We have the key binds the same. They're literally just the same as the old video. Left, right, forward, backwards, all that jazz. Twisting left, twisting right for yaw. 00:18 Speaker A But our sensitivity has changed to 0.75. Now, we were flying quite well with 2.0, and to be honest, there's not that much of a difference. It's not like it makes you slow by going to 0.75. 00:32 Speaker A It just means it's more controlled. You will feel it as soon as you change from 2.0 to 0.75 or even 1.0 to 0.75. You will notice it straight away. 00:42 Speaker A You will feel more controlled and more responsive on your input. Dead zones again, I'm not touching them because I've not got stick drift. There's no need to, but people play with dead zones as well. 00:52 Speaker A Invert pitch, no, no. We don't want to do that. We don't even want to invert our yaw. 00:56 Speaker A 75% all sensitivities, that's what we're on now. Collective, up and down, simple. Invert collective, we want that on. I've explained it in the other video, but if you're new here, if you don't invert it, basically up is to go down and down is to go up. So, 01:11 Speaker A you want to put that opposite by inverting it. So, that's what we've done there. 01:16 Speaker A 0.75 sensitivity, all sensitivity 0.75. That is the new one. Collective dead zone, I don't use. Self-centering collective, I do not use. 01:26 Speaker A This is just for my POV hat, even though it's not working for me at the moment, but if you've got a HOTAS that has a POV hat button on it that you can use to free look, that's where you key bind all 01:36 Speaker A them settings. I know you can use third-party apps like OpenTrack and stuff like that. I use that with a webcam, but I've not actually set it up for this yet. I might look into that. 01:49 Speaker A Firing button, simple firing button and all personal preference right here. Whatever you want to put them as, you can. 01:57 Speaker A The main thing, the main takeaway, the main differences from the last video is all sensitivity to 0.75. 02:04 Speaker A Two flight assists that we have on now. Two flight assists. Stability and auto hover. Stability, that gives me less wobble. I feel like I'm wobbling less with this on. 02:21 Speaker A Auto hover, I notice when you're coming down to the ground, it like it always straightens itself up. 02:27 Speaker A First, I didn't really like it, but I can now see the benefits of it, and I agree that this should be on and so should stability. Some people might not like stability, but I don't think it restricts you as much as these two. 02:40 Speaker A Definitely not. Even that, it doesn't restrict you. So, you can use these two. I don't know, maybe when Alpha and I tried it, these didn't really do much, but now they do in the current state of the game. They definitely help me out a 02:54 Speaker A lot. So, these are the two flight assists I would put on. And then yeah, literally just all sensitivity 0.75. 03:04 Speaker A That's the only difference from the last video. Yeah, I'm good. Nice. Thank you, Smokey. 04:27 Speaker A Halfway to level six, support level seven for that big hammer. I'll drop a bunch off when I keep still in the area. Stay sharp. 05:30 Speaker A Hey, where's your— Hey, you got the whole world in your hands, son. Do something about it. 05:39 Speaker A Wow. That was like fun time. So, are you trying to make me throw up right now? 06:20 Speaker A Jordan, I'm coming in hot. I got shots there, Mr. Smokey, so just do a quick drop. We'll jump the hell out. 06:37 Speaker A Drop me here. Perfect landing on the pub. We got a hostile little bird spot on us. 07:54 Speaker A Spotted an enemy aircraft. He's down near the air station. Smoke. Now it's my watch. 08:40 Speaker A No. That's a bad idea. You're a piece of shit. I hope you— You're a piece of shit.
