How to make flight more fun!

[Impavido]

I like how fluid and easy the helo controls in OFP are (The planes need some work though, LOL)
One common thing I do when flying a helo is I push the * button (on the number pad on right side of keyboard) to unlock the view of my character. I turn my head out the side of my helo so I can see and circle a target or point of interest while not having to fly towards the thing to see it. Please keep this head turning feature but I would like to see a slight alteration to it:
Assign a keyboard button to "unlocking" the head of your character. Lets say its X. When you push and hold X your mouse will control the head of your character and not you weapon/vehicle. When you release X your head goes back to the direction you were aiming/flying.

Anybody else think this would work?

Alt already does that http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

No theres a difference.
The * on the num pad is a toggle, its like and on/off switch and its on the opposite side of the keyboard so its kinda ungainly to reach for it while flying in a firefight.
What I proposed is-
1) a button closer to the left side of the keyboard, close the WSAD set most First person shooters use.
2) a button that is nNOT a toggle switch. You HOLD it down while you want to free-look with mouse and RELEASE it when you are done. Once released the charaters head returns to his facing/vehicle.

I think Hudson's F/A 18 was very easy to control and all of the planes should be that easy.

[Jinef]

they should have options to be that easy and vice versa!

ahhhhhhhhh i don't want another simpleton flight model!

I want it to be as real as the real thing it can be... (that didn&#39;t make much sense did it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif)

What I mean is that I would like it to be as close to flying a real chopper/plane as possible...
But ofcourse that is something that can be changed in the dificult settings...
The game should have a dificultysetting that only real pilots can handle really good, and one that allmost anybody can handle, and ofcourse all in between...
