Why are helicopters so impossible to fly?

[Fejj]

Joystick, mouse, keyboard. Doesn't matter, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ helicopter wobbles like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seesaw. I can't do missions because of it, because when I go to pick something up/set it down, my helicopter all of a sudden decides it wants to tilt and go 20 feet to the right even though I'm not even touching anything. Planes are super easy to fly in comparison, why are helicopters so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard?

Impossible?! Funny because I have no similar difficulties... Maybe a little bit of practice and/or some flight school lessons - both, single player and online - would be of great help.

Practice.

I have full flying with Trevor because of planes, yet the helicopter is still impossible to fly

It's not really impossible it really difficult to fly at first,but you'll adapt to it

Yeah but what about YOUR flying skills?

Stop jamming the controller to full tilt when you flying. Easy on the controllers. If you using keyboard and mouse do some light taps on the keypad/wasd for better precision. Don't use mouse as camera to steer plane/helicopter. The sensitivity is ♥♥♥♥. unless your mouse can compensate...by a lot

I noticed, I hate flying with the mouse. I did it originally because that's how I fly planes and I'm pretty good with that. When I use a controller I hardly move the sticks at all because I'm used to GTAIV on 360 where moving it a fraction of a millimeter launches you across the map. Joystick works a little better but is still really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in terms of stability.

I forgot to say, I turn my sensitivity all the way down ingame for flying.

I've tweaked with sensetivity as well and I can't find the perfect level

ah yea it is a personal preference thing, but my best is just all the way down. I can actually pass the flying tests with it like that.

Well, my problem is just with helis alone. Even when I don't touch my mouse/keyboard/controller/joystick, the helicopter still moves, even if I've leveled it out and such. Planes obviously don't have this problem, as the only time you aren't moving is when you're landed.

Hmmm. I can hover very well. There has been times i would just go make some quick food while i am in my heli hovering in the sky

How is your flight skill levels?

with out the difficulties in flying helicopters would be to op
imagine a savage,valkyrie ,or buzzard with perfect handling
