SQUAD HELICOPTER GUIDE | Part 1: The Basics | Flight Controls, Flying, and Landing B20

[@kanahbis3236]

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

[@Overlordien]

LOL

[@ballaking1000]

It's only sensible to load up as many people as you can knowing damn well you're going to crash... I know it's just a game, but damn what a dick move; I definitely understand their anger. I imagine you've become much better now at least? lol

[@kanahbis3236]

@@ballaking1000 nope still just as bad and nobody was angry it was more funny hearing middle aged men screaming like little girls then the screams just go silent as we impact the earth

[@ballaking1000]

@@kanahbis3236 "nobody was angry" "funny hearing middle aged men screaming"... So really it was just yourself who found it funny.. Even though it can be a bit much when people take a game too seriously, but still... why not have a little decency in not screwing your team over? It's just a game, but an absolute dick move on your part as soo much time and mental energy is invested in these games and to screw your team over; potentially wasting 50 hours of peoples time (a full team playing 1 hour)- just for a little laugh... That speaks more about your character and who you are when no one irl is looking as opposed to them taking the game too seriously- and much of it rightfully so as it's just straight up a completely senseless and asshole move by you.

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

[@MAarshall]

Haha me too, holy crap. Jut flying through the circles took forever :D

I can fly alright in Arma 3 , DCS , but Squad , I crash everytimes xD

[@InsaneActual]

hahahaha

[@y4mach]

I just started and something 😂

[@lakehelton1337]

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.

[@colechampion4295]

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

[@cameronriccio6050]

Yea I noticed gaining a ton of altitude using this technique, the updated flight model is way different

[@MoneyTrees2012]

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.

[@prestonmarks5927]

Amen brother, u forgot don’t take the heli if u can’t fly lol 😅 so many times I’ve seen people crash from main

[@RezEcho]

Awesome guide man, looking forward to more!

[@thedumbestdoge881]

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

[@mojo9285]

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

[@jaytm6719]

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!

[@rockit14]

Fantastic video Cwar - loved it man

[@anthonyphillips4850]

You deserve so many more views

[@WarfighterGroupMilSim]

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! More to come in a couple months! 😊

[@johnbirdsall677]

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

[@johnfoster8226]

I think you are confusing it with elevation

[@SlydeWai]

I know this is old, but altitude is for both land and sea

[@robwilson2324]

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

[@stanleymunro1500]

Wheres part two? Lol great video

[@WarfighterGroupMilSim]

Editing right now!

[@MAarshall]

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.

[@Richie_]

Great explanations.

[@Gordye]

I love aviation and I’ve been practicing helis on squad but since I’m a kid people don’t expect much and are mean ;(

[@isolatednf9228]

Gordy Muffin Same here man I’ve got 90 hours in the helicopter and people usually underestimate me until I land and take off in 7 seconds, Anyways wanna play together we would be a great heli team!

[@Gordye]

[@Gordye]

Isolated NF also I’ve never done commander stuff I’ve tried and got people mad at me because I’m a kid

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 #subscrizzled

[@homie3394]

Thanks, it's handy and simple

[@vicentefarfa8028]

Keep ir going man You Will be great

[@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

[@mitchr482]

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

[@dakotakinert1994]

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

[@LtOogway]

does anyone have the issue where their helicopter keeps rolling to the right? I can't solo heli and drop off supplies efficiently when hovering because its ALWAYS rolling to the right.... so annoying

[@Techlics]

for me the nose is automaticly going down alway so i cant hover at all

[@Smooth_Operator]

@@Techlics same, have you found a fix?

[@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.

[@minhnguyenle5230]

Guys, if you overcorrect to much, the Warp Drive kicks in and you're flying faster than lightspeed.

[@goldridder]

I really, REALLY need help with inverting my pitch. I can't get squad to invert the pitch. I recently came back to Squad after playing Elite Dangerous in VR for the last 4 years, and I CANNOT pitch up with a downstroke on the mouse, but, inverting in settings, is not taking effect...

[@TaliZVasTyria]

Hello I put a link to your video in my video desc to help pilot in squad learn

[@buck3336]

How often do players get to actually fly in this game? I find it hard sometimes even getting in a tank crew in Postscriptum.

[@kevin-jm3qb]

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

[@TheWinrarz]

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

[@charlipez]

Adminchangelayer. There's also a thing on the workshop that you can download where you can use "adminchangelayer heli" and you can choose a map that you play on in multiplayer and practice helis. Way better than the current heli training map.

[@lonely-duck]

Im going to buy the game and i was always transporter pilot in battlefield 4 and 2042, will it help me to be good pilot? And also is it hard to take one?

[@rich1958]

What is best joystick to use for this? I have been playing squad for 5+ years and never never gave helicopter flying a chance (after my initial try and fail).

[@orochimaychris8945]

As interesting as i found this video, i was wondering if you could simulate some helicopter combat maneuvers such as: Break turns, cross turns, tac turns, hook turns, shackle turns, split turns and dig and pinch :)

[@vhscopyofseinfeld]

Pretty sure textbook terrain flight decelerations are impossible because the aircraft’s reaction to the collective drop is too late.

[@ComfortsSpecter]

Flying from the ghetto seat I love sqaud

Joystick support has not been officially implemented in Squad, but it is planned on the Roadmap and supposed to come in 2021.

What are your controls

[@ryanm.191]

i love squad and would love to become a pilot in it, however for me the flight model is horrifically crude, with it feeling like the developers lazily hacked the vehicle into the game.

[@ryanm.191]

@@chadsteadman2604 thats just flying a helicopter, one input affects two other things. its just the flight model itself and the controls are terrible, they need to look at arma 3s flight model

[@KaiSoDaM]

i could fly on arma ii with my arms tied, could do any kind of manouver, land almost anywhere. but on squad i struggle to just keep the heli on the floor... i just wants to fly all by itself sometimes

[@ryanm.191]

@@KaiSoDaM Yh same, arma 2 and 3 I’m always the best pilot amongst everyone I’m with, not the best ever ofc but def a much better than most, but the squad flight model is that of the advanced flight model but really cheap

To new pilots...ignore all this technical jargon, it’s useless. It’s a videogame and only requires practice and getting a feel for how the heli flies. No amount of 50% this and collective that will help you get better. Only practice will make you a proficient pilot.
