Further Update, I know how to start up the engine, but I can't actually fly, like control the throttle, go forwards/higher, etc.

you can fly by controlling collective and cyclic simultaneously.


If you want to fly up, you need to increase collective while adjusting cyclic to maintain 0 pitch and roll degree.

To fly forward, you need to control cyclic to find and maintain the pitch angle (usually between 15~20 degree pitch down) where the helicopter flies straight forward, watching vertical speed indicator.  then you can slightly move the pitch around in case you want to fly up or down while flying forward

I think Cyclic is actually mouse.

It can be either keyboard, joystick, mouse based on your configuration.

And Collective is W/S, right? Also, I find myself overcompensating for some bits, like if the heli is leaning to much to one side.

if you did not turn on arcade flight model, the helicopter will constantly pitch up and roll to right due to dissymmetry of lift and gyroscopic precession.

I have turned on the Arcade flight model. Like sometimes, during startup, The heli tilts to one side. I then yank the Cyclic in the opposite direction. But then it is too much and it tilts to the other side. And again. And again. Until the cycle reaches its vicious end, i.e, a vicious crash. 

that sounds like the mouse sensitivity is too high and the cyclic wasn't at center. 

You can press `(~) to open input window and check the current axis positions.

TOO HIGH!?!? I set mine at 5!

then also increase cyclic recentering speed, this makes the mouse cyclic automically return to the center to make helicopter more stable.
