Tips for broom flying?

[FleaBytes]

The PC controls for flying seem insane. Am I the only one that thinks that using ctrl and space are incredibly awkward? or how about the W/shift/LMB juggling to control speed? And for some reason a separate control 'B' just for landing? And for a kicker, slightly different controls for flying animals, because reasons.

I'm generally getting the feel for it, but it's still not fun and I'm finding I generally avoid flying because I don't want to deal with it. Any better options?

Get used to them, its not a problem really.
Your left hand can reach all the buttons anyway, and shift speed is a toggle.
So you will only have to press it once, then ctrl/space. and B when landing.

Don't use the mounts though, they're not instant, broom only. :D

If you have a controller try that.

I found the flying controls intuitive, except for the default keybinding of dismounting. I rebound that to one of my mouse buttons

To start with (on kb/m):

1) Use the shift toggle for mid/high altitude cruise control
2) Never use shift for anything BUT cruise control flight.
3) Low altitude flight is the bees knees. Boosting in low-alt doesn't drain the boost meter.
4) Everything gets better with upgrades.

Once I got used to flight in low-alt and boosting everywhere, my broomstick had a new appeal.

Once you get used to it you can have fun swooping around and e-z u-turns no problem.

Broom upgrades make the controls feel slightly better, as I think the developers want to give you the feeling of a new flyer. The flight test mini-games definitely screw with the input (supposedly 'high winds' etc.,) to make it more "challenging..."

I also recommend the better controls and keybinds mods mentioned above.

nah the real reason is because of limitation of gamepad

[motomat]

the default controls are pretty universal in every other game, from gta to cod
