It’s takes some getting used to, but once you do, it’s the best scheme for flying with the KB/M I’ve seen. The best thing you can do, is fire up a single player game with 0 bots and just fly around until you get a feel for the controls.

HINT: Sprint is thrust for forward movement. Walk is the air brake. You might want to bind those to something more handy for you.

(Stroggafier) #3

Be sure you have the “sprint” toggle, ie <Shift> key, turned off before entering the aircraft.

Its not a car, handle it slowly. Get yourself up in the air and learn how to operate inverse controls.

I personally changed the inverse controls normal…that helped. But yea, just go single player on say quarry and try to just go vertically up first, nothing else (just hold up), then move a little forward, making sure you keep balance etc etc etc

Btw SHIFT = boost (how you go forward)
CTRL = Break
use the mouse to steer

What Chance said, Szakalots flyer guide is by far the best there is. It focuses on dogfighting with the anansi, but all the basics are in there as well, and a lot of footage in high quality.

Szakalot is the clued up dude :slight_smile:

Personally i swapped the controls around for flying
space - up
shift - down i think… never use it
w - forward
s - backwards

served me well

Hope you enjoy the narrating :stuck_out_tongue:

is missiles from flyers damage Team mates ,same for tanks are they damaging teammates ?

(Szakalot) #12

of course they do

Most important thing is to remap the keys because the default config sucks terribly.
For example, I have the sprint key on my mouse (side button) which also works as the flyer “forwards” key. Much easier than to control ALL keys (W,A,S,D,forward,brake) with the left hand only.

Also deactivating the cockpit view is better.
And actually the “advanced” flyer controls are easier to use than the normal ones.
(last 2 things can be changed in the menu easily)

Don’t forget you can change between flyer weapons (mouse wheel or 1,2 number keys) too.

What are you on about, the default keys are perfectly fine apart from the decoys. I disagree with advanced flight controls being easier, but you definately need them on, you can do so much more once you’re used to it.

maybe i need little alter my mouse sensitivity/DPI[5/3200DPI currently]? or try more serious ETQW fly guides ? :-/

Try different things and see what is working, its all subjective, there is no one way that is proven to be better.

That flying for dummies vid is so awful in both sound and video quality I can’t be bothered to look at it for more than half a minute :tongue:
Just look up szakalots ultimate flying guide, that’s what you want.

Don’t be another one of these boobs who exploits the bug that is flying the anansi/torm. It starts out innocently enough. i think flying is cool, which it is, then you see the developers were on crack and gave the flyers the most firepower and the most maneuverability/speed and the downside of less armor is almost nothing since you can law spam from halfway across the map if you insist on not dying. Then you get in this im great mindset, you only ragequit, and you post topics about my personal best xp per campaign being some huge number… Don’t be one of those boobs, they make lousy teammates and generally are useless on the ground when the last objective goes inside… What’s left of the player base has plenty of them… Yawn
