Uh, there's always a delay between control input and actual movement in helicopters. That's why you always have to be ahead of the heli, not just reacting to it. The Dodo was specifically programmed to simulate that control delay.
I'm not talking about actual movement. I'm talking about the aircraft movement (i.e. not speed or anything).
Consider this: get in the air in a somewhat stable hover. Push the cyclic fully forward in a very quick motion. The 206 very slowly banks forward. If that is accurate, please correct me, but I seriously doubt it.

There is that and he probably forgot to switch on the hydraulics and/or to set the realism knob to 5.
The hyd: might be. Realism: are you kidding me?
*Update on the hyd: The hyd was indeed off and has improved the flying, but still my thoughts stand.

Yup, plenty. I could start the helicopter from Cold & Dark, fly successful missions, land and shut down, even without a checklist if I had to. I could even fly it with all the computer assistances on the left pedestal switched off. It's been a while, though. And the point still stands: the Ka-50 is no good to me when I can't use it in the FSX regions that I wanna fly in.
Well, I have around 3500 hours on the Ka-50 and several flights in several helo's around my area (and flying it, with pilot sitting next to me, giving controls to me occasionally), so that's gotta say something.
