Helicopter Controls! (for the devs) | Forums

[NapsterAT]

Ok to make this super clear read carefully!


I am a mouse keyboard player and i fly in every game with mouse steering.


This is my current steering setup, wich i use in generall in every game where i can fly a helo.


BINDINGS:

(pls open it take a look at it while youre reading)


First of all there is litteraly no need to bind akward keys like CTRL or s-h-i-f-t the same applies for drones and planes. (just use keys like driving a car for Throttle and Brake this is much more comfortable)

2nd As you can see in the picture i Highlighted stuff in Red.
Move Left should be Turn Left
Move Right should be Turn Right

What is a Turn?
When i Talk about turning think about a car steers left or right.

Mouse Movement should not affect Turn at all!

So far so good.

3rd When i move my mouse left i want that the heli BANKS to the left same applies for the right side if i move my mouse right i want that the heli BANKS to the right.
(I dont want the helo to turn! this is important!)

What is BANK?

Bank is possible in every situation and its needed to control the helicopter properly
This applies to HOVER or standing still in-flight!


Currently this is not happening ingame!
Ingame you can only Bank if you have a pre-defined flight speed! wich is just completly wrong!
so the only way to "land" in the game is to get to a full stop in flight and then just lower the altitude.
Its even not possible to flight curves proberly because of the bank problem wich is not possible if you do not have enough speed, makes landing nearly impossible.

This have to change.

4th The mouse should behave like a stick! that means if i push the mouse a little bit in the direction of my body this setting should remain FIXED! until i move the mouse in the opposite direction.

Currently its a real hassle to permanently pull the mouse to the direction of my body then lift it up and do it again in a specific speed to maintain flight position.
This is also a thing thats needed to change.



PS: seems backpacks still have no use

Basically, they need to copy GTA style of Heli controls under PC.
Copy Paste.. Youll be fine Ubi.
Kthxbye.

Or Battlefield, also giving those who use it the option to invert flight controls.

Hello! Been playing the game for a little time now and 1 thing i discovered when trying to fly the choppers and Airplanes is that with a mouse and keyboard the controlls where really awkward. a good flight/Air vehicles controll setup is how for an example the BF series have done with with the air craft itself is controlled by the mouse and not the keyboard (Only throttle, reload and landing gear is controlled by the keyboard). This is just what i think tho. I don't know if this is something you guys will take a look on, but for me at least the controllers are kinda awkward and doesn't make for fun gameplay.

Aircraft controls are garbage across the board. Devs should have played more open world games with aircraft in them, like GTA 5 and Saints Row. Heck, even the PS2 GTAs were better than this. At least they had YAW CONTROL.

Those who invert Y are wrong and should be shunned.
