I admit I'm not a diehard flightsimmer. I am using a PS3 controller as my primary means of controlling aircraft, with the left stick set to aileron (L-R) and Elevator (U-D) controls, and the right stick set to throttle (U-D) and rudder (L-R) controls. Considering how much I use it, it works pretty well. However, I'm having some trouble controlling helicopters.
I can get a helicopter off the ground, but that's really about as far as I get. I usually lose control within 15-30 seconds, where I shortly land in a fiery conflagration.
Do you guys have any tips for keeping or regaining control while taking off or flying?
Cheers!
