    @XxGAMExZERTERxX Thank you for your kind instructions!
    @NUCLEARBOMB93 'Gyro effect' make it hard. The tendency to roll, which induced by gyro effect, get stronger when VTOL slider is raised and when the helo gets much speed. rolling and yawing occurs with your pitching operation due to Gyro effect too. You should get used to perform counteraction to tame brutal gyroplanes like single rotor helicopters.

    @NUCLEARBOMB93 Helis in this game are not easy to fly so its hard to explane, its best to mess around with the controls, you should get used to it over time, trust me it took me about 5 hours to learn the controls of helis in SimplePlanes, Practice,

    Ps. I miss-red your post as i replyed saying about AG not about the controls, Sorry

    @NUCLEARBOMB93 Hello, AG stands for Activate Group "Number" so for Example you whould say "AG3" and that whould mean "Activate Group 3", I Hope i helped, Ps Use NUM LOCK to enable the Number keypad, then use 1 to 8 for the groups, ~Zerter

    @Benkelmans I didn't check this on mobile. BTW, this one is hard to steer still on PC coz of Gyro Effect. plz utilize Pitch/Roll Trim [AG6/AG7+Trim].
