I have DCS, both Huey and KA50. Let's just skip the KA-50 part, as the counter rotating rotors are quite game-changing, not to mention the multiple autopilot systems.
Huey is a beast to be tamed and yes, you are right, it has no sophisticated fly by wire, so you need to counter pedal and such.
Good that you mentioned, I really enjoyed SAR4 and it felt somewhat realistic, I will revisit it.
Also tried the new FM in Arma3 and have the same issue with it what I have with eech, I just don't feel the weight.
Yes, EECH is still good enough, hope I can find some places to tweak.

On a side-note, dear Admin, shall we move this conversation into a separate FM thread, before we mess up this topic completely? smile
