How the hell do you fly a helicopter properly?

[Hex: Devour TTV Players' Hope]

It's impossible well to me I suppose

Use a xbox wireless controller such as myself,I can land that MoFo on a dime.

Q - Rise
Z - Lower
A/D - Strafe left or right
W/S - Flip forward or backwards
X/C - Rotate left or right

Moving the mouse will tilt the heli so be careful not to have it super sensitive and flip the heli.

At certain angles you pick up speed, so watch the top left corner for km/s and see how fast you are going.
You also have to watch the height.

Auto-hover is usable if you want to stop or take your time to land.

When using heli to shoot, do not stay too long at a angled position, you speed up like crazy and starts flying towards the target.

I don't like controllers though xD

Practise.

Oh wow and you think I haven't been

X and c only make me turn for about two seconds and then my helicopter will tilt back to the center

That's because of the speed of the heli going forward. You'd want to slow down before doing a full turn.

The Torque of a helicopter flying fast and trying to rotate will be impossible because of the wind pressure on it. The only way to turn whilst moving at speeds is to utilize strafe to do long turns.

Well then I use my mouse to tilt the whole thing to the left or right to do turns a bit sharp xD Oh well

[Hex: Devour TTV Players' Hope]

Oh my freaking god

Guess what you need more of..?

silly controls? arma has the most realistic heli controls outside of a dedicated helicopter simulator.

also I thought Xx xX names and tYpInG lIkE tHiS went out of style in 2002, but I guess it's a timeless feature of any prepubescents on the internet

Only use Q and Z to adjust Altitude of the helo, occasionally use S to bring the helo to a halt or slow it down. Use the mouse for the rest of the work as you have more control. Educate your mouse in editor and fine tune the sensetivity and believe me your onto a winner!

Although I kinda agree with your comment, but this dude is just looking for help. I wish the community would be a little more friendly or at least keep the negetive comments to theirself.
