[?] Helicopters and Airplanes

[clondicke]

I don't know if this belongs here, but why are the helicopters and airplanes so hard to control?
For Example the AH6 Helicopter when I press the up arrow on my keyboard to make the helicopter throttle up and take off it for some reason shifts the helicopter to the right and I fly off of the aircraft carrier and crash instantly.
Is there a way to make the helicopters fly like they do in the original BF2 Game? How can I mod them? Anyone have the time to give me a quick tutorial?

Thanks In advance.

Are you waiting 30 seconds before takeoff to allow the helicopter to spool up?

Pretty much your sensitivity goes really really high when the chopper is warming up, this starts to falloff as time goes on. Its best to just not move your mouse (Mouse is much easier for flying choppers imo) until you hear the sound change to the regular sounds of the blades spinning. Another thing to remember is to not just hold your throttle (w) on full all the time, you need to take it slow when taking off.

To be honest you just need practice in local as its kinda hard to explain but it gets much easier over time.

Jets just need enough room to take off and its pretty self explanatory from there. Landing is quite tricky, its all about knowing when to power down on your approach.

Ya, the 2 posts above me are right. You need to wait for the helicopter to warm up before flying, and they are much harder than in vBF2.

I am waiting for it to warm up a bit, but is there a way to mod it so I don't have to wait for it to warm up? I personally don't have a problem waiting for it to warm up after that it fly's great, but the bots don't wait and they fall off of the aircraft carrier all the time. So its kinda stupid that I am the only one in the air and everyone else is ground bound.

Well no, theres not really.

EDIT: Also, bots wait to take off. I've had some epic videos of 6 hueys flying toward mutrahh. after that the bots fail though.
