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.
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.
