Explanation

Helicopter physical controls broken after new update.

After the new update, helicopter sticks feel very uncontrollable. I'm not sure what's exactly wrong with them, but they feel way worse than before the new update. I constantly get unexpected yaw left or right, and basic air maneuvers and stable hovering seem almost impossible now.

I think it has something to do with how the controller positional and rotational input is being transformed into helicopter input, or maybe it's because the heli controls now seem to be somewhat dependent on the physical stick model in-game. It's really hard to get a feel for what's exactly wrong, but it's clear to me that the previous system was way better.
