To look around with default settings.

Hold d-pad down and free look with right stick. Using the motion control was hard it seemed like it had a little lag so this wasn't for me. And flying with the motion control was hard as well, but glad to see Gaijin had implemented it.

Its the same for the xbox 360 pad. Hold down on the D-pad, use R-stick to look freely.
To change target select missiles, X button change target. One cool thing is you can shoot beyond visual range by going into a hover or still flying. After selecting your target you can hold d-pad up to get a satellite view of target, and you can zoom in by holding L2 and while still in satellite view press R1 to fire missile, which is fire and forget. Another cool feature is while using the Flir mode, (gun) when you find a target you can press R1 to fire missile.

I had got pretty good with the controls last night on realistic, I am guessing when sim mode is unlocked in full game it will be taken up a notch hopefully.

I figured out you can rotate the helo a full 180 while going topspeed but you have to level out your body with the left stick and keep it level, so you can be going full out towards your target and do a complete turn around and start flying backwards while shooting hellfires. Another thing to try is while coming at targets try to switch to your flir mode and shoot while the helo is going straight at low speed that is what I did at the level where the Apache is down to make it a little more challenging.

Talking about the graphics I agree the surrounding so seem a little low detail but I can live with that because the gameplay is superb. I am surprised Activision didn't has Gaijin to put in MP VS. but hopefully they could add that, I don't know. But the co-op will be fun if it is done correctly and I believe Gaijin will not let us down.
Agree with everything your saying, The graphics for me.... are good, acceptable. I can comfortably live with them. Ive seen worse

Has anyone just gone into "free flight" mode yet? As in.. on the first combat mission, kill all the attackers etc, but instaed of heading through the valley at the end to the forward base, jus tstay behind and enjoy flying freely without any trouble?

Well i have, and its great. Zoomed in and looked at the instruments etc to. Noticed how good the touch was when you can see your pilot holding the stick etc and they move when you make them Great touch, BUT.... even though the instruments work, the altimeter doesnt. The dial does, but the actual altimeter doesnt. The height just stays at 0000.

Little things aside. A great game.


Has anyone on the PS3 encountered the sound problem that us 360 players have encountered yet? with the never ending machine gun sounds? (rainbow 6 anyone)
