Impavido 0 Posted May 10, 2003 I like how fluid and easy the helo controls in OFP are (The planes need some work though, LOL) One common thing I do when flying a helo is I push the * button (on the number pad on right side of keyboard) to unlock the view of my character. I turn my head out the side of my helo so I can see and circle a target or point of interest while not having to fly towards the thing to see it. Please keep this head turning feature but I would like to see a slight alteration to it: Assign a keyboard button to "unlocking" the head of your character. Lets say its X. When you push and hold X your mouse will control the head of your character and not you weapon/vehicle. When you release X your head goes back to the direction you were aiming/flying. Anybody else think this would work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me-forever 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Alt already does that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Impavido 0 Posted May 10, 2003 No theres a difference. The * on the num pad is a toggle, its like and on/off switch and its on the opposite side of the keyboard so its kinda ungainly to reach for it while flying in a firefight. What I proposed is- 1) a button closer to the left side of the keyboard, close the WSAD set most First person shooters use. 2) a button that is nNOT a toggle switch. You HOLD it down while you want to free-look with mouse and RELEASE it when you are done. Once released the charaters head returns to his facing/vehicle.

LaPoieto 0 Posted May 10, 2003 I think Hudson's F/A 18 was very easy to control and all of the planes should be that easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubble0zero 0 Posted May 12, 2003 I want it to be as real as the real thing it can be... (that didn't make much sense did it ) What I mean is that I would like it to be as close to flying a real chopper/plane as possible... But ofcourse that is something that can be changed in the dificult settings... The game should have a dificultysetting that only real pilots can handle really good, and one that allmost anybody can handle, and ofcourse all in between...
