How To Fly in ArmA: OFP?
Pretty self-explanitory. When I hit W to increase speed I almost instantly flip over... Any advice?

For helos, hold Q for how high you want to go then press W (or E) and use the mouse to steer.

Thanks, this works like a charm! But, how do you land safely... ? My every attempt results in exploding lmao.

Slow down, aim nose towards even ground. Before you hit ground pull nose up....with landing gear down of course.

Oh and helis, just put on auto-hover via actions menu and hold Y (carefully tho)

The best way to fly is to use a joystick with a rudder twist and throttle.
You can fly loops that way and do 360s, which simply cannot be done with a mouse/keyboard.
We play in multiplayer. Get OFPMonitor to see the servers.
Check out my channel youtube.com/DCSMPVideos

Examples of me flying in OFP/CWA multiplayer with a joystick (but also mouse):
Skip, most of my videos are long, whole sessions:
