Tailwind / Hovering backwards

[Sandman1330]

Something about the Kiowa FM has bugged me since it came out. When hovering with a moderate tailwind, or hovering backwards, the aircraft does.... something I don't understand. The rotor RPM spikes off the chart, the aircraft starts falling as if it's in VRS (but it's not), and yaw becomes nearly uncontrollable.

I feel like this might be trying to simulate LTE, or VRS. But it can't be VRS because it occurs with no descent rate, and it can't be LTE because the pedals are still effective. Neither explains the spike in rotor RPM.

I've attached a track.

What the heck is this??? In 2000+hrs flying real helicopters I've never seen or heard of anything like this. Please tell me it's a bug and it will be fixed, it's extremely annoying - combat does not always allow one to hover into wind (the enemy could be downwind from you!)

Can you create another track that doesn't need mods? This one apparently needs the UH-60L mod.

Sorry! Here's one attached.OH58D tailwind.trk

Thanks for the track! That looks very odd indeed and I have no explanation for this kind of behavior either.

Looks like a bug to me. @Polychop Simulations can you take a look at this?
