Helicopter Pilots - Can you maintain speed indefinately with this mod?
-THIS IS BASED ON THE CURRENT MOD BUILD 21MAY2017-

I've been going back and forth with Deva on this, no matter what I do, in any helicopter, I cannot maintain airspeed without constant input now. I'm thinking it is something to do with the more freedom he placed in the mod to allow heli pilots to adjust speed.

Is anyone else having trouble maintaining speed with no input. Please don't just say "No, you just don't know how to fly," jump in game, take off, get up to speed, turn the autopilot on and watch what happens.

My experience is the ship will immediately begin to level out and speed with slowly be lost, the loss becoming quicker the longer it is left unchecked.

Here's a video I made for Deva illustrating my experience.

Good news for you :)
version 1.7 will be for Helis

Current plan
- Speed fix
- Bringing the pitch to 0 degrees after controller is released (like in fixed wing version)
- Adding criteria i.e. autopilot kicks back in only if pitch is between -+5 degrees and controller is released (collective, pedals, cyclic and throtle released)
- Any other suggestions?
