Just tried it and it is a work of art, flies great, looks great, everything is superb. It slides to the left or right when using the rudder with the engines off, is that normal?
Mine actually will turn when the rudder is applied (even with engine off/on the ground) but I suspect this is a limitation in the 'Sim FDM. Might be wrong but I think this is just another one of those "things" - there is no reason to apply rudder/turn the aircraft while it is in the engine off config and sitting on the ground but the aircraft can be taxied and steered accurately when fired up. The FDM simply cannot configure the aircraft to not turn turn when the engine is off.
Or maybe I'm nuts.

Yes its a limitation because we dont have a fully functional chinook FCS to mix the blades inputs properly.
Chinooks have a very complex blade system which at the moment, I cant fully replicate.
Yeah makes sense, that's YASIM for ya :)
Wouldnt make any difference in JSB ether. The complexity would still exist
