Ordered a Helo collective control

[Navy Chief]

I have been flying helos more and more in MSFS, and once Miltech releases their CH-47, I know I'll be spending considerable time with that. I had looked at Collective controls made by a couple companies, I. E. Virpil, Komodo, but I can't afford their prices. I found a company called Simulation Devices (SimulationDevices.com) and bought one from them. Not inexpensive either, but less than the above-mentioned brands. NC

Very nice!
I also seem to be spending more time in Helicopters since they became available in MSFS and I have wondered if it's the use of VR that makes them so much more usable than in previous sims.

I know that is definitely true for me! It is so unbelievably real to fly in and around cities, beautiful countryside, and oftentimes just hover and appreciate the incredibly detailed scenery! NC

Is there a collective available in MSFS to be mapped? I use Virpil collective in DCS but FSX and P3D do not have that option available and I thought MSFS would be the same.

As I understand it, yes, although a lot depends on if the model is native or not:

I've had the simcontroller for years and it has been working great. I got the version without the seat and attached the controller to my own seat.

Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video.

In my case, I use a office chair for simming, and needed a way to attach the Collective (which itself has a bracket), so I bought this from Amazon, received and and installed. Should work perfectly:

You should see mine combined aircraft/helo/race car seat:-)
