Changes in helicopter camera/controls?
Is there possibility to set old camera, controls etc. mode/settings for helicopter?
After update (i think) flying in helicopter sucks a little.

OMG.... Yes, this is HORRIBLE. This literally breaks the game for me, I cannot fly like this and all I ever do is fly. :(

from another post

From patch notes:
Added: A new pilotcameralock MFD condition (0 disabled, 1 locked to terrain, 2 locked to objects)

could be something else though if anyone finds something more specific in the Patch Notes[dev.arma3.com] let me know.

Who's ever Idea it was to lock the helicopter camera to the tail is a fukn idiot. You can't see the ground anymore. Literally this ruined the game for me. I can't fly anymore cuz I use a mouse and freelock only works on mouse and number pad. So if I turn free lock on I can't control the helicopter. So the freelock bs is not working for mouse using helicopter flyers. They should have made it an option to change or lock the camera not just do it as a default. So stupid. Never gonna play arma again. Fukn stupid update.

The helicopter camera that was before the jets dlc update was perfect. Why change it and make it locked to the tail. So dumb

With the new camera it looks like a low flight simulator

They will fix it! Official developer said:
,,We're aware of the issue and will come up with a solution. Sorry for the inconvenience. It's been caused by external camera unification so the camera follows vehicle also in pitch. Which is awesome for airplanes, but for helicopters it has reduced the awareness when landing."
