Bot lobbies is a place to practice, thats for sure. Less players taking aircraft and crushing 3sec after in Pvp games, and also more time and no pressure to practice for newbies
Bot lobbies are too slow most of time your run ends getting lock on or destroyed by a bot using a RPG for flying too low we need a firing range to make thing easier.
Battlefield 4 helicopter controls were beautiful. Smooth and satisfying when you flew well. Controls became instinctual so fast. But Battlefield 2042 helicopter default controls were absolutely terrible and dampened the game because they thought that was an actual good idea…. Newest game is definitely not their jewel. That’s still Battlefield 3-4
Couldn't agree more. They are pushing to move the series in another direction that the community does not want. Sadly Dice is at the mercy of EA, who cares solely about making money and not creating a game we can love
Love to see more flying schemes! I had a hell of a time aiming. I figured out the bf4 scheme but yeah, that assisted flight was the reason! I was ready to freak out. I was a damn good pilot in bf3 and 4. Thanks again man. I subbed for sure.
I know you don't make content for this game anymore but man this game has helped me a great deal. I was an old BF4 vet and was ok at flying but this video has helped me a great deal. Thank you my dude.
I'm a long-time BF3 player who focused on tanks and helis as my vehicles of choice. I heard 2042 was much improved, and downloaded it again. This video gives me some hope that I'll be able to fly in this game, because i had all but given up. Much appreciated, thank you
Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking for this for a while. Great explanation and demonstration for settings change. The game isn’t great, at the same time isn’t terrible. But after adjusting a ton of settings it’s finally becoming somewhat enjoyable. Keep up the content sir., good work.
Wow man you are a very good player and teacher. Your voice is clear and the cadence at which you speak is almost calming . I am new to BF so this has helped me very much. Thank you for getting straight to the point man very well done video. This is top quality stuff!
WOW I have been struggling so bad with the heli assist and had no idea it was a thing till now, THANK YOU. MY GOD. All I did was heli in bf4 and Ive been struggling for ages on bf2042. THANK YOU THANK YOU
Dude!!!! you have saved me :D I have thought I totally suck with helicopters in this BF...I just could not hit my targets and was wondering what is wrong with me. It felt so different in comparison with flying in BF4. So I have tried different sensitivity, nothing worked so I gave up on flying. After I turned off "Helicopter control assists" I can finally hit my targets :) I do not why I did not think of it earlier, but thank you very much for this tip!! :)
Thanks mate, I wasn't aware that Helicopter Control Assist is preventing me from aiming properly. I always had the feeling that the Helicopter is fighting against me...I'll give it a try tomorrow so I don't need to play Bf4 again, maybe. More gameplay with commentary would be definitely interesting.
No problem, they really snuck it in there. The vehicles' survivability in this game is atrocious bro. I will see about commentating over some gameplay soon
@@AgeraXXX well the difference between a good and a bad pilot doesn't make that much a difference like in previous bf's... I'm looking forward to see some gameplay.
Figuring out I could just do solo/coop against basic bots to level anything up and get comfortable with various vehicles has been a godsend. Although it doesn't feel as earned as previous titles, I don't mind it. Plus who likes to hitch a ride with someone just trying to learn a heli.. so hop on those bot servers and earn your wings.
Thank you so much let me try … and study at home I am on the way home …for now … is it necessary to customize on pilot or just leave on alternate… flying ok right ??? I am very struggling on vehicles and air and helicopters… thank you
I think you should do whatever feels most comfortable to you. Dont worry about the settings. Just do whatever makes sense to you and that will give you the most success. I use alternate because that's how the controls were on BF3.
Imma be honest, I have not been on the game since it came out bro. I have no idea what they did, but I heard they removed it? I'm not even sure it's there. I'm sorry
@@NoBaconForYou Haha it's all good! It's so much weirder in this game because the helo keeps all that momentum pushing down into the turns. Also shoutout to ur dad man my dad got me into the battlefield series in the first place lmao. He used to kill everyone with the anti tank mines and MK3A1 lmfaoooo
@@AgeraXXX next time you’re on man and u see me on shoot me an invite I’ll jump into ya squad I won’t sit in a helicopter with ya I’m just coming along for the ride and the chat even if my latency will be shot
That explains a hole lot, just started BF 2042, never had this much problem with flying stuff. Very interesting and helpful 👍. New to PS4 (Game came with it, loving it)
I'll definitely gonna try this out. Never been a pilot in any of the game before, my lifespan is about max 20 seconds before I lose control and crash lol
I know the video is 2y old, but I’ll give your controller settings a shot. I played since BF4, but I wasn’t much about vehicles. In BF2042 I love them, every single one has a role to fulfill. And I fell in love with the Apache and Stealth Heli, but I’m still trying to learn how to fly those. The skill gap between ground vehicles and aircraft is HUGE. I am playing with the default settings. And when you look at the keyboard, they pretty much have the throttle in a different key from the yaw, which gives them a HUGE advantage over controllers. Idk, but I feel BF 2042 is good to at some extent. They tried reinventing (no one asked for it, okay) but they tried. What if it was a success? I digress here hahaha Anyways, I don’t play 2042 without a vehicle anymore. After the patch where they removed the third C5 from assaults and recons, the vehicles gameplay became insanely better. I don’t feel like a paper anymore.
A cool idea if you ever decide to continue these thoughts would be a controller map for people to see exactly what you're doing in dogfights and such. Enjoyed the video man, maybe you could make a video on pacing as well? That's what I'm hunting for personally
More so pacing for farming. I play a lot of breakthrough, and I get my 60+ kill games more frequently than not, but I still have plenty of games where it just feels like I could be doing way better. Like I'm just flying around some matches doing jack shit for my team and other games I'm constantly right spot right time the entire match mopping the entire enemy team
Is there a way to change the move has left/yaw right because mine are backwards it’s move right to go left and move left to go right and it kinda pisses me off lol
I have an issue with my right joystick. I have to move it about 70% in any direction to get the heli to start moving which isn't very great for aiming. Is there a way to fix that?
Hmm this seems similar to a problem another player in the comments was talking about. I have heard that the bindings are not working properly at all times. I know some people mentioned completely restarting the game after binding the controls, like they wouldnt take effect until the game was completely reset. I feel like that would not help but maybe u could give it a try? I might try to look into this as it seems to be an issue
Why does my screen look like yours? I have no where where it says controller mapping. I can't find out how to do custom controls in bf4 I used default and legacy. I can't get those controls.
Ok. I found it. They've moved controller mapping to:- controller schemes> edit controller mapping (which is on the left above all the controller schemes). 👍🏻
I've heard some people say you need to the "+" sign in the middle of the diamond reticle directly on the littlebird. However this might just be a myth. The night bird has a very small hitbox and is a slippery little fella when it gets locked onto
Ithis shit is so annoying to try and drive. Ive tried every setting possible and everysingle one ends with me barrel flipping into a building. The logic of the control dont make sense at all. Then i set something and it just doesnt work at all
@@danielw0007 According to this, it is NOT supported. Sorry bro www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/o58qhp/does_anyone_know_if_2042_will_have_support_for/
My issue is control. As soon as I start to turn I always seem to lose control and it just flips over and then I crash. Do I just need more practice or is there something I can do to help me out? I play alternate scheme.
I think theres 2 things to keep in mind, and its 1) Helis in bf2042 have a very strong sense of movement, meaning when they turn, they turn extremely sharp and fast. U want to be very gradual on the sticks. Also, try to make sure the heli in not tipping backwards in your turn. It should always have some forward momentum in a turn. Try playing vs bots to get the hang of it!
Excellent video. Thanks, question, do you have a video for the apache handling? And also how do you aim with the nightbird, I notice that the cross hair does not move
@@scatty3810 that's odd. I dont know why that would be happening on the current gen stuff. Did u look it up? I feel like I've heard others saying the same thing
Awe!! Thanks so much for that. I’m a new gun on the block playing for only a few weeks now and I’ve always been the heli pilot on 3and4. I couldn’t believe it when I flew on 2042 that it’s shit! How does anyone get a kill and fly these things. Can’t wait to turn that assist offff! F that self leveling bs. Let me fly! Thanks for this. Season 3 came out today. Going play.
I'm glad you were able to take something from the video. I'm very disappointed with the game it's too bad it was so rough. I dont really check my channel nowadays I apologize for late reply
Wow great video happy I found it most of this I already knew I partially run with the same setup you do the only differences is the motion of my stick and I fire with R1 and with L1 to zoom in vehicles but the back bumpers are a must for gas and brake and all vehicle.... the difference with my stick is I run with yall on the right stick and pitch and roll on the left stick this is basically how the flight controls are in Grand Theft Auto old school and a lot of other flying games that I've always played like Ace Combat..... the problem I'm having is I can push up on the left joystick two nose down but when I pulled back on the left joystick to pitch up it does nothing I tried everything to get it to work it's the only button that will not work it is keeping me from flying and I love the little bird if anybody knows anything to fix this problem I would surely appreciate it
It sounds like u may not have the pitch down mapped? Did you check and see if it was not mapped in ur bindings? I'm not sure what else could cause this
@@AgeraXXX yeah I went to controller mapping and erase the left joystick completely and then mapped it back to the pitch and roll and for some reason still even now I cannot pitch up the only thing I haven't tried is completely wiping it back to factory settings which I'm dreading because it takes so long the map each button back out correctly
@@cincin0722 I'm trying to think of all the possible reasons this could happen, the only thing I'm wondering is the button possibly not taking effect because the game is saying it's a duplicate input? I'm wondering if it's not binding the button there. Also what system are you on? Also I heard some people saying they had to completely reset the game after setting their binds or they would not take effect. Have u tried that yet?
@@AgeraXXX unfortunately I'm on PS4 I was thinking about the multiple inputs on the one stick I did delete the whole game and had to reinstall because for a week straight I was stuck on the boat screen and I did map all them buttons before that happened to me I was hoping on these last couple updates something with change but nothing's happened thanks for rocking your head though for trying to figure it out ....I might just have to remap it and try different things to see if I can get the work and then go back to it
@@cincin0722 I'm sure you are, but are the settings on custom? I know certain binds dont work if it's not. Another ps4 player commented about 15min ago having the same issue as you. I'm wondering if this is a ps4 problem
@@AgeraXXX Found where they moved the Controller Mapping tab for the Series X and I feel a bit foolish - under Controller Schemes, it is right there on top, above "On Foot" is "Edit Controller Mapping" (I thought it was just a heading title). Highlight it and press A. This takes you to "Key Bindings" tab where you have access to "Common", "On Foot", "Vehicle Driver", "Transport Driver", and finally "Pilot". Select "Pilot" and now you have access to "General", "Movement", and "Weapons & Equipment" where you can bind the keys. Hope this helps others that are searching for this.
Would love to see your updated settings, seems like Dice did some of your recommended changes. Still tweaking my settings and it's getting easier to aim but you are one of the few that is on console that's good and shares. Happy to climb aboard your aircraft if you need a repair crew chief 😎. Sun and some Mondays are available.
Nice vid, helpful tips for beginners to know which button mapping & loadout might be best for them, that assisted control function looks so frustrating I can only imagine the rage unaware people have while flying 🤦🏻♂️. Also are you running motion blur? It only seemed like it in the beginning when you had the fov cranked to the max which could be it but just in case, make sure that crap is turned off in case you missed it.
@@AgeraXXX the flying mechanics when going side ways left and right. Also something when i move it goes down or up. Idk how to explain it I’ve never flown helis Because of this
@@mrpleezy oh I think that's because u need to use the left stick to "yaw" the heli and the right stick to "turn" it. Try playing around in the training and understand the two sticks movement and want they do and then combine their movements together

I don't wanna red heart
I just want an answer Will it work for this joystick?

Great vid -- THANX !
Thnk u!!!
My issue is control. As soon as I start to turn I always seem to lose control and it just flips over and then I crash. Do I just need more practice or is there something I can do to help me out? I play alternate scheme.
I think theres 2 things to keep in mind, and its 1) Helis in bf2042 have a very strong sense of movement, meaning when they turn, they turn extremely sharp and fast. U want to be very gradual on the sticks. Also, try to make sure the heli in not tipping backwards in your turn. It should always have some forward momentum in a turn. Try playing vs bots to get the hang of it!
I just waited to buy the game for $10 and now I’m here to set this crap they did to the heli, lol. Thanks man.. RIP Battlefield
Yeah u were smart. I, on the other hand, spent 106 dollars on a pre order lol. Huge mistake for me
very helpful, thanks
Thnk u!!!!
Where do I find the controller mapping tab
Controller schemes then edit controller mapping. They changed it
Thank you . It is completely bothersome trying to manage with regular controls . I didn’t know all of these options were available
Yeah i agree the default settings are total garbage idk why they keep trying to force us to use these
Excellent video. Thanks, question, do you have a video for the apache handling? And also how do you aim with the nightbird, I notice that the cross hair does not move
I just lead the shots bro lol I kind of guess my shots. I may make an atl heli guide
Any help on why the custom button mapping doesnt pop up for me?
I have heard it's an issue on X1 and PS4. What console are you on?
@@AgeraXXX xbox series x
@@scatty3810 that's odd. I dont know why that would be happening on the current gen stuff. Did u look it up? I feel like I've heard others saying the same thing
@@scatty3810 hey they moved it to a different tab bro. It's still there but in a new location
@@AgeraXXX Forsure, ill look into it
Good lookin out!
I don't have that controller
mapping on menu on ps4. Is that only ps5?
I think it just got moved bro
Great info!
Thank you!!
Awe!! Thanks so much for that. I’m a new gun on the block playing for only a few weeks now and I’ve always been the heli pilot on 3and4. I couldn’t believe it when I flew on 2042 that it’s shit! How does anyone get a kill and fly these things. Can’t wait to turn that assist offff! F that self leveling bs. Let me fly! Thanks for this. Season 3 came out today. Going play.
I'm glad you were able to take something from the video. I'm very disappointed with the game it's too bad it was so rough. I dont really check my channel nowadays I apologize for late reply
How can you change crosshair color for helicopters?
I have not tried to myself. I am not sure where but I'm assuming u can?
@@AgeraXXX I’ve seen a lot of UA-camrs with a crosshair with a different color when they’re in a helicopter or a jet, I think u can
@@alexium9813 if I find out I will reply to this
@@AgeraXXX thx
What about how the helis want to automatically lecel back out when shooting at ground targets?
Its killing me
Never mind you got it.
@@WillySnakes Yeah that is so friggin annoying lol
@@AgeraXXX subbed
@@WillySnakes thank you!
Im having problems with contoller binds in game plz help
Make sure that the Air Vehicle Buttons are "Custom" before you do the binds! I had the same issue
insane🔥
Thank you!
thanks u guy u are the best !
Thank you so much!! 😇
ah finally, I someone who understands stupid and can explain "piloting" in this game.
Lmao no problem man
Wow great video happy I found it most of this I already knew I partially run with the same setup you do the only differences is the motion of my stick and I fire with R1 and with L1 to zoom in vehicles but the back bumpers are a must for gas and brake and all vehicle.... the difference with my stick is I run with yall on the right stick and pitch and roll on the left stick this is basically how the flight controls are in Grand Theft Auto old school and a lot of other flying games that I've always played like Ace Combat..... the problem I'm having is I can push up on the left joystick two nose down but when I pulled back on the left joystick to pitch up it does nothing I tried everything to get it to work it's the only button that will not work it is keeping me from flying and I love the little bird if anybody knows anything to fix this problem I would surely appreciate it
It sounds like u may not have the pitch down mapped? Did you check and see if it was not mapped in ur bindings? I'm not sure what else could cause this
@@AgeraXXX yeah I went to controller mapping and erase the left joystick completely and then mapped it back to the pitch and roll and for some reason still even now I cannot pitch up the only thing I haven't tried is completely wiping it back to factory settings which I'm dreading because it takes so long the map each button back out correctly
@@cincin0722 I'm trying to think of all the possible reasons this could happen, the only thing I'm wondering is the button possibly not taking effect because the game is saying it's a duplicate input? I'm wondering if it's not binding the button there. Also what system are you on?
Also I heard some people saying they had to completely reset the game after setting their binds or they would not take effect. Have u tried that yet?
@@AgeraXXX unfortunately I'm on PS4 I was thinking about the multiple inputs on the one stick I did delete the whole game and had to reinstall because for a week straight I was stuck on the boat screen and I did map all them buttons before that happened to me I was hoping on these last couple updates something with change but nothing's happened thanks for rocking your head though for trying to figure it out ....I might just have to remap it and try different things to see if I can get the work and then go back to it
@@cincin0722 I'm sure you are, but are the settings on custom? I know certain binds dont work if it's not. Another ps4 player commented about 15min ago having the same issue as you. I'm wondering if this is a ps4 problem
I’m actually good at flying in every game but in bf I can’t fly a helicopter or jet for 5 seconds without crashing😂
Have they removed the Controller Mapping tab?
I think they did but I cant remember where 😭 it's in the comments here somewhere
@@AgeraXXX Found where they moved the Controller Mapping tab for the Series X and I feel a bit foolish - under Controller Schemes, it is right there on top, above "On Foot" is "Edit Controller Mapping" (I thought it was just a heading title). Highlight it and press A. This takes you to "Key Bindings" tab where you have access to "Common", "On Foot", "Vehicle Driver", "Transport Driver", and finally "Pilot". Select "Pilot" and now you have access to "General", "Movement", and "Weapons & Equipment" where you can bind the keys.
Hope this helps others that are searching for this.
@@dennisclark1927 Awesome dude! I pinned ur comment so hopefully this helps people
I hated how it automatically repositioned my aiming sight up, all I had to do was deactivate it 💀 thanks for the video 😅😅
No problem. The game is so bad lmao
Omg no wonder why it kept tilting upwards when I try to shoot players, it’s so annoying! Thank you👍
No problem it was so annoying for me too!!!
the pov and flight assist were good tips. Rest is kind of personal preference
Sure thing!
Would love to see your updated settings, seems like Dice did some of your recommended changes. Still tweaking my settings and it's getting easier to aim but you are one of the few that is on console that's good and shares. Happy to climb aboard your aircraft if you need a repair crew chief 😎. Sun and some Mondays are available.
Appreciate it G!! Thank you so much
Seriously the wired guide missile on the attack helly mess up and the missile to to manny iglas and super lock on all days
I agree. The wire guide sucks lmao
@@AgeraXXX yes that why I when to warthunder fake this game
Is it the same in the jet
Yes, but I dont think thr control assist applies to it sadly
Nice vid, helpful tips for beginners to know which button mapping & loadout might be best for them, that assisted control function looks so frustrating I can only imagine the rage unaware people have while flying 🤦🏻♂️.
Also are you running motion blur? It only seemed like it in the beginning when you had the fov cranked to the max which could be it but just in case, make sure that crap is turned off in case you missed it.
Yeah bro I turned it off after reading this. Man the game is so broken it's just sad for vehicles rn
I don't see controller mapping anywhere :(
Is there the tow missile, we missed it sooooo much!!! My favorite type of missile
Yes for the attack heli!
Thank you!!
You're welcome Matt!
I always wanted to learn how to fly the helicopters lol hopefully this helps
Nope still hard for me to fly these lol
@@mrpleezy what do u find the most difficult?
@@AgeraXXX the flying mechanics when going side ways left and right. Also something when i move it goes down or up. Idk how to explain it I’ve never flown helis Because of this
@@mrpleezy oh I think that's because u need to use the left stick to "yaw" the heli and the right stick to "turn" it. Try playing around in the training and understand the two sticks movement and want they do and then combine their movements together
@@AgeraXXX trading? Where is that
