What do you use to weigh down your W key?
Just curious, so a question for all the PC players here...do you auto pilot?

I have a trusty 3/8 " socket bit with a little Phillips drill bit in the center (it wasn't quite heavy enough on its own). I plop that on the W key for those long flights, and then watch you tube or something on the other screen. More so lately, as it takes so dang long to fly anywhere.

My brother actually purchased a purpose-built key weight, I had no idea that these were even available!

What do you use?

Peace to all!

Change the key binding to the 8 Key on the numberpad, then turn off nums lock with the key pressed.

I used to use a pair of griplock pliers with a bolt in it. Worked like a charm.

No need for a weight as i dont play on officials so dont have to wait hours to fly anywhere :)

Don't most ppl make an auto run macro? It works for mounts or on foot pretty well. I didn't need a flyer balance to know that would b useful.

Try the program Voice attack. It can do anything and it has a permanent free trial http://voiceattack.com/ This thing is handy for any game AND every day pc use..

Auto key presser, don't know the exact name of the program but you can set the F keys to what you want, for example press F7=Hold W, press F8=release W

Don't use W.

I use my finger bone of course. Being a skeleton, it doesn't bother me much.

Skeleton, you ask? Why of course. What else would I be? No mere human can sit through the flyer nerf and survive. You meatbags sure have a sense of humour!

I rarely use flyers, but when I do I like tapejaras. So I don't have to weigh the W key down because I'm constantly straifing sideways across mountainsides and backwards over forests looking for decent levels to tame while I travel. I rarely go just forwards for any length of time.

Lol you're just prooving how necessary the nerf was - and how it didnt go far enough.

Navigating the island shouldnt be as simple as holding W.

I just use a cardboard like paper fold it and jam it in the crack lol. Just like i used to do in DayZ "the walking simulator". It really must take a slow mind to sit idle on a bird like the way it is now.
