Would it be possible to have them only controlled when a certain weapon is selected?

This, the russian cow is awful to fly. I took it today, flew it 3 minutes, couldn't even keep it stable on the ground (VERY REALISTIC when you know that it weighs 8 tons) and alt-F4ed because it was being super annoying.

What? The Chinese Mi-17 does not stay still at all. Are you sure you tried the Mi-17 and not just the small helicopter?

He probably means the Zhi-8KA (PLA Heavy Lift Chopper) and the Zhi-9B (PLA Light Lift Chopper).

I've flown the PLA Mi-17 quite a bit and didn't have any major issues with its wheels myself, felt like the other choppers? Haven't tried the Russian Mi-17s but they should be using the same code...


Also for anyone who might have missed this on the last page:

Right guys I'm going to do a new poll on this straight after the Open Beta is over so make sure you get some time on trying some wheeled choppers this weekend, as well as giving them a fair chance to try and get the hang of them, to see what they are like and then you'll all need to recast your votes in the new poll, since this poll was made for the PR:F test, and hopefully more people have had a chance to fly in the OB with it.

Cheers!

I think it's a good achievement but it needs to be implemented better.

It seems to be that when 'idle' on the helipad, my chopper is sliding either backwards or forwards no matter where I put my mouse.

If I take my hand off it to type to a squad, it rolls into someone, or the barriers - which detracts from how competent a squad views me to be in being capable of ferrying them across the map.

Until it can be sorted, I don't think it's a core feature that'll be missed if it's temporarily removed.
