Similar MSFS 2020 issue: [(Sprag clutch for Helicopters)]
Bug description: Currently the helicopter rotor clutch is broken. Both manual clutching and freewheeling during autorotation are not working. During a real life autorotation the rotor rpm increases and to reduce friction the rotor is disconnected from the engines to spin freely. In the sim, rotor and engines stay connected all the time, the increase in rotor rpm is driving the engine rpms up as well which it should not. The increased friction also causes the rpm to rise less fast than it should. This has been a major issue since msfs20, preventing us developers from delivering a authentic experience to the customers.
