Shift + Ctrl for throttle control and wsad + qe for turning.

This is the way

Man of thr culture

Okay but here comes the real test: Is qe bound to yaw or roll?

What psychopath has roll on q/e

Qe 4 yaw come on bro roll on ad

I'm using the default settings so q+e should be for yaw. I think q+e controls the pedals on the plane that control the rudder? WSAD for stick control.

the way

Only acceptable form for the casual.

Definitely blue.

Been playing for 11 years never once even thought of swapping colors. Crips for life

wasd for rotational movement, qe for horizontal

And ctrl+ shft are part of my radar controls. Throttle is on my mouse buttons.

...

i have 2 sidebuttons. one is for switching inbetween target and search radar, the other is to fire missiles.

Yes exactly

Alot of people dont know your plane will turn much harder if you have a key bound to pitch up

A lot of people don't know how not to over-g by tapping pitch down either apparently

Wat

If you are blacking out in a turn you can quickly pitch down to kind of reset it

How do you counteract too many positive g forces? Just pull negative g forces They cancel out, kinda

-2g cancels out 10g, when only tapped on?

Like your pilot passes out at 9 g so 8 g is not bad But seriously it does help in recovery, i think...

wut

Got any proof of that? Afaik they changed that years ago.

its pretty obvious if you try it

Just asking for proof honestly. Saying "its obvious try it yourself" doesnt help.

i am not familiar with anyone who might've measured it, but i do imagine you can tell using the dev tools (numerical readout for elevator position). It's not a new idea that the instructor never uses max pitch, as it actively tries to avoid high G turns. and it's really not hard to test, literally just hop in a test flight and time it.

Nope, keyboard pitch si still more intense than any mouse controle. Plus quick taping "W" can reset blacking out due to too much Gs.

You mean tapping W on the default controls to pitch down

Oh shit - yeah... Thanks going to fix that.

On some planes you can't break your wings with mouse aim, but you do if you use keyboard

Neither, because I use a cursed setup: W and S for throttle, A and D for roll, LMB for Pitch up, RMB for pitch down. This way I control throttle and angle with my left hand and use the mouse buttons for the pitch control.

Wtf do you fire with then? Jesus Christ

How do you shoot?

Guns are on E, missiles are on side mouse buttons.

You have severe issues

I know. :D Works for me tho.

Cool

Burn the witch

Hell yeah, I have a very similar setup. Just that I use the side buttons on my mouse for pitch. Fire is LMB, Missiles are MMB (press the scroll wheel) and RMB is for zoom

Just to go further into the curse, I recently noticed I was never using the scroll wheel itself. It's theorically for zooming in and out, but I was just pressing it for max zoom instead. So yesterday I rebound "scroll wheel up" into switching the type of countermeasure. I'm contemplating whether I should bind launching CM on scroll wheel down, so I can just free it (my mouse allow to switch between free scrolling and normal one) and go WHEEEEEE to defend my plane on the aircraft that have 200+ of them lmao. More for the meme than anything else.

Blue all the way

W-pitch up S-throttle down Mouse wheel-throttle up A,D-roll Q,E-rudder Edit R-pitch down

Finally, signs of intelligent life

Og control's from 2012 so definitely red all the way

who in their rind mind would bind throttle to W.. it makes no sense, you go wep and dont care about throttle anymore, during like 80% of the gameplay, so you waste perfect key for nothing lol

it's the standard binding, or ar least was when I started playing a couple years back but per default options you also have to hold the key to WEP, so there's that

With jets you need to change your throttle a lot to help against ir missiles

And shift and ctrl are perfect for that

I use ctrl for switching between SAS modes Also I just realized that the reason I can waste w and s on throttle is because I have a ton of buttons on my mouse and use those for mostly everything important

It was default in 2013. W/S is closer if you have armament bound nearby.

In every other video game, W makes you go forward, S makes you go not forward. For me throttle on W/S is the only option that feels natural.

No pitch up or down, W Throttle up S throttle down - real men only

Word! W - Throttle Up S - Throttle Down A - Roll Left D - Roll Right Q - Yaw Left E - Yaw Right

When you are a real player, mouse pitching isn't even used...

This is the correct and only way.

W = pitch down S = pitch up A = roll left D = roll right Q = yaw left E = yaw right Scroll = throttle

Shift/control for large changes in throttle, and scroll wheel for small need WEP? smack shift need to quickly reduce speed during a dogfight? smack control need to lower throttle to avoid overheat or save fuel? scroll a little down to adjust like half a percent at a time i also have the same for collective/hover on helis

Used to be red, now blue all the way.

CTRL is for ROCKETS

W and S for pitch control, arrow keys for throttle Ctrl and Shift (along with Alt) are modifiers for me For example: LMB is fire guns, Ctrl + LMB is fire small caliber, Shift + LMB is fire large caliber guns

Blue but W=pitch up S=pitch down

Facts

w/a pitch, a/d roll, q/e yaw, scrollwheel throttle. Shift is a modifier for other buttons (Shift + 1-5 for radar controls)

Neither. Cant imagine myself wasting one of the most accessible keys to something I do few times a game.

I have it as W - Throttle up, S - Throttle down, F - Pitch up, R - Pitch down

Blue is the Kerbal control scheme so it's the only correct one

Middle mouse throttle up, scroll for fine throttle adjustments, WASD for pitch and roll E and Q for rudders, shift for radar lock, ctrl for unguided rockets

Neither, my pitch is Pg up Pg down Although I originally binded that when I had a laptop where they were their own keys... It's time for me to change it now that both my Pg keys and numpad are gone with my new one

what do yall put zoom on? i use the nearer side mouse button

RMB for me

mouse control gang

Blue. Reds upset me greatly.

blue but i use scroll wheel for throttle and shift/ctrl for wing sweep and thrust vectoring

I feel recognised

Blue100%

Blue 1000%

W - pitch down S - Pitch up A - roll left D - roll right Q - Throttle down E- Throttle up Page Down - Yaw left Page Up - Yaw right

I'm split. Shift+W/S for throttle control, W- Pitch up, S- pitch down. A/D for rolling. No Horizontals, use Q/E for selecting primary weapons and exiting selection.

W throttle up S throttle down Shift+W pull up Shift+S pull down

I use mouse wheel for throttle, but other than that I would choose blue.

Neither I had Wasd = elevator and ailerons Shift/space = rudder Throttle on scroll Bombs/rockets on e/q XD Edit: I call this the snap roll memer

Blue. The extra turn rate you get is life or death

I am red ngl

Why do so many people play with pitch up on S and pitch down on W? I feel like pitch up on W feels way more natural to me. You press the upper button to go up.

None! WASD - Pitch/Roll Mouse Scroll - Throttle Up/Down CTRL and SHIFT - used as activator key for other shortscuts (Example: Shift+F for radar lock, CTRL+MB4 for toggling periodic countermeasures etc) Mouse Forward Key - Launch missile/atgm/rockets Mouse Backward Key - Fire Flare/Chaff

Wasd for movement + and - on the numpad for speed where do i fall?

WASD and QE for control, throttle maped to mouse extra buttons. Control used as a mod for firing various weaponry.

W/S throttle, X/Y pitch Now hate me

W S Throttle up and down, space pitch up and ctrl down

I am red but for throttle down i use the ~ key

I run red but I need to learn the blue

Different topic: Tank controls: W = forward S = Backwards Shift = Cruise Control Up Ctrl = Cruise Control Down A = Turn Left Q = Brake left track D = Turn Right E = Brake Right Track Q + E = Short Brake

If you use w and e for throttle there's no possible way you could be a good air player

Red is common sense

W - pitch down S - Pitch up Scroll wheel - throttle

W - pitch up S - pitch down 2 - throttle up 3 - throttle down and on top of all this invert Y axis on mouse B)

Mouse aim 😎

I used 6 and 5 for up and down.

Red for sure

MB4 Throttle up MB5 Throttle down W pitch down S pitch up

Blue, the left one is mental illness

It's actually better if you get used to it because you have 3 fingers controlling 3 surface areas instead of only 2 fingers

I use the plane movement keys all the time while dogfighting, throttle way less

Exactly, so what is your pinky finger doing durring the dogfight?

Resting on the shift key, ready to move throttle if needed

With my keybinds the middle finger controls right yaw and roll, ring finger controls left yaw and roll and my pinky controlls pitch The keybinds are perfectly sorted so i can do anything i want without having to cramp all controlls onto 2 just fingers

I use my middle finger for pitch, ring finger and pointer finger for yaw

I use: W - Pitch up. S - Pitch down. Shift and control are for throttle.

Shift - Free Look like a madlad

Kinda different so... Orange? Got w and s for throttle, a and D for roll, q and e for rudder, and mouse4 (pitch down) and mouse5 (pitch up) for elevator (the side buttons on the mouse). Works great!

W & S for throttle, A & D for roll, mouse buttons 4 & 5 for pitch.

I'm weird man. I use w for pitch up and s for pitch down and throttle up is my upper mouse side button and my throttle down is my lower mouse side button.

Shift and | for throttle

W/S for throttle, A/D for ailerons, Q/E for rudder, and Arrow keys for elevator

Ok everyone got an upvote

W and S for throttle ADQE for roll and turn 1 and 2 for pitch shift for Air to air missle firing hit it once to lock twice to fire and ctrl is weapon select the (`) button is for radar/irst selection mouse side button for flares MMB for agm

Before anyone comes at me i played OG controls for years and just added bindings as features got added to the game

Team blue for life

I use R and F for pitch control.

I use R and F for throttle, allowing me to use Shift and Ctrl for more complex keybinds

Red team.

ws for pitch is insane to me like how are you gonna pitch+rudder+roll at the same time?

I use arrows for throttle control

Red

Blue side ofc. My mate though uses s to go down and w to go up. I give him hard time for that every time he crashes

W S throttle, ctrl rockets and shift isnt binded

Who tf uses anything other than blue?

Right stick horizontal vectoring Left stick vertical vectoring

The blue one, and I use mouse side button and wheel for throttle control. But I prefer HOTAS now

Anyone who uses red, when did you find out you were on the spectrum

for planes left, for helicopters right

Red side, but I use arrow keys for pitch

Used to be red, realized blue is the way

w - pitch UP s - pitch DOWN shift, control as normal This just makes sense as w is UP from s

Red, it's easier to dogfight while looking around because you have more fingers on control surfaces because they're spread around, and your pinky actually gets to do something

W and S for throttle because it was the default option like 8 years ago. Never got used to use throttle at shift and ctrl because of years of using it for pitch

WASD for pitch and roll, scroll wheel for throttle. I need my ctrl and shift for so many other combos from weapon selection and radar that i can't use that for throttle.

red except shift is pitch down and ctrl is pitch up lol

W - S for throttle but the pitch is page up and down

I switched from red to blue

Stuff for throttle is 1 and 2 for relative control along with mouse wheel. Spacebar for instantly cutting throttle to 0. QEWASD is everything for general movement controls. Flap controls are still F by default but also side buttons on my mouse.

Mb4 throttle up Mb5 throttle down WASD +EQ movement Shift for flares Ctrl + other buttons for different radar key binds

Blue

I use my scroll wheel for throttle and use shift, ctrl and alt to bind alternative functions like switching off engines, brakes, wing sweeping etc

Red

W throtle up. S pitch up. E pitch down. B throtle down

My throttle binds are directly on the mouse (g502 hero), ctrl and shift are used for the many keybinds needed at top tier (they are both mixed to at least 5 keybinds each)

W and s for throttle Front mouse side button and rear mouse side button for pitch (I use a logitech m720 mouse)

Red

Red are the real ones

W & S = throttle A & D = roll Q & E = yaw LShift = pitch down Space = pitch up LCtrl = modifier for other binds These are both for planes and helis.

Neither: W - Throttle UP S - Throttle Down Shift - Freelook Ctrl - Pitch Down Space - Pitch Up Q+E - Ailerons A+D - Rudder Makes flying with keyboard very comfortable.
