First of all thanks to all who have submitted usefull posts in this thread :D I think it's the "not slowing down to turn" part that I haven't been doing which causes the poor turnability. Also the Throttle Control is something I will probably have to get used to I think but I do hope the guys who made ArmA 2 will make sure it's analog somewhere in the future :) One thing I would like to have confirmed is this part from the post above : You are suggesting to "double bind" these controls to the wrist handle so to speak ?? I think this might be one of the main things I am having problems with !! By the way : I have also used Mouse+Keyboard in BF2 since it gives you waaay better control of the choppers but in ArmA 2 I somehow feel obligated to use a joystick ;)

Dear fellow helicopter addicts, I couldn't wait for the DEMO to arrive and to pretty much test 1 thing and 1 thing only : The helicopters :D But... I am having some problems which I can't really sort out and it's keeping me away from buying ArmA 2 and playing the MP part with fellow FPS addicts => - I can get in the air and so it seems even hover a bit but the main problem I am having is loosing altitude and crashing into trees or ground while I am pretty much sure the specific moment at that moment shouldn't cause a crash. - Turning in the helicopters is a real PITA : I have even mapped my Logitech G25 pedals to the L+R pedals and press/move my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro wrist handle at the same time but it takes ages to turn ... - A decent landing with the BlackHawk is also a pain... I keep damaging it or approaching too fast :( Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong ?? I understood the speed controls are digital instead of analog at the moment : Could this be the cause ?! FYI : I have quite some history in Battlefield 2 helicopters or as most of us call them "choppers" and there pretty much isn't anything I can't do with them within game limits ;) I would like to move on to ArmA 2 because it would give me more realism for both me and my main gunner and hopefully our main jet wingman too :D #1 reason is the size of ArmA 2 by the way and the possibilities it gives for vehicle addicts. I have also played Delta Force Land Warrior in the past so ArmA 2 should cover some of those infantry aspects ;) ... also I have skipped ArmA 1 because of low online player counts... sorry !!
