i've been wanting to fly a heli or jet but i can't figure out how to get the pilot kit can anyone help me? this is my first time playing PR and also can i play against the comp in single player?

Create a squad.

All you gotta do is Hold " T " and click on the center box. A list should appear and you can select the kit you want.

Read the manual , it tells you everything.

Welcome

1. Create a squad
2. Get near a aircraft or a repair post
3. Press and hold T and there should be a little menu, click on that, then scroll down and select pilot kit.
4. Press G to pick it up from the ground

Yeah, Flying will take ALOT of practice, I still haven't completely mastered it yet. You may find that you are simply no good at it compared to others, and that flying should be left to them (Like I myself have concluded), but dont worry, there are many other important (and fun) roles to fill on the battlefield.

And most important!
Don't use the planes on the runway, they are dumbed down versions for bots.

I'm not quite sure how you can distinguish the bot choppers right now.

check out at 0:30 (its the same for jets and choppers)

or if this better fits your style ;P

lol thanks guys you all helped but i'm a master heli pilot in BF2 lol it's almost the same but i think that the flight dynamics for the black hawk in bf2 are way more realistic unless theres a way to change it...? but is there anykind of single player stuff like in BF2?

You think your a master now, wait till your jump in a reality chopper, you will need to relearn your flight dynamics, and also you do alot more landing in this game than you do in BF2, so you will need to practice your landings in all choppers, on all terrain, before you can call yourself a profesional pilot.

And for the sake of tickets... don't land on a jagged surface. Hover above it, just a few feet... and properly drop off your troops, pop flares upon exit, and fly to your next destination. (Preferably base, until needed.)

Most needed is the skill to stay alive...

Go to deployment > createl local and pick any map you like that has choppers on... they spawn and you can train on them...

if you want bots included go to cooperative and do the same...

you also have to get used to the natural pitch of the chopper due to engine thrust (increasing and decreasing). How to flare for quick landings. Landing on rough terrain. Hovering (much harder than vbf2). Strafing a target (for attack choppers and trans choppers with gun platforms). Basically you needs LOTS of practice.

Also, please practice practice practice!!! Stay on a training server until you learn how to fly fully. And please don't say that you're a master heli pilot in BF2, because once you strap into a Reality helicopter, it's a whole different experience...

Flying in PR is nothing like in vBf2. Controlling the aircrafts is relatively easy once you practiced enough, it's the mentality that is hard to get used to after pwning jets in vanilla. You are no longer at the top of the foodchain with your mighty chopper, even a random guy with a stinger can shoot you down.
If you really are a master bf2 pilot, you should know what defensive flying is. Do that in PR and you'll be fine.
Avoid the enemy at all costs, engage only when you can dictate the terms of the battle.
Staying alive is the most important thing in a chopper. And practice, practice, practice.

best advice would be to read the manual. Its full of little gems of wisdom that will make the pr experience a lot more fun for you

lol youre right

yeah it is different flying in PR but pretty easy to get use too...i had no problem jumping into a blackhawk and flying around and landing and hugging the landscape...now i'm not even gonna try the jets cuz i suck at flying those anyway and don't really want too haha!

Hehe, good conclusion i'm just like you, no flying skill

Co-op vehicles will react more like bf2 since bots need to use them and using pr's vehicles just won't work with them very well i guess. So if you want to practice flying a jet, go to co-op, choose the map kashan, then when it loads and you spawn, take an aircraft from the hangers, not from the runway because those act just like bf2 vehicles do and if you practice on those for a month then decide to fly on a real server, you'll be in for a big suprise
