Flight Manual

= GETTING STARTED WITH FIGHTER PILOTS =

How do I get started? Well you need a pilot. Like always, it's recommended to have one infantry at all times. Don't level your first character up and make him a pilot without having someone else to make you money! Pilots can not join encounter or skirmish battles! Also, not every assault game will have planes in them.


 * Why don't all games have planes?
 * Planes will be in a match if an assault team commander (rank 12+) sends one of his assault teams to the match you are in, or a staged battle that is set up with planes in it.

Flying Tips
Flying takes some time to get used to. You will need to get familiar with the different controls, such as your basic steering controls, your bomb key, your primary fire, your secondary fire and your free look key.

General Controls
There are three control modes, classic, mouse, and camera.

Classic

 * Roll and Pitch: mouse
 * Yaw: A for left, D for right
 * Acceleration: W to increase power, S to decrease
 * Bomb: space bar
 * Primary (MG): left click
 * Secondary (cannon): right click
 * Pan key: shift
 * Debug Controls: ctrl (Swaps control of roll/pitch and yaw between mouse and WASD, throttle is locked)

Mouse
This mode allows you to primarily use your mouse to fly around. Aim where you would like to go and you will go this way. In this mode, all attack controls are the same, W manually increases throttle, S decreases throttle.

Camera
Camera is very similar to mouse mode with a larger white cross hair pointing to where you want to go and a red cross hair pointing to what you are actually pointing at
