I JUST bought this game yesterday and I am at a total loss on how to play it. I printed the manual from Steam and it does not show any keyboard commands such as is listed in the options section of the game so I am having to type every one of them out. I have a Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X V.2 joystick. It only works some axis's and not in yaw. Is ther a how-to on how to program a joystick here on the forum? Also, is there a way to view your helicopter from the outside? I can't seem to find a command for that anywhere. Thanks.

I was responding to your comment about being "lit up by evil mods". Now, as to my needing advice, 1) I have searched the entire forum using several terms, I am looking for info on how to program a Thgrustmaster T-FLIGHT HOTAS X joystick. It will not work in the yaw axis. Thanks.

Some mods on some forums are on a HUGE power trip. They are most likely 40 year-old overweight virgin males living in their mother's basement. If they kick me off so what? My LIFE does not revolve around a GAME or a forum where "mods" are on a power trip. There are many other ways to get information about a game besides a forum. And BI better be careful not to let these idiot mods mess with people because they WILL be notified and I DO vote with my wallet AND let them know it. And, I know they listen. I am a mod on a different forum and no one there is on a power trip like I see in some game forums.

Thanks! I'm gonna copy this and print it out and try it out. As for flying, well, I spent my entire life working and flying aircraft so I know my way around everything from hot air balloons, to Cessna's to 767's. It's just the PC sims and configuring I have difficulty with but eventually I get the bugs worked out. Hence the questions here at the forum. Helicopters however, I have zero experience with. I know a lot about how and why they work and the maintenance aspect of them but I never got a chance to fly one, yet. I have spoken to a lot of pilots and they say it's sometimes like trying to stand on a basketball. But, if Princess Fergie and Prince William can fly one then I can too! LOL!

Dan, thank you so much. Is it possible to write a brief walkthrough guide for me? If not I'll understand.

Not very convienent is it? Would have been better to have the commands in the manual. Oh well, I guess I'll have to live with it.

hon0, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS BRILLIANT! Whoever did that did a real nice job. I appeciate it! A LOT! ---------- Post added at 14:27 ---------- Previous post was at 14:25 ---------- My bad. This map is for ARMA, not Take On Helicopters. Oh well, it coulda been useful. :(

Thanks, I saw the controls and I think I can figure out how to map the joystick but I promise you, I did not see numpad enter for external view. In fact I didn't see ANY commands for external views. I saw helicopter controls, vehicle controls, infantry controls, aircraft controls, custom, and I think that was it. But what really galls me is they make a manual, I print it out and it comes out tiny because of the format they use, and they don't list those keyboard commands. I have never seen a game manual like this, they assume you already know all the comands. Am I supposed to stop the game every five seconds and go to the controls option to see what each key does?

OK, thanks. I have never played one of their games before. I don't even know what Arma2CO is! I'll have to look it up. I just thought this helicopter game would be cool as I spent my life in real-world aviation.

If you don't own the game then why are you even on the forum? I don't understand, this is supposed to be the Take On Helicopters forum isn't it? Or am I in the wrong place? Thanks for your suggestions, I will try searching.

Um, yeah, sorry, I didn't know. Please don't get so uptight about it, it was my first post and I just asked a simple question. It seems your're more concerned about your forum rules than helping someone.
