Advice on minimising controls issues when switching seats

Hi several times I have had real issues ( nearly crashing) when swapping between seats due to mismatch of presumably what george is doing and my physical controls.....

 

Anyone got any tips on how to minimise this?

I have my CPG flight control axes mapped/mirrored to my pilot's. Cyclic, collective, and pedals. When in the CPG seat, I request controls from pilot (as CPG), start moving the helo to where I want to go and only *then* switch to pilot seat. It's then a seamless transition. All this is before the SAS saturation thing, so no idea how it's going to hold up with trim etc.

Cool, was not aware you "request controls", that will obviously be a huge help.....( I do have my controls mirrored already) thanks!

press "C" to request controls.

An other idea is to mimic roughly the correct axis movement George has, by looking at the "axis overlay" (right ctrl + enter) and then switch seat.

Though i think the "request control" variant is the smoother one.

As far as I can tell, and if you don't care about the LARP-ing "realism" of it, there is also no functional need to switch out of the CPG seat once the bird is started. At least in DCS it seems you can fly it as adequately (or adequately enough, anyway) from the CPG seat.
