The controls are fine, if you played BF3 you're basically dealing with the same stick flight controls. You know, up and down on the left stick controls pitch, or bringing the nose up and down. Left/right on the left stick is the yaw, or moving the nose left and right. Left/riight on the right stick is roll.

You just have to get used to them is all.

I like the layout of the flight controls and the low-speed flight mechanics are as enjoyable as ever.

I just completely hate the dropship's "plane-mode", or more importantly I despise the way it changes to and from plane-mode. Every landing maneuver is about somehow forcing the dropship out of plane-mode and then making it do what you originally were looking to do when the DS is back in "flying-brick-mode".

You'll pretty much instantly be thrown into flying brick mode.

It is unbeleivable how poorly designed the flight controls are. It seems to be deliberatley made to be difficult to use. It makes no sense that with the exceedingly advanced technology of the EVE universe that the aircraft can't have controls that are stable and easy to use.

Pressing forward and backward and left and right should go forward and backward and left and right gorizontally and nothing else.

Each direction should only affect that direction and nothing else. The craft should not spin out of control due to more than one thing be affected. When you want to go in a particular direction you should be able to do so with a single push or press with everything else automatically being compensated for. Direction should not affect altitude and vice versa.

It is absurd how unstable it is and unbeleivable that it can't be better.

May I suggest switching your flight controls to south paw, it works for me and mostly everyone I suggest it to.

Southpaw sucks! : ) just my personal feelings.

To each their own..... that being said, if one has had the flight experience from BF3, they will find it fairly similar when it comes to the joystick operation.

HTFU wannabee pilots. I put my million isk in DS' to learn how to fly them. Now I can make it do whatever I want (barrel rolls and loop the loops included). There is no way a simple control scheme would allow for the flexibility and absolute freedom that the current one does.

All dropships, over militia level, should have a built in afterburner, just to start with the buffs, they shoud also have a command for static flying or to be parallel with a flat surface under the ground, to be sure to have a plane angulation.

An artificial horizon and altimeter have all been proposed by many others as well as i, but to have a hover function is just plan amateur, you hover by controlling your ship.

Flight controls are not poorly designed, but simply more realistic. This isn't a helicopter, it basically is a flying brick supported by thrust alone. It behaves as it should. However, having a button to hover in place is something I want to see.
