I love the fact I can do power on autos, but I have had verry little luck in successfully landing an autorotation. I do have 8 years of experience flying OH-58Ds. I finally realized the issue. The aircraft model has way too much friction on the ground, i.e. no slide. On the runway I attempted a run-on landing and it will not do one. It always noses over like there is glue on the runway. Can you adjust the ground friction to allow the metal skids to slid?
Thanks
Confirmed, real world heli pilot here too, skid/ground friction set way too high…can’t do a running takeoff. That would also explain why I can’t get the helicopter light on the skids
Follow up, it seems the the skid/ground friction is hard coded into MSFS. Same with the Cabri, tried to do a running takeoff, and it either wants to tilt or fly, not “skid”. One of the tasks in learning to fly a real helicopter is to do a running takeoff and running landing…very useful if you are heavy on hot/humid days . A real shame MSFS hasn’t coded this in , hopefully they will.
Could this be affecting liftoff and touching down as well? It seems that no matter how stable I am when I touch down, the skids actually making contact seems to be a sudden and harsh affair and 9/10 times there’s a jolt. Similarly when lifting off, I can’t seem to really get it light on the skids, even with the most gradual collective movement it still seems to rip itself off the ground.
I’m getting the same thing and I’m sure they have identified it as the same issue.
I am sure it is affecting liftoff and touchdown, I haven’t been able to lift off or touchdown smoothy either. There is some good news here, at least we know it’s in the software and we are not lousy pilots 
Well the “other” 206 out there isn’t as harsh in these situations so there’s hope!
I have just been testing a completely new ground physics engine for our 206. It is pretty amazing. Asobo’s FM is OK, but will not let us get to the realism we prefer.
We will be working on it, tomorrow and hopefully release it to our testers after that. Unless something unexpected bites us!
Stay Tuned!

Very excited to see the new ground physics!
The “other 206” uses the Asobo flight model I believe. The Flyinside has it’s own unique flight model which is why I prefer this one over the “other” one.
C-GMAL is correct. We do not use any of the Asobo model. Which is why we can add features and get the correct behavior from our helicopters. Lots more features to come!

Oh i have both and this one is by far the superior one, my only single nitpick is the ground friction, which is being worked on so zero complaints.
The last update fixed it. I can now do running takeoffs and landing, and my hover takeoff and landings are much smoother. Many, many, thanks !!
Looking forward to testing this during this weekend!
Flying from EGCL (Fenland Aerodrome) to EGBK (Sywell Aerodrome, Northamptonshire), UK.
I would agree, much nicer ground interaction with this latest version.
Great update! Autorotations are now possible without any problems.
thanks you and the team for this masterpice of software!
