Helicopter Yaw Joystick Reference Point Resets During Flight

Status:	Open

Reported for:	Forefront - v1.0.75 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Grab joystick in helicopter
2. Fly around normally
3. Use aggressive yaw extensively
4. Notice how you have to re-grip the joystick to reset the reference point back to where you need it
5. The reference point should be static, not something that's set when you grab the joystick

Explanation

Helicopter virtual joystick yaw resets mid flight.

When grabbing yaw your current grab pose is used as a reference point for the yaw rotation your hand has to make to yaw the helicopter. But this reference point sometimes reset, this can result in a weird issue where you have to constantly compensate for this and usually it forces your reference point in one direction, so eventually compensating becomes impossible resulting in a crash
