Mod Idea

A simple button to level the gyrocopter in during flight. Not that they are hard to fly, but would be a nice QoL if there isn’t a way already.

Little issue with that. gyrocopters are NOT helicopters. They can't hover in place.

They basically work like a hangglider. Just a hang glider with a power source that allows them to climb higher. They can make their own vertical movement, instead of finding things like a thermal.

They need to be constantly moving forward, and they do that by tilting forward.

So basically you want a mod that turns it into a helicopter. Just wish for a mod that gives you an attack helicopter.

I don’t mean to hover in place. I just mean to not have to tickle the up/down buttons to get a straight line while moving.

That's kind of how gyrocopters work.

You're asking for a helicopter. It's not a helicopter.

It’s not a big deal to just want to fly straight so you don’t need to babysit the buttons. It’s a video game.

I get what you mean.... and no, it doesn't need to be a helicopter to have a 'leveling' button. It's actually not a bad idea imo but, don't think it's really do-able either. I mean... maybe... some macro for a key which calculates which direction (up or down) the current key press is set to and then counters it... to end up leveling the gyro-glider. But, that's a bit different than a mod for a game. It's a macro for your keyboard... while in the game.
