That heli is a PITA to fly, btw
You got the vietnam expansion?
First thing you need to do is make a new profile in CH CM for bad company with the hotas gear you want to use. save it.
open up bad company, anything you need to fly it that requires the keyboard you need to assign it a keyboard command. write these down if you can't remember them.
In CH CM, create a new command file (CM Editor button) and start filling in those commands you wrote down. an example not related to heli's --
Flaps_UP f
Weapon_One enter
*** The only thing you should be actually typing is the command description, as in Weapon_One or Flaps_UP. After that tab over past that thin light grey line in the editor and right click -> record defenition
then perform your keyboard key presses for that command. It'll insert them next to your description for you.
once you've got all your commands in the command file go to the program settings tab on CH CM, look for the command file input box and assign your bad company command file to it
Now if you click Button 1 on your combat stick, which should be the fire button, do the following:
un-check DX Mode
input boxes appear
in the Press input box under "Normal Action", right click
Select Insert command
A new window comes up which reads from the command file you created earlier with all your bad company keyboard commands in it, you can now select a command to execute when you press your joystick button 1 (just double click it)
You can do this for all of your buttons, and even assign multiple modes and shift keys this way. Landing/Takeoff, Combat, Bombing -- you get the picture?
The things you'll want to leave in DX mode are most likely your joystick, pedals, throttle axis's as you wont want those assigned to keyboard commands so you get a full range of motion when flying.
Hope this helped some and is clear enough, took me quite a while to figure it all out hehe
EDIT: forgot to add that once you've got your profile just how you think you want it, save it. Once saved, you need to download it to your hotas using the download map button. Once it's downloaded everything *should* work in game.
