stop playing CS 30 hours a week...  hopefully you didn't skimp on the stick...it makes a difference. I've found the force feedback ones are the worst as they seem to wear out the fastest. Keep it calibrated. Read the flying hints and practice practice practice..... |

Like Groovy says......calibrate and practice. One thing to be aware of is that it is very easy to over-compensate in a turn or maneuver. Don't throw the joystick around wildly. Relax, don't panic! Use small incremental movements (especially important when hovering over a flag) and easy, smooth motion until your ready for the hairpin 180 or a barrel roll!
One thing I've noticed in this game (compared to DC and POE) is that the physics of flying a helicopter are by far the most realistic I've experienced and I've logged a lot of hour in helicopters...albeit non-military. Though I did fly in a Huey (Bell 205) that served in Nam!

Thanks for tips... I'm still having difficulty landing but i've managed to stay in the air much better...although my boy is still better than me and has logged more hours ;D
How about the planes, do you guys actually land them or just parachute out when your done with em?
