Configure your controller as shown:

Note that in the above image the throttle has been reversed. This is optional and has been performed

so that power is increased as the lever is pulled back rather than pushed forward, as is correct for

helicopter operation.

Important note: The above illustration shows a “Rotary 1” axis connected to the “Propeller axis” event.

This event is used by FSX to control the helicopter engine throttle. In this instance, the input is a thumb

wheel control on a

Saitek X45 throttle controller.

You will only be able to assign an axis to this event if

your joystick device includes another axis, (which may be listed as a “slider” or “rotary” axis), in addition

to the regular throttle axis, (which you should assign to the main “Throttle axis” event for use to drive the

helicopter’s collective pitch control.)

DodoSim FS9 Advanced 206 users: Unlike the set-up for the DodoSim Advanced 206 for FS9, this

helicopter uses FSX’s standard helicopter control axis mappings.

A controller/joystick with separate axes available for collective and throttle will give the most rewarding

experience. (Such as the Saitek X45/X52, which include additional rotary axes.)
