Tactics and Cheats for Smooth Sailing
- Use In-Flight Camera: Adjust in-flight cameras to get a better vantage of nearby objects, improving coordination.
- Airborne Adjustments: While performing stunts or acrobatics, adjust speed mid-air.
- Emergency Response: Keep handy a parachute to bailout during accidents or emergency situations.
- Master Altitude: Control elevator for height adjustments and avoid spatial awareness pitfalls.
- Turtle-Pacing: Manage slow-motion transitions to improve control on tight terrain.
- Practice at Unruly Airspace: Develop emergency skills in turbulent atmosphere conditions (weather).
Avoiding Radar Lock-On: Effective Navigation
To ensure evasive maneuvers, use weather systems like storms or fog.
When to Use Advanced Flares
In conjunction with fog, weather conditions mask radar coverage.
Masterclass Stunt Flights (Helicopter, Stunt Planes & Fixed-Wing Flying)
The Perfect Start: Fixed-Wings and Practice Stunts
Use basic flybys (Fixed Wing) and learn takeoffs. Mastering acrobatic stunts: dives, climb, roll, and 180.
Helicopters
Whirligig
Hover with low altitude and medium to high rate.
Hoverboard
Precise hover control between vertical surface and a slight to significant movement.
Hoverball
Gently tilt & hold then return to mid-air as needed.
Multi-Tackle
Stunt Piloting (Aggressive Driving & Acrobatics) Lessons
Stuntplan (Helicopters/ Planes/Rotating Wing)
- *Roll**: Fast and Smooth; Tilt to roll fast (FWD/BRT/LTF).
- *Reverse Roll**: From a roll, swiftly shift between roll & opposite (fast/slow/hold); Reverse Roll Fast/Hold/Slow Roll (Back/Roll; B/B).
- *Razor-Wing**: Edge fly forward/backward (<50’/>50′) during hover roll; Hold Hover then tilt; Edge Flies on Hover.
- "Edge Flight Hover": Fast Flies (>50′) without control: "FastFlightNoControls".
- "Hover Reverse**: Holding Hover; Low-Hight-Mid-Cycle"; Hover & hover control cycles.
