    Far Cry 5 Flying/Planes

    Hi

    I was just wondering how flying is in FC5. Its like in GTA5 or Battlefield? Can you do Barrel roll, loops etc? or its just more like flying for kids? Up, down, right and left...
    I saw on yb videos u cant use yaw I hope Ubisoft will fix flying in FC5

    It seems more arcade-y, or in other words simpler. You can still do some stunts but it takes more time i suppose because there doesn't seem to be a specific button for it.

    I played it at the Ubisoft Lounge in L.A. back in June last year, the planes are very easy to fly, on the mission where you meet Nick and take the plane up into the air you get attacked and have to shoot the plane down, I found that pressing the brake button while turning then accelerating for me the plane appeared to turn faster / sharper.

    Aiming was easy but on several occasions pressed the wrong button and got he bomb cam which is an overhead view, I can't see anyone having issues you can take off and land, the aqua plane can land on water.

    Loop the loop is easy just pull back, I don't think there is a barrel role but hope there is that option.

    It is nice we can fly the planes, but I think Ubisoft should change the distance the plane needs to land or take off on water / land. Like to at least 100 meters or so. Now it looks a bit stupid you can land / take off within 10 meters distance.

    The airplane controls suck. Trying to fly using the W, A, S, and D keys is next to impossible. Don't know what controls Fallen-Champ was using at the Ubisoft lounge, but the description of his flying sounds like he was not using keyboard commands.
