Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat

does anyone know how to fly the helecopter

hold W then use the mouse to tilt it. you will need a lot of A and D to control it. to hover just keep tapping W.

i keep my finger on the w but it does a flip

do i have to move the mouse up or down

lean slightly forward then pull up to set off. dont let it spin too much, use A n D to sort that. if you start falling sideways, use A n D and the mouse to turn into or away from the way your falling, its probably best to pull both in the same direction, but try not to spin

i will try that thank you!! it was driving me nutts
also is there a way to change the view while in the helecopter that may help

press C, but only use nose cam (sights only) the rest are terrible

thank you your da man!!!!

see you in the game

buy a joystick and practice. Its to hard with keyboard and mouse.

Actually I find it's 10x more easier to fly with a keyboard than anything else, and I've played games such as Desert Combat, F-22 Raptor, F-22 Lightning 3, F-16 MRF & MiG-29. It just takes practice, that's all.

easier when flying a plane, but not so easy when flying a helicopter.

Actually, the game itself makes it far easier to fly a chopper than a plane.

You could take off in an F-16 and come off the map in 5 seconds, without looking where you're going. Also, far to easy to crash when dive bombing vehicles. Choppers are easier to manouver (sp?) as you only need to increase collective.
