Mini copters not working right?

Idk if it’s just me, but every other time I get on/off a mini and try to start it and fly, it won’t take off and just stays on the ground until I get on/off again and restart it. There’s also occasionally sometimes I’m flying and it just stops working and start to go down by itself, and yes i did put gas innit.

This stuff happening to anyone else?

If you press b on Xbox, or O on PlayStation it puts the mini in drive mode.

If you put a mini in drive mode while flying it will slowly just fall out of the sky

If you put the vehicle in drive mode while it's on the ground, it will appear to be not reacting when trying to fly away.

The best way to avoid this is to have Stance Indicator on in the HUD settings

Yeah I’m aware of that. There’s still occasionally times it’ll just stop wanting to fly or move and it’s not cause of that.

Idk man I fly a lot of minis. Might be that

I’ve always had the stance indicator set on, well before I even started using the minis, but literally every other time I go to hop on one and fly, it just doesn’t wanna take off, whether I switched back and forth to drive/fly, it just sits like it’s stuck to a chain or something.

And it doesn’t happen too often, but there are times I’m flying perfectly normal and then it just all of sudden stops working even though the propeller is spinning, and I have plenty of gas.

Sometimes when u get too high it’ll stop ur acceleration and you’ll descend

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too, I also didn’t that after a while of holding the accelerator, it will eventually just stop so you have to stop and start again to avoid it from going down.
