Hey, have big problems to solve the helicopter-missions in acceleration pack.
Cant hover to pick up some load or to drop it.

Is there any key to activate "autohovering"?

Some tips

thanks

Hovering depends on small movements, it is best to practice this using a tower or something alike, trying to maintain roughly the same distance and altitude.

Make sure you only use small inputs to correct, and try focussing yourself on a tree or something in the distance to base the movement on.

You could also visit hovercontrol.com or hoversafe.com for a wealth of information on helo flying.

It's a lot like patting your head while rubbing your belly, while chewing gum, while riding a unicycle on top of a beach ball which is on a flatbed truck going down the highway... only harder. Grin

I suggest visiting our good friends over at Hoversafe http://members.shaw.ca/hoversafe/Hoversafe.htm and work through their tutorials, by the end of those you'll be flying choppers Airwolf style Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
