Movement Controls
Movement controls, as stated somewhere in the comments by Author, are coded into the WarThunder required mod
However, they can be changed. Open the following file:
C:\InstallDirectory\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3399660368\mods\WarThunderVehicleLibrary\42\media\lua\client\HeliAbility > HeliMove.lua
Then Ctrl+F and find "Keyboard.KEY_"

You'll find listings for:
Keyboard.KEY_A
Keyboard.KEY_D
Keyboard.KEY_W
Keyboard.KEY_S
Keyboard.KEY_UP
Keyboard.KEY_DOWN

They correspond exactly as described by the Author here. If you swap W/S with UP/DOWN your WASD will be forward/back/turn with Up/Down being altitude.

If you want it all on one hand, like I did, you can then replace what is now UP/DOWN with SPACE/LSHIFT

It's a little quirky digging through notepad, but there's only 17 instances of "Keyboard.KEY_" to fiddle with. Just be mindful of what you change it to because these aren't in-game binds these are key-press detection and inputs can for sure get crossed with keybinds, so be mindful.

Hope this helps some of yall. You're welcome to link this to anyone else interested in controls relating to the WarThunder mod required. I'd post it there, but since this is the Huey I wanted, and several looked for controls here as well, this will have greater effect helping folks out.
