Well, no and yes. While there is no gauge or light to tell you the status of microswitch, you can look at AP yaw channel. If it does not counter-deflect when you yaw, microswitch is pressed in. It will move a little bit, to stabilise you, but if does not go all the way over, heading hold is not active.

More precise you are, more precise slew will be.

Try to make your own mission and test it that way. In my experience, a lot of problems stem from missions being bugged themselves.

I tested this on my short SP test mission. First time I got CTD as soon as George WASed RF Hellfires, but any subsequent test worked fine.

You hold consent to fire button for >0.5 seconds.

Same here, just did a quick test on that.

Invert does it for me. Are you confirming your choice with double OK? Sometimes people just cancel their choices without thinking about it? You can also do a repair.

I can confirm that for the Mi-8 IRL. Maybe -17 or -171 got steering, but I'm not aware of it. If we are talking about airplanes, front wheel is more stable, I fly both. For helicopters? I don't think there is much difference, since you have torque and tailrotor to contend with in the first place.

Great points, except both Mi-8 and 24 have castoring nosewheel, don't know about KA-50.

While this logic is sound, this removes a possibility of crew engaging friendlies. IMO, it does not matter whether I am flying with George or another human, we are always a team and share responsibility.

Was. ED took over Belsimtek in 2018. Huey is ED module.

No, but you can use 3rd party programs like voice attak or joystick gremlin to work around it. Doesn't work for 64.

You need to use keyboard to get from cut off to idle position.

This must be mission related. In my test mission, flares run without issues.

Did you reset the trim or you just used trim release? With center trim option, controls in game will freeze until you return your physical controls to center.
