Flying a helicopter in DayZ

[Zeppa 562]

Flying with heli is EASY from the start even with mouse... I dont now how someone can fly with keyboard(in bf3 and arma) its awfull, you have no feel for the thing at all..

And the autohover is stupid function imo a bit useless(maybe not for beginners), and default keys for flying sucks bad... specially if have got used to bf3 keys, I changed those right away.

It aint so much differend from bf3 heli flying, turning aint so fast and agile(Forward flight) in arma.

Its roughly the same. Just be aware that landing on slopped ground will cause the chopper to fly wildly in 1 direction.

Auto-hover will be your best friend for the first few days of flying.

Auto hover is for pussies the only way to learn how to ride a bike is to fall down and get back up again, not fall half way down and have air fill your sails and straighten you out.. no such thing as magic air unless your farting while zipped up in a sleeping bag

If you have a multiple buttons mouse,try to have the "brakes" on it.

Brakes? What would brakes do on a helicopter with skids?
