Ok I did research forum and I even watched 24 min long video on video.google.com about flying and stuff, but I still cannot master it. I use only keyboard when I fly in heli and so what I try to do is push Left Arrow, then D and W, and it just does not work. Thanks for help

Use a mouse and keyboard

It will be much easier then the arrows....

Do you mean pivot on the spot or fly around in a circle?

oh god... I have absolutely no idea what it is with a keyboard... hmm, let me see, with a joystick it's twist left, pull right, and slightly forwards. So, A, mouse to the right, and up. Or D and to the left..

Start at one fixed point, and make left or right turns to arrive at that starting point.

the highest... don't run out of mousepad.

get a joystick. It's much harder initially, but it pays off. If you really want to fly, that is. Not the occasional game of Sharqi

buy a joystick it far easier just circle and play with the throttle and you have no problem repeating those 360s

If you want to circle strafe, you tilt the helo into the opposite direction you want to circle, then strafe into the opposite direction and play with your throttle.

I got my sens on 5. It's a good mixture of fast movement and keeping the helo easier steady.

Roll one way, rotate the opposite, power between 0 and 30

Yeah, just think of it as circle strafing, Both opposites roll one way an vice versa

Tilt left, holding nose slightly towards the ground and push right rudder (D).

Yes, the torque needs to be low first. Killing circle = meat grindage.

Use mouse/keyboard but turn the sensitivity way up and u won't run out of mousepad. Plus u get smoother movements with the mouse rather than just arrow keys.

Shut up if you're not going to help, please.

Everyone here has said in theory what you do, as a straight keyboard pilot here are the keys.

I hold w the whole time unless I want to lose altitude without changing my roll or pitch.

Use the left/right arrow keys at the beginning and then sporadicaly, just get your roll right or close the first time and then leave that pretty much alone unless you're trying to vary the speed of your circle.

Pretty much hold down a/d the entire time, depending on which way you're going, never use these to stop or change directions unless you have already rolled in the other direction. Edit: Depends on which way you're going because it's the opposite.

Then the forward key is your bread and butter, use it to tilt your nose down once you get a curve going with left/right and a/d to determine your diameter, speed, pitch to hit targets, and is most useful when coming out. Lean hard on it to go faster and in a tighter circle, bringing your tail up higher as you go. If you really hold this arrow down and lose everything else barring w, (and things to keep you stable) you'll come around one more time with alot of momenteum on your backside and the ability to swoop down for a final attack run.

Hope that helps.

tilt 15 degrees to the left or right, use "A" and "D" to move, and use the mouse to keep your nose pointed in the same direction
