Am I the only one who feels this way? In the latest updated version, the control of the seems to have become too dexterous, both at high and low altitudes.
Control of the EC135
-
To me it seems it has become easier to fly. It seems like every few months there is a slight change in the handling that drastically changes the behavior of the helo. It is still very enjoyable to fly!

I know that I'm not getting better on the helicopters but I'm pleased to recognise better how bad I am. The Black Hawk was disappointingly easy but I hadn't done all that much on the EC135 until recently when the torque pedals became uncontrollable in the R22 on my iPad pro (current published and current/recent beta).
I don't know what helicopter electronic stability assistance is like in real life but raw manual only control should be (pleasantly) really hard. Such a mode can be selected on the Aerofly 135 by actioning the red button on the cyclic. In PC and in mobile the 135 really comes to life, the pedals need to be worked hard with collective changes and the helicopter becomes truly interesting, perhaps even more so than the R-22.
Here is a fun hover at the Zurich Airport viewing area's 'Heligrill' (according to Google Earth) with the Stability Augmentation System turned off and various warning signs activated. -

The mobile terminal can also take advantage of this advantage through the touch joystick. However, with the recent update, the E135 seems to have transplanted the operating characteristics of the R-22.

In my opinion, The E135 is the most suitable for beginners in the helicopter series, perhaps because of its control stability.

Easy is nice. But is it not more fun with stability turned off?
A helicopter tamed by electronic intervention is not going to give the fear tinged exhilaration of flying on your wits with 99% concentration. We simmers can seek the spirit of the beginner’s early flying lessons, walking back to the clubhouse tired and with a trace of headache and with the shirt stuck to your back with nervous sweat. Longing for more.
