Helicopter control question

[Kell]

Hello all!

     I just have a quick question about heli controls.  Sometimes when I am flying, my left/right pedals start correcting to their starting/center position (like when driving a vehicle).  This effectly makes using my verticle rotor impossible.  If I switch to auto-hover, then back, it seems to resolve the issue.   However, it returns shortly afterwards. 

 

    Has anyone experienced this problem and is there some fix for it?  Also, is there anyway to turn off verticle correction?  It would be nice not to constanly hold down my W key to keep the heli moving forward.

 

    Thanks for your time

what do you mean? if you press throttle while your helicopter is bend forward, it will go back to the 'hover' position. If you want to go forward while getting speed/altitude, you have to keep pressing W. Or you give up some altitude and just bend your heli forward to get speed.

My main issue is with the vertical rotor problem. It's the same behaivor as when driving. When the left/right keys are released, the vehicles wheels move to a centered position. This is fine while driving, but in a heli it brings the nose of the aircraft to its original bearing. Effectly limiting me to banking for all turns.

I apologize if I am not explaining this well. I appreciate your time.

i guess you're using the same commands bound to X and C on the keyboard, right? While you're flying, they cant be used, use the commands bound to A and D to control your heli.

 

The vertical rotor is pretty much useless while you're at movement.

^wow really - you want to try combat flying. Use x and c to lose speed while landing or when you get shot down.

There are 8 controls - for direction
a + d , x + c, mouse banking left and right, q + z for altitude.

Wow can you seriously not get what he's saying ?

 

From what I've read and seen in videos the air vehicles controls were made for Analogue gamepads. One guy on youtube does a tutorial showing how to fly a chopper in and out the hanger and around the runways. He flies out using an "analogue game pad" which allows you to point the nose down. The nose stays down until he taps back on the stick so he can essentially maintain direction, speed and altitude without having to keep tapping on W like we do. What about the mouse ? You constantly have to keep sliding down your mouse pad otherwise the chopper just levels out.

 

With Keyboard and Mouse if you tilt the copters nose down "to move forward" the crappy system just resets it to a level point. So basically flying with keyboard and mouse is twitchy as fck and is stupid. Look at older games like Battlefield 2. That still has some of the best keyboard + mouse controls of all time.
