Actual xbox controller support for helicopters would be nice. I shouldn't have to fart around with 3rd party mappers to attempt to get them to work. Hopefully because this is still in Alpha they would be generous enough to do this. I hoped they would have done it anyway but it is still the same. Disappointing.
My main gripe is that the k/b and mouse setup seems super unresponsive or just wierd. I get how its supposed to work; the mouse is your cyclic and use the keyboard for everything else but it just semes to fail hard. Like gaining altitude, it'll just stop some times for seemingly no reason. I'll be zipping along and a hill will appear and I'll press Q to get some altitude and... nothing.... hillside is getting closer.... still nothing.... gonna crash.... stabbing the key relentlessly, still nothing....
The pedals? WTF is that? They turn the chopper like they should then it just snaps back to where it was and then stops working. It's been this way for me in all the ARMAs. I can fly fine in Flight Sim and stuff like that, but ARMA? Makes me want to shoot my PC.
Xbox controls would be super easy:
Right stick: Cyclic
Left stick L+R: Pedals
Triggers: Throttle
Bumpers for shooting and switching weapons
face buttons for... getting out and stuff I guess
D-pad for looking around or whatever I dunno.... could use the mouse for that...
Whatever, point is it super would work and just... why not?
I'm going to keep practicing with the keyboard and mouse because I'm the only one of my friends even slightly prepared to fly a chopper but damn a pad would be easy to implement.
