Can you please go back to the previous physics model settings for the dropships?
The current physics model makes the controls too sensitive and overcompensating for rolling is making the craft too unpredictable to fly in a straight line for any length of time.
What was wrong with the previous model?
I could get my ship to fly straight, hover over the battle so that gunners could rain fire on our foes & I could also land on top of towers without rolling the craft onto its roof & thereby making it useless.
Also the cost is a bit high at 151K per milita body frame with minimum fittings, it should be at most half that cost.

The prevailing wind thing is a little weird. Sometimes can't tell if it is meant to be wind that I am flying into or if the physics is messed up and has me fighting against the momentum of my last pass over the map. Should not require me to do a quick turn and gun engines twice as long in the opposite direction just to stay stillGǪ unless it is a very mighty wind.

All you need to do is put your nose up and cut your thrust. The rise from pointing up and the fall from cutting thrusters will cancel and you'll remain at the same height, but you'll dump your forward momentum. If you do it right.

Ha, I have been doing fairly ok at staying still. There are just times when I want to go forward and am still staying still. It usually happens after drifting at a nice pace over the map for gunners when I want to go back to the other end and start another run. Problem is I cannot get forward momentum in that opposite direction. And just end up getting nowhere.

Thus my flying into the wind theory. But could just be my flying... period.

Have you tried rolling? Let the ship bank in the same direction that you're turning, and it should neutralize your tangential. Once you're pointed where you want to go, put your nose down until you're fairly low; you'll pick up speed. When you level out and start climbing, you'll still have your forward momentum.

Also, it would be nice if they added an "autohover" mode akin to Arma II's. You could press X to toggle, and it would stop you and hold you still. You could move with it enabled, and it would stabilize your flying, but you would go considerably slower. Would be great for pickups, dropoffs, and fire support though.

I preferred the old controls, but the new ones would be ok if you could hit X or whatever to activate "easy" or "hover mode", more akin to the old physics. You would then move much slower, but be more able to control it for landings and around buildings. The hover mode should also make it impossible to get flipped over by scraping on the the side of buildings and things, really easy to do when your trying to land, and you can't easily right yourself again.

At the moment dropships handle like helicopters, which is pretty silly, I mean this is the future right? There should be lateral thrusters on these things.

I wasn't having a go at helicopters really, I was just saying that they fly forwards/back/left/right by tilting the rotors to move that downward thrust at an angle. Dropships shouldn't necessarily have to do that, they should have thrusters on the back/front/sides, so if you want to slow down you can fire the retro thrusters on the front of the vehicle.

They currently feel like helicopters, but with the rotors on the bottom of the ship. Very weird.
