Default Flight sim.

I am using ambrosia Aerochopper. I think it's a good, though old, flight sim. It does not do wind good at all, though so I am always in calm air... I usually practice in 15-10 MPH wind with my heli. But yesterday I was in a 5 MPH wind!! I think that's where the difference is.

My head speed is also fairly low, I've heared that's bad for wind.
I've been doing short burst of nose in a nd side in at 6 inches for fun. I can get side in with the nose of the heli to my left fairly easy. Nose in isn't too hard either, it side in with heli nose to the right that's tough!!

I got my orientation down it's those small corrections that are hard. I'm not used to making so many corrections for such a simple act. I have been making small smooth blended corrections. Should I do that or seperate the corrections to one axis at a time?

I'll be flying in no wind today and tomorrow, too. I am going to Missouri to visit my dad on his horse ranch and there is never any wind there. I fly in wind here 'cause that's all I got! If I didn't fly in wind I'd never be flying, save for every other week when I go to Missouri.
