I was wondering how to hover. Is there a way where you can control both the collective and the joystick.

Hovering takes practice. There is no one set way to hover in FS2002. However, what works for me is bringing the power up to about 70 % or so using the F3 key, lifting off the ground, and making constant adjustments with the joystick and F2 and F3 keys.

This website has some amazing videos.

herpa2003 dont you have a throttle on your joystick? Flying helicopter is childs play with a throttled joystick, because what you want to do with the throttle is instant on joystick, foward for more power etc. where as using the keys takes more thought. bugger using the F1-F4 keys!Comment

Actually, I don't. My joystick is pretty old, but after reading what you said about a throttled joystick, I think it may be time for an upgradeOriginally posted by steve181
Do you have any recommendations?

Logitech Wingman. It's an amazing joystick, with a throttle lever. It has force feedback, which you can choose to use or not use."The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."

I brought a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick it was $66 USD, that was a few years ago so it would be much cheaper now. I was going to buy the microsoft force feedback one but it was much more expensive, i was so tempted though after hearing that you can feel the planes wheels hit the runway, feel turbulence, feel the rotor vibrations all through the joystck. Both have a throttle, and both are microsoft, which is good because its a reliable brand and extremly compaible with flight simComment
