Controller input mess when switching between pilot and CP/G (and back)

[Lange_666]

I'm having quite a bit of problem with the controller inputs when switching between pilot and CP/G (and back).

Pilot: controls move according to my controllers input.
I'll take the collective as an example, let's say that during flight as pilot in control, i put the collective at 70%

CP/G: he has also a collective/cyclic to fly the helicopter (but i never managed to get those to control the heli yet, if possible...how ? (inputs are correctly set in the control assignment and match the pilot ones but then never move or do anything).

Situation:
- Pilot's collective input = 70%
- Move to CP/G seat: Apache starts to fly on what inputs now when i have NOT messed with the AI helper?
- AI has changed the collective input (based on what command?) while i'm on the CP/G seat.
- Switching back to pilot seat and then things get messy controller wise since the collective has moved in the sim but not in my real world. If the difference is hugh, the Apache can become uncontrollable at this point.

This problem occurs while trying to simulate a plane with 2 operators by only one person.

I also don't understand why the CP/G needs to communicate through the AI helper with the pilot control causing control input problems when switching back to the pilot seat (because of mismatch inputs between sim and reality).

Solution for me is the give CP/G full control through collective/cyclic to fly the heli instead of the AI helper. When doing this there is no input difference when switching between seats.

And AI helper controls need to be put on the HOCAS to somehow for easy control (and certainly in VR) so why not give control to the CP/G HOCAS instead to fly and heli?

Press "C"

Like the Hind, the controls are stowed until needed. When you press C you'll see the cyclic unfold in the usable position. Then you can fly from the front seat.

I think when you switch to the front seat George as pilot will try to maintain heading, altitude and speed according to whatever the aircraft was at when you handed control over. When you switch back you just need to be a bit quick to correct any mismatch in the George controls and your own physical ones.
