It is impossible for me to avoid hot-starts because I have no throttle axis free on my x52 saitek. I have to use a button but even a small press makes it go past idle detent and beyond, I tried to decrease as much as I can when I hear the pop-up but it is too late. The devs have made this too difficult for persons that don’t own a dedicated helicopter hardware.
Otherwise very good machine , really a pity that they messed that up.
and yes I followed the procedure from the documentation. it is just my key presses that makes the throttle go too far and I can do nothing about it
I’ve also got an X52 rigged to a “crudimentary” collective setup. I use the dial axis circled in the picture and bind it as shown. Had the FlyInside 206 since last summer and in 100+ starts I’ve never had a hot start, but I’m also 10+ year veteran of the Dodosim 206, so I’m intimately familiar with the startup procedure.
