ArmA 3 Helicopter Landings Guide 101 ►My Keybinds + Peripherals - GETTING STARTED!

►►DESCRIPTION◄◄
It's finally here! After months and months of commenters asking 'What joystick do you use?' 'What keybindings do you have?' 'Where can I find your hacks?' I can finally answer these important life questions today!
This is Part one of the Landing segment for this Arma 3 Flight lesson series, which will go over some of the more basic but fundamental elements of flight such as bindings, peripherals and practising. This took a VERY long time to put together...there were a LOT of bloopers, me screwing up on the commentary, and just editing in little details you might not initially notice, so it's more entertaining to watch/learn from.
Give me a rating IF you enjoyed this first episode!

Dammit man! Stop making better stuff than me!!!! Great tutorial man. Perhaps some key-bind footage showing your USE of those bindings for the next part of this tutorial set. I want to just give you my footage from now on so you can make my videos all epic too.

[@MisconductPilot]

what video editing software are you using? This is really well done.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Haha Misconduct dude, honestly thank you!! And that sounds like a good idea! I was maybe going to do just the virtual setup as it's easier to visualise, but I'm not sure yet! Still a long way off starting it haha. And loool, man, you do some crazy shiz, you just need to add the music on top and hey presto! Just read your other comment too and thank you again man! Really really meant a lot. This took SO long to edit + I had to force myself to troll on a KOTH server for the intro clips xD AND CONGRATULATIONS ON 10K subs!!!! Freaking crazy achievement man- you should be very proud of yourself!

[@MisconductPilot]

[@JJ-fn7lj]

I just completed the basic tutorial in VR training. I now have massive respect for anyone who can reliably pilot a helicopter. just stopping the helicopter where i wanted was a massive challange

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Having a bit of context really helps haha. It's trickier than it looks! Hope you enjoyed the video JJ

[@neoeriksson3023]

How did u do it?

[@user-mf6xm5pu7g]

I agree he makes it look so easy

It’s really not hard, you’re just bad. Skill issue. 🥱

[@bernardobe3580]

Its still easier than the VTOLs

[@shots9692]

I still come back to this video everytime I install Arma 3 again and need to get my Keybinds again. I learned how to fly from scratch years ago from TOMMEH. Still to this day the best teacher for Arma 3 flying

[@nitrolz8993]

[@colinhayes2081]

literally switched over from joystick to these, took me an hour to get used to and i was already performing bleeds and j-hooks. thank you for the amazing tutorial/key-binds. :D

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

No problem my friend! So glad this helped you! Had such mixed feedback on my bindings haha

[@ThaguyMike]

3 yrs later and it's still a awesome tut for someone just learning. Thanks bro

[@MisconductPilot]

Just re-watching this and grinning from ear to ear, that intro is too funny! Again great job.

[@xesxxx]

These bindings are definitely way better than the default bindings, but not having a turn left and turn right binding has made flying so hard for me. I never realized how much I relied on them until now.

[@voke4553]

So re-add the binds? Change the binds so that it best fits you & your needs

[@xesxxx]

@@voke4553 The turn right and turn left are the same as collective right and collective left. I have become adjusted to the binds now. They are nice as hell.

[@ReclusePhayder]

I'm already feeling the difference after about an hour of practice. I can get in much sharper turns and generally have much more control over my craft. Now I just need to develop a feel for my craft's size and I'm golden.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Man oh man, that is music to my ears!! This took so long to put together, and that honestly made it so worthwhile to hear. I've had alot of people come on my streams etc and say how the video didn't help really, as they couldn't adapt to the controls. Fantastic news to hear it works for you man. Keep up the flying my friend!

[@ReclusePhayder]

Hey man! Thanks again. Little update if you're curious. I've been practicing almost non-stop for the past few days and it's been paying off quite a bit. Especially useful the X/C binds for pitch. I saved my crash landing aircraft twice in two days (still crashed more often than not, but at least it's not a 100% death rate the moment I lose my tail rotor anymore). I've been meaning to ask you something by the way. What utility keys do you use? Most notably, countermeasures? I went ahead and set up my countermeasures to KP5. Secondly, the controls mess about with the Jet controls a little bit. I edited those for now as I'm nowhere near flying jets, but, I thought it interesting to have your input on those as well. Do you happen to pilot Jets, too? If so, you use a similar set of controls for those, yes?

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Hey! And that's what I like to hear. Non stop practise is what separates an okay pilot and an amazing one! The X/C is crucial, so I'm glad it's saved you a few times haha. As for your question about countermeasures, I use R for flares in both jets and helos. The controls do work with the jets, however because of the update you need to change around some of the settings. For example I use CTRL + C for radar toggle, Y for the jet targeting camera and left windows for the airbrake. All of these should work without any conflict with the helo controls. I would recommend sticking as close as possible to the helo controls as you do in jets, simply because of muscle memory, and how it will carry across more seamlessly than always using different bindings to fly jets and different bindings to fly helos.

[@plumdoggaming7658]

Well I use auto hover and my passengers love it. Great video. the first 30 seconds has me laughing

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thanks Plumdog mate haha, good luck with that strategy though ;-)

[@kebman]

I lauve that your auto hover! We can auto hover togeter, and just hover over evryone!!!11

[@lhd7105]

Pretty much the best Arma 3 chopper video this side of the galaxy. Thank you helichoppy sensei. When I reinstall windows on the gaming pc or what have you, first thing I do is visit this holy temple to dial in the best helichopper key-binds ever thought of..

[@bolan4185]

same

[@thegamecracks1317]

In addition to substitutes for track IR: If you don't want your FOV maxed out all the time using FOV changer, you can press every time you get into an aircraft to toggle a higher FOV. As well, in cases where you want to look down before touch down, you can use in advance to shift your view downwards. However, in an emergency landing, it's unlikely you will have time to do this. Use to recenter your view.

[@DailyWalk365]

I love the freedom and feeling of flying a helo. With that said, I totally suck at landing and turning close to ground. Your video has me rethinking how to fly. Thank you. To watch you fly is exciting and causes my old heart to pound.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

That's so awesome to hear DailyWalk! Thanks for the great comment, happy flying!

[@koonx]

I learned from my experience, that the key for being a great pilot is blasting those 60's rock songs from the vietnam war through the voice chat while flying.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

This guy. This guy gets it. He wins piloting.

[@openyourwebcamshowyourface]

I played unturned for about 3 years (i know alot) and got really good at flying. When i moved to arma, i had an extremely hard time with the controls. Because of your tips and your unique control scheme. I have gotten pretty good at flying. Thanks!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Dave thanks so much for sharing this! Really awesome to hear you're having a much better time. Keep at it, and you'll be an airwolf in no time. -Tommeh

[@karo6304]

Seeing this and especially in regards to the quality of the content made me think u had over 1 million subs. i was disappointed to find out that you have less then 5k You deserve more attention, great content btw

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Oh man this breaks my heart, everytime I read these kinda comments :( Makes me think KZbin algorithms are screwing me over lol. Thanks again friend, glad you enjoyed watching!

[@landenanderson4822]

lets just take some time to appreciate that landing at 8:49 Absolutely beautiful

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thank you Landen dude! Much appreciated

[@incomprehensiblekerfuffle]

Man can’t wait to get back into flying in arma again thx for getting me hooked

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Absolutely my pleasure dude, happy flying!

[@klan_dyke1779]

A helpful tip from me. Instead of constantly reloading editor, jump on zeus mode, this is free so you should have it in game ready at all time. To set up zeus - from editor, go to system on the right tab where you select your props and soldiers (it has a image of three boxes stacked) go down to zeus and expand the option, grab Game master with a eye logo and plot it anywhere on the map. From there, pick any men from the menu and select play as character. Use your keyboard key 'Y' to ping zeus and from there grab any helicopter of your choice and again on the right tab menu where u select your men, select modules and expand zeus which is located all the way at the bottom, there will be three option. Select remote control and u should have the option to select any vehicle. Once u crash u will return to zeus menu, replot helicopter and remote control it. Rinse and repeat.

[@braindamage_eclipse]

finally picked up ARMA3 this week, hadn't played since ARMA2 and I was pathetic then. Tried some of the heli lessons in VR using the default bindings and it was fairly hilarious. This is extremely inspiring. ARMA is a much bigger sandbox than I even imagined and I'm about to plug in your practice mission. (out of currency fixed-wing instrument pilot irl, would fly with me but not land me these days if you know what I mean... ) subbed!

[@_SixtyFLags]

Dude! This helped me so much! I was able to get down the controls and do a relatively good j-hook landing in 2 days of practice! This is the fastest tutorial explanation I've had! Thank you!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Man thank YOU so much for the amazing comment! This is incredible and exactly why I make guides like this. Happy flying and don't forget to share this vid with others! :)

[@Hololand]

Great video, nice to see you back on the KZbin. Gotta get back on it myself. Adding a note to what you said about controls. Guys don't get hung up on them. And don't fall into the joystick / realism trap. I have always flown with default A2 controls in A3 and A2, keyboard and mouse is also the best for flying in Arma games. The basic flight model simply wasn't made with joysticks in mind. The only real equipment that you should consider buying is trackIR like tommy said. TL;DR : controls most likely wont make you better and neither will track IR or any change of setup. Only practice will. Things like TrackIR only make it easier for already great pilots to become amazing.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Hey Holo man, it's been a while since I heard from you! I'd actually love to see your return. I thought your Arma commentaries were the bomb, would love to see more from you. And this: the joystick isn't everything. People want instant results, so buy joystick, spend cash = instant good piloting. This was kind of what I was joking about in my sellout intro lol. TRACK IR definitely is the best thing you CAN buy. Do what is comfortable, and shine with that. Practise practise practise. Great comment Holo man, and glad you enjoyed this one!

[@cuddles9576]

Damn your videos are so great, it really suprised me that you didnt have 500 tn subscribers, because you have really earned it! keep up the good work!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thanks so much William! That's very kind of you to say. Maybe one day haha. Cheers again, I hope you enjoy your stay

[@buddhad2150]

I've moderate Arma experience but I always wanted to fly better. Great vids. Thx

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thanks Buddha mate, much appreciated my friend. Glad to be of help.

[@billy2204]

using your keybindings, im already doing better within 10 minutes than hours practicing with the defaults

[@lordvalen8133]

Don't even fly and I can tell you the default binds suck.

[@sanderninenine5333]

As someone who has never used a heli i have decided to use your keybinds to get used to them, so far so good.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Excellent to hear man! I hope they work out for you :-) -Tommeh

[@arts6821]

At first it was a rocky start for me, but after having a few hundred hours of Arma 3 and most of it just flying, these controls truly do pay off. Everyone who ask me how I learned I always link them this video. By far this video has helped me become a pretty good pilot. Anyone who is also starting again like he said practice makes perfect and keep trying.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thank you for being a living testament to sticking out these controls! They really do work! A lot of people have been very sceptical about whether or not they work.

[@bolan4185]

I still recommend this video to anybody that is interested in becoming a pilot, and every single time i install arma again i go to this video and set up the controls

[@ademrax01]

Hearing that laugh at the beginning gave me so much hope haha

[@RAIDKI11ER]

This may be 4 years old but it's the start of my helicopter career with helping out transporting my friends. It's a rocky start for sure but I'll get there

[@SiritchPetrol]

I wish i had this keyboard setup when i started to play Arma and wanted to become a helicopter pilot. I love this keyboard setup, thanks for sharing it!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

No thank you for your lovely comment and kind words! It's my pleasure, happy flying Siritch!

[@MrWiggo91]

Good video and I'm glad your settings work so well for you. Personally I'll stick to my HOTAS Warthog and Thrustmaster pedals as the immersion I achieve with them makes the whole experience more fun for me and once you get used to the setup you can actually do some pretty cool stuff with it.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Hey cheers MrWiggo! It's nice to hear an alternative perspective, I've been really tempted to get into HOTAS lately but can't because I'm always on the move. I wish you all the best with your flying and thank you for sharing this!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

That's exactly the attitude you need - kudos to you man! Hope the vids help!

[@phutureproof]

These are great man, I'm playing the game again in 2020 with my updated PC that can handle the game. Now it runs much better it's like a fresh game to be honest, never got into heli's last time around but I'm loving them now and these vids are great cheers brother! Have a new sub! and stay safe!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thank you for such a lovely comment mate! Happy flying and cheers for the sub

[@EvilDogMedia]

Really slick, dude. So well put together. I almost wanted to reinstall ArmA 3 and get practicing until I remembered I don't own a TrackIR. :-)

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Cheers Evil my friend, glad you can see the work that went into editing this one!! And you could always try the no-track IR substitute, would deffo be down to play with you if you did!

[@perrytheplumberplatypus8976]

I personally love helos, one of the main things I wanted to do with my buddies was be their pilot, I believe Im decent at RSW helis, but then again they already had pilots and when I can't find servers its hard to be shot down by bots, and I believe that Ill go from decent to absolute shit, and I highly appreciate this from you.

[@Poodz_]

Good shit. I've stuck with W and S for cyclic forwards and backwards but moved my raise and lower to C and X, much less finger Yoga that way. You're right, mouse is much easier than a joystick in ArmA, I've been trying with the stick for ages and could never get it quite right. I think I'll leave the stick for other flight sims.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Glad to hear the binds are working well for you Poodz!

[@slapster2085]

Very useful video! Wish I had seen it earlier! I’ve seen a huge difference in my flying/landing after just one week. Great stuff!!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thank you so much man, I really appreciate you passing on your success story as it motivates me to make future videos like this! Sorry for the really slow reply btw haha.

[@Riccool]

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

[@and99kurland7]

Hello Tommeh. I saw your video last year. I didn't think much of it as I had not made enough money to keep buying minibrds. Now I have built a decent amount of 77k. That should be enough for 1 week

[@loslingos1232]

Thank you! I know this was made in 2017 but this REALLY helped me since I am used to Battlefield!! Thank you again!

[@mccvargues7792]

I use an rc transmitter (radiomaster tx16s) and it is godly. Its gimbals have the speed of keyboard, and the precision and smoothness of a hotas. Comming from race drones using a rc transmitter was a logical option.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

That's so interesting, thanks for sharing this!

[@apolakigamingandmore6376]

I played someone like you in an Asian Server, and he flies like you, I don't know if it's you or just some fan. *He's so good!*

[@PcimOlki]

Three wide angle (~100 deg) transmitting IR diode. Three resistors 180ohm. Any L shaped material as base. PS 3 eye cam with any IR (800-940nm) filter from aliexpress.com mounted on it. No need to remove IR filter in camera. Opentrack as software. Works perfectly. VTNHX.

This is awesome, gonna add this to my Track IR review description as this will help out people who want a DIY solution.

[@theopinionatedgamer9847]

Great video. I learnt a lot. Although personally I will stick to my hotas setup as I find it easier. Been using it for some time now so going back to mouse and keyboard for flight just seems strange to me.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thanks so much Trex! Really glad this video served its purpose. Good to hear, if you've heard of 104th Maverick, he's an excellent joystick pilot and he gets on just fine with his setup haha. Good luck flying mate!

[@Norkeys]

I fly like you with a joystick. You really make me jealous.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Haha, don't sweat it man. TRACK IR is the next upgrade for you then? :P

[@Norkeys]

CallMehTOMMEH Of course. I can fly just fine, but landing in tight spaces is so risky just because I cannot look around fast enough using my hat switch.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Hmm, maybe the FOV option could work for you until you get a TRACK IR. I mean it is dooable, you just have to be very spatially aware of your helo when going for tight LZ's.

[@Norkeys]

yeah, I'm going to have to.

[@dharmeshmistry342]

Super random but I just recently decided to come back here because of the popularity of Battlebit. Was flying a little bird and wondering why it just didn’t feel right, then realized all of a sudden that it’s because I wasn’t using these keybinds! I’d used them all the time in Arma 3 before.

Just finally started flying the helis today lol. It’s thought for sure but in all games I have always loved flying so I’m gonna get better at it

Can't say I agree with you on the joystick part, I got one despite what you said and it improved my landings, not saying it will be the same for everyone but I don't think people should discount one so soon. However using a thrust controller is not good for helicopters in arma 3

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

That's fair enough. I know plenty who do really well with joysticks (101st Maverick being one good example).

Found this beauty of a tutorial after 6 years since upload and gotta say it's been a gamechanger, what did you do about the countermeasures keybind though cuz it's default C?

[@Savsgames]

it will also help you aim if you keep your camera zoomed out, believe it or not. Beginners will think zooming in will help, but zooming in makes you spend too much time "fine-tuning" your aim. Camera zoom is only good for target acquisition, if you're on your own or your ground team doesn't have smoke.

I don't own Arma 3 yet, but I'm watching this in case I finally buy it, and want to fly the helicopters(mainly the Hummingbird tho)

[@Jaystarzgaming]

You also want to add a hole in a wall some people enjoy putting holes in walls when they are pissed off.

I am not gonna use those keybinds because for some reason, some binds are shared with fixed-wing aircraft. And I like having WASD bound to rolling and pulling up/down respectively. I would use them if these binds werent shared with fixed wing.

after a few years real world in helos 40 years ago and 20 years of home flight sims, I was a bit skeptical, but helos in Arma 3 really are quite good. My only problem with them - they might be a bit too good in Arma 3. You can do things with them that don't yet seem quite mechanically or aerodynamically possible in real world. Try a flight sim with difficulty set to max or near max, and you get a far better idea of what the limitations are.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

This is very true, but then again it is a game with a degree of arcadey-flex in it.

[@astaroth4226]

Yes sir subbed like the tasty sandwich that is satisfying only to come back for more

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Awesome thank you!

[@kthulhu9352]

I am still playing arma after two years after this was posted

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

As am I :-) It's a great game still

[@patrickbeyer8909]

i'm not a bad pilot. i can do quick combat landings. but i might wanna try your settings.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Give them a go man, let me know how they go for you! -Tommeh

[@JeremyMenefee]

You've given me hope that I might be able to land a helicopter... more than one time only...

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Haha, keep at it brother. Happy flying!

[@GZA036]

I prefer my old simple sidewinder joystick vs an x52 hotas.... but flying with a keyboard and mouse is insane

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

More power to you!

[@zilfondel]

Once you go HOTAS, you'll never go back!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Oh dear, the puns are stronk in this one... xD

[@theunknown9785]

Thanks bro this should help me. On my first flight I died cos didn't know how to slow it down on landing 🤣

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

No worries mate, hope the flying is going well! :)

[@Bleau1]

This video was very helpful and your a insane pilot thanks !!

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thank you Ryan!! Much appreciated

[@giz2001]

“Their is still some juice left in arma 3” 3 years later and this game still has juice

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

7-years strong, still going!

[@xavierh.5102]

I use keyboard controls so I can use my mouse to look around (I don't have track IR) unless I'm doing precision aiming, then I switch to mouse, mouse just doesn't feel quick enough to do actual maneuvers with. works pretty well for me but that's just my opinion.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Man if that works, more power to you. I've always liked the FOV option personally too.

[@benjaminriches9736]

My 3 favourite helicopters: 1)Wildcat 2)Merlin 3)Apache

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Agreed. Navy/BAF helos are awesome.

[@andrewjackson5363]

Awesome video! will be watching the playlist. Although The FOV changer corrupted the game and it couldn't launch...I'll have to figure that out

[@johannes7059]

Very cool video, really inspiring :)

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Thank you Mitze, glad you liked it!!

[@comcastjohn]

Thank you very much for your video. I will try your bindings. I just bought the eye x tracker but cannot get it to work in Arma 3.

[@CallMehTOMMEH]

Cheers John! Good luck with the bindings, I hope they work out for you!
