No yaw control with helicopter control assist enabled for transport helicopter

With default key bindings and helicopter control assist enabled, there does not seem to be any way to turn the transport helicopter to either left or right (yaw control). For the attack helicopter this works perfectly fine by moving the mouse left and right. Ascend, descend, role, pitch and other controls work as expected, there is just no yaw control - at least not one I can find or seem to be able to configure in the key bindings for mouse and keyboard. I don't think this is working as expected (or maybe I need help understanding how this is supposed to work)

I'm playing on PC, installed from Steam, version 1.0.1.0

  • You thankfully have proven I am not an idiot. After many hours of changing key bindings and testing I finally figured out why flying helicopters in an arcade style game sucks so bad. I will also note that the attack helicopter does not have roll with assist on. When tipping nose up or down while yawing, it looks like there is roll. I saw some expert gamers playing and they definitely had rolling on the attack chopper but I cannot duplicate with assist on.

    In my opinion, the assist should just keep the copter hovering and that is it. But to be honest, it is an arcade style shooter with realistic elements. Choppers should auto hover regardless.

    I have not pinpointed anything yet but wonder what is screwed up on jets. I managed to figure out how to fly them but it still is wonky. I guess jet yaw is slight tuning of left/right to perfect your direction? It is so subtle in game I find it pointless.

    P.S. I do not get why I don't see more comments or questions around the internet on this. The helicopter was designed for fast turns and hovering so why would a type in BF6 not have yaw?
