A cyclic should hold, release, trim, and talk back
FFB-Bridge models rotorcraft as rotorcraft: stable cyclic damping, real force-trim behavior, slow beep-trim movement, and physical cues for the rotor states that matter.
The same rotorcraft model across supported simulators
Helicopter support is built into the core force model and works across supported hardware.
Damping without a centering spring
Cyclic damping resists motion in proportion to movement, adding stability without dragging the stick back to an artificial fixed centre.
Release, reposition, and hold
Hold FTR to move freely, release it to establish the new held position, or walk that position slowly with explicitly assigned beep trim.
Feel the rotor state through distinct flight cues
ETL, VRS, two-per-revolution, retreating-blade stall, rotor rumble, and skid contact arrive as distinct cues you can tune or disable.
Fly a helicopter without launching the simulator
The guided helicopter finale runs the full rotorcraft sequence on the bench. Individual steps isolate damping, force trim, beep trim, and every rotor cue using repeatable temporary settings.
Nothing is mapped until you choose it
Choose Set up… for the FTR button, optional force-trim on/off button, or beep-trim 4-way control. Each opens the same guided modal, waits while device input is prepared, then animates only while a press or direction can be captured. Nothing is assigned automatically, and simulator keybindings are never changed.
Build a helicopter setup you can feel and verify
Start with a helicopter profile, assign only the controls you want, and run Flight Check before the first flight.
