Hi pilots,

Please could someone explain to me how to hover a helicopter. I can take off (just) and fly (barely), but hovering has me beat.

I am flying with mouse and kboard as my Logitech joystick doesn't like BF2.

Thanks

PS: This would help all my passengers disembark safely instead of parachuting out :o

If you hover, you just need to tap it now n then to maintain your height.

I've done that before -- as spec ops.
Was such fun... just as the pilot thinks he's getting away... KABOOM! :)
