Pilot Lessons with Krihelion [Arma2OA Un-Modded]

[krihelion 175]

Hello!

I have noticed, that alot of Day Z players do not know how to fly, or they can but at a very low level. So I thought I would offer pilot lessons to the DayZ community who wishes it.

I have created a mission on chernarus with all helicopters that you may encounter, and a few planes(No Warplanes).

I will teach, how to do a non-hot take off, hot take off, non-hot landing, hot landing, how to land and take off without auto hover, flying techniques, how to fly while under fire, and more. The lessons will take about an hour and I can do up to 2 people at a time. If you are interested let me know in this thread.

You need to be able to launch Arma 2 OA without DayZ, need a mic, do NOT need a joystick, and the wish to learn.

Great idea. That's something I'd love to do as well. In fact, I might just go make this mission right now for future friends/players who have no idea what they're doing :P

Lol pilot lessons...

Flying in Dayz is so Arcade and easy.

DayZ isnt a game. Also, 99% of all pilots are baddies on dayz

This is one of those things where it's easy to be okay at, but takes a lot of practice and training to be great at.

Being a good pilot has saved my life countless times in dayz. I once got in a chopper on chopper battle in dayz. Lost them while flying nap, and managed to catch them while we were hiding. My door gunner slaughtered them.

Lol, the basic tutorials are pretty bad

I think much of the "bad pilots" are due to Arma2 airplane controls. I couldn't fly for shit with the default controls. I fiddled around with them and found a much more logical way to control the helicopters. Now i'm reasonably comfortable flying helicopters and my buddies trust me to be the designated helicopter pilot if we acquire one.

I honestly have no problem with them,they are made for joystick use mainly though.

Well, being a good and great pilot requires practice, yes. Practice, not lessons. You can take(One 10 minute lesson?) to learn the basics. The rest of it is to practice a bit. And its not so so hard to be a great pilot.

Anyway, the initiative is cool

This is how I learned, I spawned every air vehicle in the game on a Chernarus scenario and flew everything. Might be a good idea to server force a view distance so you can remove that annoying fog. Think you just make a Game Logic and type in "setviewdistance 5000" or whatever you want.

You either learn to fly with no more than 500 meter view distance or you will run into problems when the weather turns bad in DayZ.

A pilot needs to know the map in and out as well as know how to fly well without taking extra time to do takeoffs and landings. (Autohover will never be good enough for this)

Yeah, but its good enough to let you at the very least take off and land without dieing horribly so you can learn to do all the fun shit like fly ~8 meters off the ground through a big city.

My point is that to understand how to do things like hot landings, autorotations etc. you need someone to show you how to do it, and tell you what you need to do.

The fact that every single helicopter pilot I see in dayz still uses autopilot is proof that they really only have the most basic of an understanding.

This pretty much, also I doubt more then 5% of DayZ pilots know what their systems even mean, other then holy shit im on fire going down. Knowing how to land while in a tail spin is very important.
