Cheap joysticks with helicopters in MSFS 2024

Entry-level, affordable joysticks are perfect for diving into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. But what if we want to take to the skies in helicopters? While these joysticks are ideal for highly-automated airliners with their strong spring mechanism, helicopters present a unique challenge.

In this video, I'll show you how to optimize your sprung joystick for a smooth helicopter experience. We'll cover sensitivity curves, button assignments, and I'll demonstrate hover-taxiing and flight maneuvers. I'll be using my Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Sidestick Edition, but these tips apply to many entry-level joysticks.

What You'll Learn:

Customizing sensitivity curves for helicopters.
Configuring button assignments for optimal control.
Step-by-step hover-taxi and flight demonstration.
