Adjust mini copter controls or add flight stick overlay so you can see what you're doing
So the flying deathtrap is a cool addition, but it's kinda hard to tell where exactly you are putting the flight control stick by how you move the mouse. Usually by that time it's too late and you get a tree to the face/side/bum and you get to watch your death in slow motion as you land like LaunchPad McQuack.

An easy way to fix this is an overlay that comes up that shows how the flight stick is being moved with your mouse depending on the direction you shove it. Obviously some people would think this would be too easy, but IRL you know where you are putting the flight stick and can gauge how much pressure you are putting on it, where as you have no such feedback with a mouse.

The other alternative is to change the flight controls of the copter entirely, but I like the realism. Flight stick, rudder controls, etc. Too bad you can't get a flight stick controller port in. But for now the overlay showing where the stick is being pointed at would be awesome instead of guessing where it is with a mouse.
