Tried to fly a full seated helicopter for the first time ever and flew straight down into the ground after ascending to the heavens and their scream as we made impact with the earth is why im here

I’ve been playing squad for nearly 100 hours now with only a few hours on the ground, I love to fly and can definitely say these tips will help people of all skill levels.

[catthomas]

I think I just crashed 10 times on my first training session. Came here

Would love to see a new update with the new flight controls.

1. PLEASE do not argue with the pilot on where to drop you off. If a location is hot and he can't drop you right on your mark that's pretty much it. You will have to run the rest of the way.

2. If you ask for supplies with a helo, don't ask for them if there is enemy armor nearby. If it's clear one minute and then hot the next minute while the Helo is en route then LET HIM KNOW. So many times I've tried dropping supplies for people who failed to mention enemy armor nearby (armor that isn't marked)

3. If you choose a helicopter on either the right or left helipad, that chopper is yours. Don't take another squad's helicopter if it spawns in first or if they aren't spawned in or around. Respect other peoples rights to vehicles.

Awesome guide man, looking forward to more!

I just tried flying for my first time today I’m the training. Was expecting it to be like GTA flying. Crashed 1000 times but it’s so fun to learn

[mojo]

Best guide so far thank you for helping me being a good pilot

[robwilson]

Love the video! Also, it's awesome that every step was the most important thing. Lol... Actually, you're spot on

[jaytm]

I love this video mate! I don’t have a PC (yet) but play aircraft sims on my iPad, but have always wondered how to fly helo’s better and more realistic. This video helped and has me wanting to get a PC asap to play Squad as a pilot as well as other positions. Thanks for the amazing video my guy!

Haven't played Squad in ages, and ended up BSing around on a really cool server that no longer exists. Met a dude who 'taught' me some flying after he picked up my fireteam blasting Fortunate Son lmfaoo. I actually didn't do terrible (can't J-hook but can get her to A and B with minimal ouch) and had a great time!
Redownloading Squad so I can get back into it and practice and hopefully someday master piloting. Gonna put some hours down in training mode with your vids as a guide. Thanks for the vids

Not sure if it's a bug, but my rudder indicator never change. They're locked in that 50/50 position, doesn't matter what I do really.

[mitchr]

Can I use a flight control setup? I have a pretty good set up for both rotary and fixed wings for flight sims.

[BrooksnHooks]

Any tips for people who are trying to make the transition from test server to live server? Because live server definitely places you in scenarios that are hard to replicate on the test server…. And people on the game nowadays seem pretty unforgiving for learning pilots

[kevin-jmqb]

trying to remap the collective to mouse scroll wheel. doesn't work any suggestions or workarounds?

[GrimsyTV]

I'm struggling to maintain altitude at speed. I always seem to end up climbing or losing alt. Maintaining my pitch only makes me gain alt.

[johnbirdsall]

just a technicality....Altitude is the distance between you and sea is the distance between you and the ground beneath you

[dakotakinert]

I am always moving my body to the place I am trying to go, for example I lean to the top right if I am trying to get through one of those pesky loops and it is higher and to the right, hoping to increase my momentum using my body lol

[TheWinrarz]

Does anyone know if the command for changing maps in training has changed? adminchangemap doesn't work for me

[thokolyut]

How am i gonna see the squad leaders mark if im not in his squad? please respond
