John McClane Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 5/28/2016 6PM EST Hello everybody, i will be doing a basic flight school for I&A this week. Anybody can be a good pilot, you do not need a joystick or TrackIR. I started flying with my mouse and keyboard when Arma 1 was released i then flew with TrackIR and a logitec G940 which was awesome but now that those no longer work after 2 years abuse im back to my mouse and keyboard. Dslyecxi from shack tactical fly's with mouse and keyboard but he has TrackIR. Now If you have a joystick you do have a pretty decent advantage and better control on your landings, but if the approach is proper, a landing should be pretty simple. And like they say practice makes perfect, if the servers are empty or you are board hop on the editor and fly around push your self and find ways to make your flight safe. You will not receive any kind of special treatment over others when it comes to who gets a pilot slot!!!! This is gonna be done on my own private server run off of my computer (10 Slot's) Maybe EU 4 if it is available. If you are not able to land/take off without autohover, i suggest you practice more in your editor and join us the next time i do one of these. Things We will go over! (Basic's) - Choosing the right helicopter for the job! - Safe flying habits for around the base! - Choosing a LZ! - Choosing a mental flight path! - Taking off! - Flying to the objective! - How to evade enemy AA jets! - How to approach the LZ - How to land at a LZ! - Coming back to base! - Approaching the base! - Landing at the base! Note some of the thing's i will teach you might push you past your comfort zone, but its gonna be just us in the server so if you do mess up just learn from it, thats the point of using the editor and little classes like this. Get in while you can, depending on my work schedule i might be able to do 2 in one day. - 1 [Liru] - 2 [CobaltCat] - 3 [PO57Code] - 4 [SOMEONE] - 5 [Tony Pestroni] - 6 [Anyone] - 7 [Stian] - 8 [OPEN] - 9 [OPEN] - 10 [OPEN] Next week we will cover the basic's of flying CAS and the AA jet.

Liru the Lcpl. Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Where's the "Avoiding Liru's AA missiles" tab? But seriously, looks great! I hope we get some good pilots out of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltCat Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 i would like to advance my flying skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentes Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 On the subject of peripherals, I'd add that the single best thing you can do for your flying, is to get a pair of pedals for yaw control. Unfortunately, I don't think a "good" pair of pedals even exist; to my knowledge, nobody makes any. That said, a cheap pair is a worthwhile investment. Just remember to lock your wheels if you're on a rolling chair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrogen Peroxide Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I would love to join and increase my piloting skills even more (even though ive become quite attached to my wasd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hydrogen, have you figured out your ts issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If there is some room for me, I'll gladly fly some. There's always room for some improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure this destroys my oppurtunity to join in? Edit: If i am able to fix it before 5/28/2016 12 am will I get a slot may there still be one?

Hydrogen Peroxide Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Geuss I won't be joining as i have no idea how to fix it. I think I'll see you on a server then. Have a great time teaching these pilots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P057code Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Having taken part last night, the small group learning is always great. Thanks to John for doing it, and everyone else for taking part. I'll probably take part in another one, but, its all about getting confident to do stuff. xSniper1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSniper1982 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I wasn't there, but I heard on TS that it was a really good experience. Thanks for taking the time to do this John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
