Fuel Saving? Any Thoughts on How I Messed Up?

[BluFinBima]

Hi,  

I am having a few problems with the Apache (under-statement).  I've returned to flying the Apache after a bit of a break. Everything worked as before in the Tutorial missions, but in game proper, I was having lots of problems with the flight controls, starting with the aircraft immediately moving backwards when the brakes were released, and no ability to move forward (although the in-game cyclic does move forward when the controller moves forward). Then I tried to increase the collective..... This is DCS 2.8.4.39259.1. All very strange.

I'm certainly not going to rule out that I've done something spectacularly dumb (please give me a pointer if you think this is the case).

Before going down the Bug route, it would be great to know if anyone else can reproduce this.
1)  Cold and Dark

2) Increase the collective

  The video is 30 seconds long BTW.

Thanks in advance.

Is the game flight model enabled by chance?

@NeedzWD40Many thanks for taking the time to provide advice.  I tracked down the option in the mission editor, and yes, that did fix the problem for one mission.  Who'd have guessed that option would have such a dramatic impact on the flight characteristics (obviously you did).  Anyway, I still have the problem with "Create Fast Mission".  I guess I need to hunt through options to see if there are global settings for Game Flight Mode.  Once again, many thanks for the assistance.

Look at DCS settings - gameplay and uncheck game flight mode. This is the global setting.

Thanks @corbu1, I opted for setting easyflight to false in options.lua which I'm guessing is the same thing.
