Helicopter Takeoff

[Ace42]

Double check your joystick is properly calibrated in vBF2. I had to clear my settings in vBF2 to fix some PR issues, and of course it wiped my controls. When I tried to take off a huey full of a squad, assuming I had correctly remapped my controls, I found left and right were reversed and the more I tried to pull to the left to correct the banking, it rolled to the right. Not pretty.

Wait 50 seconds for the huey to wind up. Even then, be weary, soldier..

The huey is the greatest heli in the mod!

atleast in my opinion, i think it handles great, but others dont think so.

The reverse throttle button (default S) is one of the only undo buttons in the game. One time I dropped off a sniper in the mountains on Muttrah City and got my littlebird stuck on the side of the mountain, all I had to do was reverse throttle until my littlebird reached the crest of the mountian then I took off and made it back to the carrier alive.

It's got a bugged startup time.

yer you have to sit there for bloody ages and even then it takes off very slowly, I find circling for a bit to warm up the rotors is the best thing to do.

Yea thats bad, but i think that the huey is the most fun to pilot especially low and fast, its quite agile IMO, hovering is also harder than most other choppers IMO. But nothing is perfect right? there are tend to be setbacks for each helicopter ingame.

And Project Reality is all about patience anyway, a minute of waiting might be irritating when enemies are shooting at you, but when your safe on a carrier, why not wait instead of rushing into action and dying with the helicopter serving little or no effort to win the game. Its not like the huey is bugged to an extent that it blew up on takeoff...

Yea just wait 30+ seconds and then use 100% throttle.
