Transition to/from ETL feels very abrupt after last patch

As the title states:  It feels like the transition to and from ETL states has become extremely abrupt with the last patch.  The torque/pedal load especially feels like it's a binary condition tied to the ASI needle.

I noticed this particularly flying one of the "go land on a ship in a storm" instant action missions.  Hovering in ground effect with the nose into the wind, the helicopter behaved as if it were in forward flight (as expected with a 30 kt wind), but hovering with the wind behind the 3/9 line, the helicopter suddenly 'switches' and behaves as if it were hovering in calm conditions: about half a boot of left pedal is required (regardless of which side the wind is on), and the wind doesn't seem to push he helicopter across the ground very much, the same 20% aft/left position which works for a calm hover was also holding position in the wind.

The new performance profile has exaggerated the power requirements in translational flight.
The huey now requires far too much power at low speeds, and far too little power at 60knots, this causes a massive torque change as you gain speed.

the graph visualizing this can be found in this thread
