Very old. Please consider to upgrade to 0.9.8.

That's tough. Whatever you do, it won't be much fun. A joystick and pedals
(or at least a js with twist axis instead) is almost mandatory for helicopter
flying. And joysticks are cheap enough to keep it that way.

The collective controls are reversed in comparison with a fixed wing
throttle: pull to raise, push to sink. That's also true for the PgUp
PgDn keys. You need to push the collective down (repeated PgUp) before
you start the turbines.
