Lessons learned while training in the chopper.

Here are some things that may help you manager the chopper in the game.. after trying a few things this is what works best for me.

1. Note to self,,, DONT use a joystick. I suck at it.
2. use same keys you normally use for forward and backward as keys for accend and decend.
3. use your normal left and right keys for yaw left and right
4. Use mouse to pitch forward and back
5. I dont use mouse to roll, i found it is much more manageable to use buttons for that " it is easier to hold a button for continous roll than to use side motion of the mouse. i use mouse3 and mouse 4 buttons on my mouse.
6. If you want to be in the air any amount of time.. do not take off without V-SMOKE (FLARES) which is found in vehical section of powerups.
7. deploy the vsmoke with your alternate fire button, mine is rmb.
8. when someone is locking onto you when you are tagged.. it flashes 3 times.. fire the vsmoke before it goes solid or your done.
9. find an empty server with helo's to practice.. hard to practice when you are getting killed at first... because you can do that yourself the first few times pretty good. .
10. I practise on 'Isla Inocentes' because it has two choppers at the start spawn.. if i crash one the other is waiting.


Let me know if you have other tips.
