Now i've attempted to fly choppers many times in PR and have noticed that i cannot control Yaw seperatly from Roll. this is a big issue for people because IRL you have foot pedals for yaw and the stick for rolls and pitch.

one reason i have for this idea is it has become harder to fly between trees. back in the original BF2/1942desert combat, i'd be able to fly litteraly between trees to touch down in a small patch of open area (very small)

reason number 2 as this has been mentioned elsewhere when you get locked onto by an AAV with a chopper it is very hard to evade even after using flares. now IRL pilots can change pitch and yaw to make their choppers do a half turn sort of maneuver. i used to do this in 1942 DC and manage to dodge many Grail missiles. increase throttle, pitch up, yaw to port. its a pretty standard maneuver that i can no longer pull off in game

You can use the A and D keys for yaw. I don't have any problems they seem to turn pretty good.

Even I can do that in PR, and im sure there is a lot of other ppl here that can do it (alex, nickbond, mongol) you just need to do it a lot till you get good at it.

The Yaw does work. But not at high speeds. (Sorta like IRL) =) Unless it's a Cayuse.

Exactly, yaw does not work when you are flying fast. When you want to turn just roll to the right or left a little.

ok well then in that case please remove this post, for somereason my Yaw input doesnt work it seems for me anyways.

now one question though why wouldnt yaw work at a higher speed? thats how turning works in all aircraft is roll and yaw and pitch input not just roll and pitch

The rudder doesnt work at higher speeds

I do hate how the tail rotor/rudder doesn't work at anything above medium speed. I am used to it now, but as mora knows sometimes I do seem to do strange flips in the air when I am desperately trying to manuever with my tail rotor.

No, the controls are better the current way. the old way sucked, too much spiraling and orbiting, wasnt realistic. every gunship moved like a littlbird which is wrong. no no no..........no no no no no no.

Nickbond, you left out the part where you crash into the typhoons.
Cool vid, like the way you meshed the outside view into a weird window frame effect to show the cockpit, thats beast.
