I got an idea from a X-Plane user that he removed the springs from his joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro).

I tried it in X-Plane and wow how easy to keep the ship under control !

Works great for me too !

excellent news; thanks :-)

The (or better: ) property is supposed to be a
joystick specific adjustment *only*. Hence it can't be moved to the
FDM config. But it should be possible to turn it off for helicopters.
Just add a block in the joystick driver file (like the
Cyborg-Gold-3d driver has) in which you check for the existence
of a /rotors/ property, and if it exists set the to 0 or another
value. But IIRC the Cyborg js didn't work well with the bo105 when
no value was used. I had tried that after deactivating the
centering spring. Need to try it again ...
