w.i.p Apache (George Pilot) ability to steady hover is very poor

[BIGNEWY]

I have a report open for the yaw, just need to be patient. We will continue tweaking during early access 

thanks

Thank you, please make it a priority before adding new stuff.

Me too, I'm having the same problem, George cannot hover or fly worth anything.

Just had this issue, lowered the wind to zero and he holds a stable hover with zero movement at all. Also I gave him a untrimmed aircraft on top of that and he had zero issues holding the hover when I switched upfront 

EDIT: tested again with trim and he hovered fine, then I added 6 knot winds at 33ft and the yawing came back. 0 Turbulence as well

when i go in the front seat goerge is hovering ok no issue there but when i switch back and try to fly the apache all the controls are bugged, like george is still trying to take over while i am flying. this is tested in mulitplayer but also happens on nevada training ramp

Did you reset the trim?

Just tested. It is working fine for me. It took about a second to get control and it was not as chaotic as it was a few months ago. Even with wind. I was quite surprised that I did not struggle at all, because I was expecting a bit of a struggle. And there was no need to reset the trim either.

But I'm not playing DCS that often at the moment. So maybe I was just lucky.

The only time I have noticed problems with George as pilot is when I am operating at high elevations with a heavy load.  I start sitting in the pilot's seat and when reaching the target I pull into a hover.  With the higher elevation and load, I require around 100% torque to maintain hover.  Then I switch to the CPG seat.  The aircraft then tries to maintain the hover I initiated, but then slowly loses altitude until almost a ground level.  If I issue a George command to increase altitude, he acknowledges, but the altitude never increases.  This appears to be the correct response, since George refuses to over-torque the engines.
