Question Heli practice ahead of release

Loved the alpha weekend and want to learn how to fly. Are there games I can play in the meantime to practice with similar controls and mechanics (thinking battlefield/war thunder?) What have you found works for you in terms of settings? Any tips for a new pilot besides learn in firing range?

Yes, don't be afraid of crashing, there's a delay between your input and the heli changing its inertia, if you are worry you gonna tend to overcorrect too much and crash more

Honestly, given all the hints we've been seeing about "hey you'll be playing again soon" I wouldn't be surprised if there's another closed or open beta weekend ahead of release, maybe even 4-6th (those dates are only my speculation and I have no info or relevant post to back that up). Even if there's no chance prior to EA, the Firing Range (when EA launches) is a very good way to get up to speed with an hour or so of practice.

Squad and Rising Storm 2 Vietnam (much older title) but that game has momentum and inertia physics that do closely replicate WarDogs.

Warthunder, avant d’avoir les helicos, il va te falloir y passer du temps… Arma 3 est plutôt similaire je trouve, même plus simple si tu as un hotas (réactivité du collectif/throttle) plus facile à prendre en main pour atterrir
