How to fly
Basically you need a large map to take off and landing WAC aircraft

Aircraft

Take off:
You started the engine, now press ”W” to accelerate, wait about 1~2 second then move your mouse forward(don't let go of the "W")
you will have now take off.












Flight:
So you are in the air now.
You can try let go of the "W", usually the plane will not fall without accelerating.
now you can use mouse pull up/ down and key D/A yaw left/ right to to do basic control.
If you want turning faster you can use mouse move left/ right to roll left/ right half and move mouse forward.












Landing
First, press "S" to decrease your speed; but don't decrease too much otherwise you will stall then fall.
you can slow down slowly by continue pressing and releasing "S" key.
Next, drop the height to a little higher than the ground.
if you pull the head too steeply toward the ground; the propeller will be crash by hit ground
Now you close the ground, use mouse to pull little up and keep press "W" to slow down, also you can just kill the engine to decrease.
look like stall and fall but at low enough altitudes they should not smash off.













Helicopter

Take off:
You started the engine, now press ”W”, you will have now take off.

Flight:
Helicopter is easy to take off but not easy to control.
First you need keep hovering.
Basically you have to observe the direction of the helicopter's offset;
if offset direction forward you need pull up(move mouse forward) to get backward
offset direction backward then you need pull down(move mouse backward) to get forward.
same thing, if offset to sideways you need roll(move mouse left/ right)opposite direction to get balance.
you need move mouse slowly otherwise you will easily lost control.
If your helicopter close lost control, you can try press ”Alt” to get auto hover

Now you want go forward, move mouse backward pull down to get forward, but you will but same time you will be loss altitude.(if angle more bigger, then speed will more faster)
so you need press "W" go up to keep altitude.
If you want slow down, move mouse forward pull up to get backward.











Key ”A” ”D” can make you turn right/left.

Landing:
If you can easily keep hover then it was nothing for you,
or you can press ”Alt” to get auto hover.
Now you are hovering in the air, you just need press "S" to decline.
Other
If you still think WAC is hard to control you can try those tips
Use 3rd person view are more easy to control aircraft.
Found WAC setting turn on the “arcade mode” or set “sensitive” to 0.8
Add “Bail Out” addon ; if your aircraft lost control, you can use bind key to escape.

Hope this guide can help you guys! 0w0
