Anyone else have a go in that attack heli sim? It's a prototype so I didn't expect miracles, but the big disadvantage was the extremely notchy collective. One tester had said that the lever kept dropping whenever he took his hand off, but the resulting correction the engineers implemented made it far too stiff and notchy. Before I got in it I watched one amateur crashing it into the scenery, and then found he was the software engineer - and you'd think he would know how to fly it.

It felt so bad that afterwards I had to blag a sit in the HEMS 109 just so I could feel a smooth one (arf arf).
