Get your Helicopter Control Binds here!

[Melbo]

So I have quickly knocked up a few binds to make those of us who are used to flying helicopters with the mouse and keyboard like in the Arma series.

 

Copy the text below and place in the input.ini which is located in X:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\SquadGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

 

Mine looks like this:

 

Currently the keys are set up like this:

 

Q+E = YAW Left + Right

A+D = ROLL Left + Right

W+S = Pitch Up and Down

Shift = Collective Up

Control = Collective Down

 

Mouse movement will also control Pitch and Roll.

All keys can be rebound to whatever keys you wish. I imagine controls can be bound to joysticks too but I am unable to test.

Any problems then please post here. Hope you enjoy the flight

[Smee]

nice one dude

[Dubs]

Melbo to the rescue!

[gshAT]

was testing a little bit with the scale settings especially on yaw - control.

devs should have a look into it to evaluate if there should be a max value!

 

btw:

if you are wondering what to change:

mouse input only needs the positive value, the other one you can delete

Yup or just putting // before the line should do the trick.

No one is making you use this

Really nicely done! One issue though, freelooking still disables all other input. Still can't look into a turn

This is excellent!

 

Has anyone tried to fly helis with a Logitech ExtremePro 3D?

Hi There,

I have problem. I would like use My TM Hotas x but at the moment i can not remapping that. Unfortunately the throtle is working like rudder and axis 4 work like throtle. I can not change over that two axis in game. I tried to be use the out side software to config but at the moment working crossly the Squad base joystick setup and the remapped too so two functions on the same axis. LoL. I deleted Steam controller. So My question is: How I can setup My joy axis or how can I clear the joystick in the game?

Thanks for any helpfull answer! I would like swap the Z and RZ axis.

You should be able to edit the .ini file to fix this. Do clear the controls you can just wipe the ini file.
