Re: Flying

Re: Flying

you have to uncheck the "ranked"-filter in order to see custom maps. a joystick is the very best option if you wanna fly in a jet, however, i fly the helicopter with keyboard only. it's definately worth it to buy a cheap joystick if ye gonna fly jets.

Re: Flying

best way to learn is go in single player or better yet, create your own server and just practice

If you mean how I fly, I fly with the cockpit-view.

Re: Flying

the thing that took me a while to realize is that you have to constantly "correct" your aircraft. Heli won't just fly straight, it will start rolling and turning if you let go of your controls or let it sit "at center position". I haven't played any sims lately but I'm pretty sure the old ones would just fly straight when you let go. Mouse and keyboard will let you fly pretty well but obviously you won't be able to turn as tight as with a stick or recover from a dive that well but it's decent.

3rd person view is hard as hell to fly with. I use the c.ock-pit view and a mouse and keyboard. I'm very good, well that's what every pilot says to me when trying to shoot me down. You just have to be able to judge how wide your plane is when doing manuvers close to trees or under bridges. That's when 3rd person comes in handy but I hate it for dog fighting or bombing.
