Jordy. Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) PS3 are we? Alright... (btw, this is with the "Classic Controls" setting) You need to be able to press the shoulder buttons, the X or square buttons, the shoot button and tilt the left analog stick AT THE SAME TIME. Right, say you want to spin anti-clockwise around a target. You'd have to get momentum by tilting toward the right and rotating to the left, holding onto X. You MUST hold onto X for the majority of the time to keep the heli from falling. Once the heli starts moving sideways, you'll have to keep the left stick in a diagonal position (say L1 L2 R1 R2 are all facing the direction of north, you'd have to push the stick north-east). But whilst doing this, you still need to keep aim, so you have to like, make the heli face your target whilst tilting in the right direction still. It sounds more complex than it is. Also, you'll have to use rotate to help keep your balance and aim, mostly you'll need to keep holding onto L2 in this case. So during the circling around a target (anti-clockwise), you'll be doing this most of the time: Holding X Holding L2 Pushing the left analog stick up/right or north/east Pressing L1 (shoot button) when necessary You need to think about keeping the chopper steady, in movement and facing the target. Tricky stuff, but some people can manage rather well, ooo yes indeed. /Cocky Twat EDIT: Sorry, was meant to say L2 rather than R2. The stick is what keeps the heli moving anti-clockwise, L2 keeps it facing the target. Edited October 30, 2009 by Jordy.

stuart-88 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 What Jordy said is perfect, but the only way you will be able to do it is lots of practise. Took me a few months to get how I am now. Add me if you like and will give you some help Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/430371-gta-iv-annihilator/#findComment-1059595055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGANNER Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yep, takes a lot of practice. If you have a little time on your hand try shooting the pigeons in singleplayer, I did it and suddenly I was circling between buildings and didnt even notice Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/430371-gta-iv-annihilator/#findComment-1059595195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandsanman Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 took me 2 weeks to circle good now just have to work on aim & correct distance when shooting to make sure your not in gun range also depending on your hand use L2 & R2 to manage ur throttle( managing ur throttle means changing ur height & speed) and then use L1 or R1 for direction of circle Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/430371-gta-iv-annihilator/#findComment-1059602288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Edge- Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is it correct to assume all these helicopter videos are using a gamepad and not a mouse+keyboard? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/430371-gta-iv-annihilator/#findComment-1060611941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikt Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Is it correct to assume all these helicopter videos are using a gamepad and not a mouse+keyboard? If using keyboard and mouse, make sure your keyboard supports a lot of keypresses. Don't use the mouse. Here's what I do: Right Control = shoot W/S = throttle/gas A/D = rotate the helicopter left/right numpad 4/6 = Tilt the helicopter left/right 8/2 = nope up/down Works best for me.

Yeah, I have a personalized keyboard setup myself. But what I was wondering is if those types of results (in the video link) are possible without a gamepad. I've seen videos of both Playstation and Xbox "pilots" displaying their GTA helicopter skills, but I can't seem to find any PC non-gamepad videos (beyond basic flight demonstrations). I can't seem to get those kinds of results with a keyboard, but it may be that I'm using one (microsoft natural pro) that doesn't acknowledge more than a few simultaneous keystrokes.
