Heli controls problem (yaw)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In 'Showcase' 'Helicopters' mission,the helicopter can be flown in a straight line but has very limited yaw control.

Vehicle initially responds to the tail rotor [Q],[E], but quickly returns to its original heading (feels as if the rotor is under similar control to the auto-hover function)ie. the vehicle resists rotating.

Vehicle can be rotated when in the auto-hovering state easily

Mission was able to be completed by engaging auto-hover whenever turning was req'd.

Combat was very difficult due to inability to point gun unless hovered

Helicopter's tail rotors aren't usually powerful enough to turn the helicopter when it is travelling at speed's greater than ~70km/h.

I had considered that but the issue continued during manual hover
