Really wish they had a more realistic heli flight mechanics in DF/JO. I get they were trying to make the flight controls accessible for players, but I absolutely hate flying heli's in these games. Feels more like you're driving a bumper car in the sky. Like they designed it with a target audience of toddlers.

I also understand the games don't really have a physics engine. Even so, would it be so hard to allow the player to lean the heli with the mouse as the cyclic? You could even make it so you don't lose altitude when leaning, and just make the forward/back and left/right speed a function of the amount of tilt. Even that would be 100 times better than the current controls.

Speaking of premature ejection... I'll see myself out.
