How do you fly Helicopters?!

[Toad]

I downloaded the cobra and the Huey for CFS2 and I have no idea how to fly those things, my throttle picks the aircraft up and drops it down, but moving forward is slow and hard. someone have any instructions like extra keys to use???

Once you are hovering push your joystick forward to gain speed. To slow down lower the throttle and pull back on the stick.

To Toad,

To fly these extraordinary pieces of equipment you need to raise the throttle to about 80% or more (it varies between different Choppers). As long as you keep the bird level this should elevate you smoothly. To traverse forward lower the nose so that the thrust is pushing back slightly as well (A bit like swivelling the nozzles on a Harrier). Lowering the nose to 45 degrees is the optimum climb rate because the thrust is distributed evenly between the vertical and the horizontal.

Have fun flying those choppers and get back to me!
