helo controls and am wondering if that could be causing the hit. It's frustrating because I can't even use the controls now as it's almost impossible to fly a helo with stuttering going on.
