George moves sideways below 70 feet: how to stop him?

[flavnet]

Hello everybody. I report that George pilot is unable to maintain stable hoovering below 70 feet. I don't understand why but George always moves the helicopter to the right very very slowly but at a speed enough not to keep the lock fixed on the target (even if I have activated LMC). Therefore, even when illuminated by the laser, the target leaves the pointer frame and so the missile does not hit him. I tried the HB mode by moving the helicopter sideways to the left to compensate for this strange movement, but it is even worse because, as soon as I stop giving the command to move left, the "dear" George in response increases the speed of movement to the right ( the pendulum effect is not compensated for by George). This is a problem that ruins the simulation because I as a CPG, despite being able to get the helicopter close to a SAM at a very low altitude, then I am unable to lock it due to the continuous lateral movement of the helicopter. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Have you checked the wind? I've just done a test at 50ft and he's pretty damn good in calm air. I changed the weather and added a 12 knot breeze and he alternated between steady and a slight drift depending on the wind direction relative to the aircraft. Sometimes he'd slide right and sometime left, but never that fast that i wouldn't have been able to track a target. I saved the (very boring) tracks if you want to have a look.

Heh. I would say George has the ability to hold a hover a lot better than most humans could muster. Careful what you wish for, or they might simulate a little more wobble into his technique.

Are you using LMC? I find that any drift he has is very steady, and LMC does a great job countering it.

Please include a short track replay example if possible. 

George seems ok for me in a hover.
