Helicopter

[TuoYeye]

The helicopter its still uncontrollable, why inst easy like other games shift up Ctrl down and simple AWSD

It is like another game, Rust.

I just successfully flew. It's a challenge but I know from watching Rust, people can become experts at it. At least it doesn't explode when you land or hit something like in Rust.
It does need CTRL to drive it forward after landing like Rust and/or a push button.

I don't know that I'll become an expert but I like the challenge. If I wanted everything easy I'd want teleporters and just let me teleport to the different islands.

Easy would be one pile at the poi's that give you everything. A game that gives you everything and doesn't challenge you is a game not worth playing.

I don't get it. Why are people continually asking for this game to become boring with everything handed to them? Where's the fun in that?
Go play solitaire on your phone if that's what they want.

I agree withe TuoYeye, it’s out of control. In Far Cry 5, there was a helicopter which was perfectly controllable with the ZQSD keys and two other keys to go up and down. The problem is that you can't change the keys here. All actions should be editable

After a few more flights and having memories of a streamer being taught how to fly a mini in Rust it is perfectly controllable. WASD moving pixels arranged different is boring.

Here's some tips I remembered, when you turn you need to counter the turn with lean. And don't just hold W, tap it. Until you get it figured out keep your speed reasonable.
In Sunkenland when you're ready to land you can just hold S or even use C, for now. In Rust anything is probably going to result in you exploding (which I hope they never get in Sunkenland).

Editing the controls won't help you. You won't turn the Sunkenland light heli into a forward, back, side to side system. It is about which way you lean and whether you're applying power or cutting power.

Also to move it forward after you've landed use the mouse, and you can also turn with the mouse.

Its more easy to flight a helicopter in real life, however there are boats.

This is similar to a real heli where turning makes you tilt but IRL stuff like pressing W in the game would also make you turn and tilt.

If you're complaining because it's not simple WASD movement in the game you would be really complaining IRL and then you would crash so at least there would be an end to the complaining.

Yeah whatever. I didn't buy a flight sim so RL controls don't interest me at all.

ok, so for all of you saying it's like flying a real helicopter, any ideas how you fly a real helicopter? Because apparently I'm in the minority here, but I have no clue how... I play games and I know game controls... I'm not in this for a flight simulator... if that's how the game is, then fine... but tell me how it works so I don't have to go to flight school please.

Look, I've given it a try and even got to learn it but isn't worth imo, the tactical boat is way better and before that the motorboat is the only transportation means you really need

I wish this was like Flying a Real Helicopter. Push W for up, Push S for Down, A Left, D Right. I don't know how to Fly a Helicopter but the Sunkenland Developers came up with a way for me to Fly this thing around and have some Fun. I have trouble Flying almost Every other Flying Vehicle in all my other games(dealing with Gravity). This thing took me just a couple minutes to figure out and I hope the Devs don't mess with it.

I haven't tried it yet. But one question I would ask, is this actually a helicopter or is it modeled more after a gyrocopter? That's what it looks like, anyway. In reality they are very different vehicles, and it's a common complaint in video games with gyros that they don't handle like helis. (7 Days to Die comes to mind, a very well modeled gyrocopter that many people don't like because they expected it to be a helicopter.)

The Blueprint calls it a Light Helicopter, but I'm pretty sure that it's a gyrocopter..... maybe(?)
