    PC Controls Stickied please

    While most controls are pretty standard to games some of them are not. I cannot believe that someone here in the PC THREAD hasn't stickied the full listing of keyboard and mouse controls that allow you to play the game. I have spent more time on Google looking for "How do I do this?" or "How do I do that?" than I have playing the game. The last hair-pulling and spitting I did when I jumped on a Gyrocopter. 'E" to board it. That was fine. Space bar for up. I got to an open clear area but nothing would take me down. I tried Control, Alt, Shift. I pushed the stick forward while traveling in a circular motion. Nope. After another hour of searching for a listing of keyboard controls (those listed as "PC keyboard controls" turn out to be for Play Station and X-box) I finally had enough and hit "E", hit shift to spread my arms for the Wing suit and hit "C" for the parachute and as always happens, I died. Why? I don't know. Does the parachute have any controls or are they too a state secret? Can I direct my parachute to land in an open field? I don't know because finding somewhere clear without trees or cliffs is near impossible and why should I die because my parachute gets caught in a tree? It wouldn't matter anyway because as soon as you engage the parachute you don't get the visuals to see where you are coming down.

    While in-game hit esc to get to the menu, click on settings. Click on keyboard and Mouse, then customize controls. You don't have to change anything but it will tell you what does what. And yes, you can steer the cute.

    Thank you for that, Footloose. I didn't see "Customize Controls" in the "Options / Keyboard and mouse" section. However, there is nothing in there about the gyrocopter. How do I descend? And there is no direction there about steering parachutes. In regards to parachutes, what do I do to see where I'm falling? Why do I die EVERY time because... well, I don't know why and I should. I can't see where I fell, the world goes grey and I am back in a safe house.

    In Customize Controls, in the upper left you see "On Foot" "Vehicles" "Buzzer" The gyrocopter is the Buzzer but to answer your question - C for descend. The parachute is considered a vehicle. steer left and right with A D, Speed up and slow down with W S. LOOK with the mouse.
