Anyone actually managed to fly these god damned things? I can take off no problems but the moment you try and fly in something other than a straight line you lose control of the damn thing and end up crashing. I've played chopper sims before and none of them were THIS hard. :/

yer i can take off but after that i just flip upside down and hunter hunter hunter, your into bf1942/its mods too much ;)

dont use the mouse, use left and right keys. its not that hard.

and dont hold the keys down for long

I use a joystick... asif you'd use anything else to fly aircraft with...

I find them easy enough to fly. I use a joystick, but it has a rudder control (twist grip) which makes it easier. The secret is small movements, anything sharp and you will end up eating dirt.

Also, if you can get a person to man the chain gun at the front it makes an awesome weapon against anything on the ground.

pfft ure all noobs :P i am the king of the helicopter using mouse

Yeah, I can't fly them either. And with the 2 new choppers coming in the latest update it's gonna suck even more. At least the C-130 will be flyable and that's all that counts really.

btw - i usually use a joystick also

its easy as to use with just keyboard and mouse

I use mouse and keyboard. Not a worry. Can hover and all. Anyone want a game tomorrow? Its a bit late now.

i use mouse and keyboard, and can pretty much fly it any where any how, manual hovering is a bitch, because the engine isnt designed for it they arent putting in an auto hover.
the hardest part with keyboard i find is how much power to use, so that i fly at tree level

yeah, its easy t ofly. Just need to practice a little and dont get tired the first time you crash. I struggled at first but find it easy now.

Anyone tried flying under the bridge on midway? Its easy in a jet but you need to go under warter partly to do it in the heli. I can get most of the way though :D

i use game pad, but I will be getting desert combat once my limit it up tomorrow :/


then may the carnage begin...

i love watching bots try and fly the copters....so damn funny
