genuine attempt at realistic helicopter controls, and it's rather painful yet satisfying to finally say it somewhat works.(somewhat). To fly this you will need to constantly keep your hand on the VTOL slider, about the upper half of the slider, so as to control the pitch of your tail rotor for directional control. Next use the trim tab/slider to adjust the pitch of the main rotor blades collectively, about halfway up the slider will start showing some effect(don't forget your tail rotor or you will crash immediately). then you can use the cyclic to adust your main rotor tilt(yes the gyro cheats this a-bit). Sorry it's not perfect, but somewhat realistic.
