Orca and Hellcat (armed) gain and lose lift randomly while hovering (Video added)

Description

Hello dear Bohemia crew!
I am in LOVE with the AFM, and I have noticed several issues that I would love to be fixed when you have some time. I know the AFM is not as popular as some of us would love to, but I am sure that those who are in love with it and use it always are anxious to see theese issues fixed. I am not a real pilot, but I am a Helo-lover, and I am quite sure theese are really issues to fix:

  • Orca and Hellcat (armed version) gain and lose lift randomly when hovering, even under ground effect (not moving the collective). The Hellcat (non armed version) works well.
  • Orca and Hellcat (armed version) reaction to antipar pedals is wierd. I would not know how to describe it technically, but I would say that the sensivity is not linear. It makes VERY difficult (excessively difficult) to make orbital flights (circular flights with nose pointed to the center) even in wind zero conditions. The non armed Hellcat does react fine.
  • Orca stays leaning slightly to the right when hovering (This would only happen in reality if the full charge of weight of the helo is placed in the right side).
  • Mohawk sensivity to cyclic and pedals inputs is excessive. Lowering it just a little would be more according to the weight of the helicopter.
  • Huron sensivity to pedal imput is probably too low.
  • Huron keeps auto-trim... why? :-/
  • All of them: When slingloading an object, they all make random sudden rolls to left or right, as if the helicopter was hit by an invisible elastic object. Sometimes just a little, sometimes it almost makes the helo turn upside down.

These problems make impossible to use those helicopters in multiplayer. Some of them make the helo VERY difficult to control, and some of them can randomly make you crash.
PLEASE solve them when you have a little time. You would make a lot of AFM lovers happy :)

Thank you for your attention.
Jose

Here´s a video showing some of the issues.

I will post a video about the slingloading problem, but it will take some more time because the frequency of the issue is lower.
