Noob questions.

I am a noob and  need some serious help with this game would be nice if you could answer a few questions for me.

1. How do I properly set my plane controls? When I go up with my mouse, my plane goes down etc, it's very annoying. I checked the settings, but it seems to be very difficult to properly change. Usually there is a button in game's settings that says mirror controls or something like this.

2. How can I drag the cable that is connected to my anti personal mine / trap, to an other position. Or do I just plant it ?

3. How do I change my character and uniform? I have seen in a youtube video, that you can customize your tank crewman, etc and people have soldiers with german uniforms in their loadout section, but I always have this black guy with british uniform.

Hope someone can simply explain this to me and give me some answers. This game is very hard to overlook as a beginner. And I am not even new to Battlefield overall.

  • 1) What is the exact setup that you want? In BF1 there is no option for inverted controls. I am using inverted controls on arrows and normal controls for mouse. It was enough for me to go into plane key bindings, first set the arrows the way I want in Keyboard column (Up for pitching down, Down for pitching up) and then click on Mouse column in pitch down and pitch up. Once I got the prompt to set it up, I moved the mouse in the direction I wanted (up for Pitch Up, down for Pitch Down).

    2) You just plant it. The game will automatically figure out where to attach it.

    3) You can't change uniforms and characters. All you can change is the vehicle and soldier loadout. Character and his uniform are tied to the class and map.

    Hi.

    I solved Q1 on my own! Thanks for your answer.

    Q2. Where exactly can I find the vehicle loadout? In my menue, I can only customise my classes, but no vehicles.

  • That's a slightly tricky one. For some reason, these loadouts can only be accessed when the vehicle is available in deployment screen. You have to click on its icon when one is available, then click Customize in bottom left corner. You will be able to set your Pilot and Tanker loadouts from there (and you can also buy and choose vehicle loadouts). 

  • Hi, I have the same question about inverting the pitch up/down for the plane. Can you describe how you solved this issue? I am using an xbox one controller on a PC. Hopefully you can still receive messages from here (this is quite an old original post).

    @Farmeral1 You'd be best off creating a new post for your question. I'm sure someone will be able and happy to give you a hand 🙂 (I would if I knew the answer).

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
