If I recall, when you open up the chat window, the vehicle goes into an auto pilot of sorts where it maintains the current inputs and thrust levels. I seem to remember the keyboard for sure gets locked out, and I thought the stick did too, but I'll have to check again.

When flying, I seldom try and type anyway.

Is what your asking to keep flying about and type? Then no, you will lose control of the vehicle once the chat is open, and the joystick will not make a difference.

If what your asking is it possible to type at all? Yes, level the chopper and type away.

As long as you set the chopper to go on a uniform path before you type. Once you type, the helicopter will pilot by itself.

True for the most part but if you take too long typing it will start to drop out of the sky after a short while and youll have to stop and rescue it back to level flight before you type more.

It would take you less time to try it than to ask here and wait for responses.

Of course you can, but at the risk of the chopper rolling to the left or right. You see choppers just can't stay steady in BF2. I suggest being atleast at 150 feet before trying to type so that you can regain control. Also type quick choppy little messages. Hope I helped!
