Aaaaargh!
I was an ace pilot in all aircraft in Flashpoint, now I can't take off in the AH-1 without crashing.
I figure it's not entirely my fault, however, because it appears that the helo doesn't necessarily require any input whatsoever to make it move.
AH-1Z:
If I get in, switch off mouse control, start the engine and lift off, the AH-1Z drifts backwards at a more than noticable rate without me touching anything.
If I do touch any controls, they are so sensitive; tapping WASD as lightly as I can causes the helo to pitch/bank about 30 degrees in the respective direction. The rudder controls XC cause a turn of ~30 degrees *and* a bank of similar magnitude (for some reason). Now I know that the rudder does give rise to a small bank but 30 degrees is ridiculous!
If I try navigating by mouse, the helo could do anything. Move the mouse left and the helo *usually* goes left. But sometimes it goes right, or left *then* right, or right then left. The same applies to forward/back motion (pitching forward/back).
UH-60:
This is not without fault either. I find it difficult to control but this time it is mostly my fault and it'll just take some getting used to. *But* the rudder doesn't do anything at all unless I'm in auto-hover. Speaking of which, it seems fine at high altitude but if I get below about 50m, strange stuff starts to happen. Sometimes, the helo will only move one way around (for example, press 'x' and it turns round to the right (clockwise), but pressing 'c' does nothing or also turns to the right. In addition to this, at about 20m altitude the helo sometimes starts swinging back and forth as if I was pressing 'a' then 'd' and keeps doing this until I gain height.
I have so far only tried these two 'copters, but it will probably do the same to the rest. I've seen harriers around so I assume you can pilot them but I don't know how they are controlled.
What the hell is happening? And is there any way to change the control to replicate OFP?
