Maybe some friction would help as well. It must not be an expensive one. My aim is a Flight model, which is as realistic as possible. For those, who prefer an easier flight model, we should add to the "realistic" flightmodel some aid. The mentioned autopilot for the pedals (as in rc-helicopters, they have an "gyro" with a PD- or an PID-regulator). With the PID regulators the control input is directly the rotational speed. The easiest way is to modify the bo105.xml to mix the collective input to the pedals. (But in autorotation this function would have negative impact) This should be easy to implement in flightgear. Another point, where you could need assistance is the effect of fuselage and horizontal stab in the downwash of the rotor. If you vary the collective you have to vary the cyclic. This can be solved by adding the collective input to the cyclic input. Therefore I suggest to have to bo105, one realsitic and one easy one. > More realism is good, very good.

Maybe a tutorial "how to bo" ;-) is more missing than an "easier to fly bo"? Don't know.
