Why does the tail left side, front right side's rotor produces more thrust than the other side making jt unbalanced at higher collective.

Because of the action-reaction principle. If the main rotor rotates in a counter-clockwise direction, the transmitted torque turns the helicopter body in a clockwise direction. Greater collective = greater torque. The rudder reserve may also run out in the case of a right crosswind and a large collective stall.

There is a lot of very interesting information on Youtube about helicopter aerodynamics, such as https://www.youtube.com/@helicopterlessonsin10minut10. In my opinion, it is worthwhile for anyone interested in helicopter flying to take a look. There are quite a few effects that I would never have expected, and which I think are very well represented in FS4 and FS2023.😀🚁

A thousand word reply would not even scratch the surface of explaining the dynamics of a simple movement in a helicopter. In my day a large city’s reference library had professional piloting books to be read on the premises! You can now instantly access on line the world’s knowledge on helicopters largely for free and it is and it will be enjoyable.
Aerofly is well thought out and 99 times out of a 100 an effect you notice in the sim is present in the real thing.
If you want to spend a short holiday’s money on the experience you can book a trial helicopter lesson at a flying club or school. Your idea of what uncontrollable is will never be the same. People get over it though, so can you.
