Hi!
In MSFS 2024 Bell 206 showing as fixed wing airplane and i can’t bind joystick cyclic and trims for helicoper.
I Changed category in aircraft.cfg from “airplane” to “helicopter” and now it works.
Yes, but ity would break MSFS 2020 versions if we did that. Easier to simply bind Aileron/Elevator and Throttle 1/Prop 1 as well as Rudder.

But then can’t use trims.
Maybe add choose of version when installing or option in heli manager.
Hi, has there been any update on this? I just bought the 206 and I cannot bind collective or cyclic axis. The suggestion was to bind Aileron/Elevator and Throttle 1/Prop 1, but as the original poster said then trims can’t be bound. Even if they could, I find it disappointing that I just paid money for a helicopter that doesn’t bind to helicopter controls. I’m not looking for permanent workaround. It should work correctly. Thanks!
Edit: I am on MSFS 24.
You can easily bind to regular trim rather than helicopter trim. Remember this is a legacy MSFS2020 aircraft, and we are at the mercy of how MS and Asobo do things. If we change it to helicopter in the source, than it wont work in 2020. The 2024 specific versions will work as you’d like.
The bindings have zero effect on flight characteristics. in fact, the Bell 206 doesn’t have force trim of any kind.

Fair enough, I’ll create a new profile just for this helicopter then. Thanks
