comc 1 Posted July 12, 2013 Due to this thread, I tried to fly without TrackIR. It was torture. I love my joystick and can accept if it's not for you but for the love of God, if you want to get in the cockpit of anything that leaves the ground, please get TrackIR. It's ridiculous how much it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cr4z33 1 Posted July 13, 2013 Rudder pedals are cool, but... holy cow... € 100,00 and more is a lot of money! Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy Note con Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dudbomb 10 Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I practiced with choppers in the armory and editor, once you get the hang of troop transport and evac you pick up attack pilot skills easy. It's just i think default aircraft controls are really bad so i remap wasd for thrust adjustment and rudders and the mouse is for nose and banking, i also set E to nose up and Q to nose down which helps for hard maneuvers like low altitude barrel rolls. I enjoy getting in a littlebird and following the terrain while maintaining a 30 meter altitude limit - it's good practice and it's a good way to learn how to stay off enemy air/aa radar. Also setting some basic aircraft controls to extra keys is a good way to do adjustments while you use free look to judge a landing. I have a Logitech 3D Pro joystick but i never use it for ArmA because the joystick doesn't have force feedback and it twists which i find annoying, the thrust lever doesn't have a neutral position so you're always applying a little bit of thrust or deceleration. I only ever use third person to get to grips with new vehicles because too many times have i poorly judged my speed and altitude then crashed or ended up climbing way too high and losing all my speed then being shot down by a enemy pilot, getting to know your instrument panel is key to being a good pilot tbh.

pharoah 65 Posted July 14, 2013 I use an x52 + ch pro rudder pedals + track ir 4 but I find I still have to practice landings esp in small spaces ie hovering. Usually I use the editor to just fly the chopper around and landing every minute or so in the hills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
