BF2042 Helicopter Controls need tuning

I'm a battlefield vet been playing since 2042 and it is my favorite series. I'm a diehard Battlefield 4 fan, the helicopter controls on BF4 were amazing, you could fly around and shoot and feel every movement. If they could copy the exact controls from BF4 to BF2042 for helicopters I would be happier. I play this series strictly for flying helicopters. The controls on BF2042 are so terrible, almost badder than those on BF Hardline. Please replicate helicopter controls from BF4 to BF2042. I feel like I'm flying a tank on BF2042, can't even adjust my settings to get the proper YAW on my controller. It's completely opposite what it would be on BF4. PLEASE FIX with next update!

@trip1ex Thanks. I'll give it a go. Yes, the invert thing can mess your head up. It's what caused the problem really as I cant fly with the default mouse forward = pitch up..... muscle memory just wont have it, so I had to remap.

I don't understand how flight controls are so difficult....with all the flight games out it should be easy for EA to integrate good flight mechanics in their BF games...

Seems to me that good pilots have no problem maneuvering helicopters for quick and accurate kills against infantry and vehicles.

@Arfan76 Or Bf2 for that matter, those were even more realistic. Actually was able to hover in the realz on a joyride (instructor had the yaw & throttle)

Here is an easy fix for the helicopter control issues - I did this and I can easily fly helis in 2042 now. Go to custom control settings on your 2042 helicopter settings. Have the sticks set up legacy or whatever your preference is. Then totally remove the free look options from the sticks - once I did that it feels near exactly like BF3/4 for helicopters. Hope that helps.
