Flying with Key+Mouse

[CrazzyNoob]

Hello.
i have no pad and i try to fly with Key+Mouse. It didn't work very well. Could someone tell me how to fly with key+Mouse. I think its possible but mostly i didn't hit the ball. the control of the car in the air is so bad for me too. i try the tutorial but it didnt help me.
Maybe someone with Key+Mouse can give me some tips.

I am also playing with keyboard and mouse you just need to play,play and play and after sometime you will learn also, I know to airdrag and freestyle its a little bit harder but you can learn :) So just practice

Do not try to fly with key+mouse. They are not made for flying. Try wings, a parachute or even a jetpack. Be careful.

My brother can even kinda freestyle with it. I'ts worse than a pad, no doubt, but by no means impossible. Test some new camera settings, i would say. And advanced aerial trainer. Lots of it.

i have seen some players amazing at flying with M&KB. If you stick at it long enough you will be able to get it down, also since M&KB in a digital input you might need to tab keys not hold them

Jump and Boost + Backward.

Another kb user here. And what he said.

No matter, keyboard, or controller, flying is not that easy as driving on the ground.
There are lots of concrete tutorials on youtube, and it doesnt matter if its for controller, same actions exist on keyboard, just with different buttons assigned.

Best ways to learn aerials imho:
* Make offline exhibition match with slow-mo & unlimited boost mutators and practice - jump, backwards, boost
* Pro or all-star aerial training
* Rocket league trainer software
* Freeplay (when you are consistent enough to try some things with self-setup or so)
And it will take weeks or for some even months to grasp the basics, you will need some patience.

And even when your muscle gets the basics of flying, there will be lots of other mechanics to unwrap which indirectly but reasonably affects aerials too like positioning or speed.

In other words, there is a long way ahead, BUT ITS WORTH IT. But also, keep in mind that keyboard has steeper learning curve compared to controller. And end result is a little bit better with controller, but only a little bit (which wont affect your fun if you like kb more, unless aiming to play at RLCS level champs one day). :)
