@ Jeremy, your input was a great help to me and I changed the copter control as a result. I much prefer it now and I think you and others will too. I tested it with a few pals last night and they managed to land on top of the polywood sign where before they struggled.
If I'm honest the game was designed to be played on dual sticks and will configure for any make of pad including most steering wheel / pedal combinations. Everyone has their control preferences and I made a big effort to cater for this.
For keyboard controls I need to keep the keys available to a minimum so a single button for raising the copter is what I'll need to stick with. I may loose the camera key too as I plan to have this set on the Team / Vehicle setup screen and have all this saved in the prefs file. I can't think of a way of getting rid of the detach button - perhaps a combination of existing keys?
Like I've said before - all feedback is welcome - I'm thick skinned. Although the negative comments are outweighing the positives atm most of it is a big help.
p.s. Can someone who has a widescreen monistor please try this and tell me whether the menu and in game hud looks ok so that I can put that issue to bed?
