Totally agree. Plus: when I try to land the Huron or just take away power from the rotors, suddenly the helicopter gets all wobbly and loses like 10-15 meter of altitude. If I wouldn't go on full throttle in this phase the Huron would crash like a stone!

Issue is still not resolved. Joystick deactivation also happens during singleplayer now.

Hi, as far as the freezing goes, I have that too when I go into the multiplayer gamespy serverlisting. It takes about 20 - 30 sec until I get so see the server list. Getting back to main menue won't take that long. But after that waiting time i get all servers listed so no problem with that.
(running the release build btw.)

Usually I start the game with -nologs and -showScriptErrors.

Hello the issue first occured to me with the 1.02 update of the game.
My current game version is 1.02.110654
