So uh... I think I finally figured out how to fly.

You're going to slap your foreheads on this one:

let go of RT.

...

Seriously, I was treating this thing as an accelerator. I don't know why, but I had it in my head that it wasn't something to be let go of. I would release it in short bursts, just for tight turns and whatnot, but now suddenly I'm flying without it depressed the entire time, and I find that I can actually get the chopper to do what I want it to. This is amazing.

Now I just have to figure out how not to strafe into buildings and do backflips.

Really? What controls are you playing with?

Cause I fly with the BC1 controls, but if all you have to do is let off the accelerator, I might have to try that.

BC2 standard, inverted.

Hmmm now that I think about it, I do have a habit of holding RT down. I might start trying this out too, because I am a terrible pilot.

Let of RT?

translate that to BC1 controls pls.

maybe that means letting off of the left joystick

Oooh. Crammy I think I might be doing the same thing.

Been a while since anyone has let me in the pilots seat though...

Top shelf stuff Frosty.

I remember when I "learned" how to fly. I'm at the point I can keep a chopper from crashing, but as far as being a good pilot...... yeah I have a long way to go

Yeah, I can fly the blackhawk in a straight line. Be jealous.

Damn it Cram! Stop revealing the secrets of pilots!! For the love of god man, I'm terrible in the gunner seat. Piloting is all I got!

Seriously though, this is probably the most critical thing for the attack choppers and when I finally figured out that that was why I was doing such tight strafing I eased up on it. Now I tend to half squeeze the trigger and kind of "baby" it.

Its so much easier to pull off a tight circle with BC1 controls. Seriously guys, try it out..
Sometimes I can even manage to point straight down on top of a tank like this.

Now for the real secrets...

Spoiler:

im sure youve seen people do this before, it works.
