Flying a WAC Aircraft (PC)

Guides

Taking off 

You will need to start the engine by pressing the ‘R’ key to start the engine. 

Once you have started the engine it will not move very much on its own. You will need to increase the throttle by pressing the spacebar. The helicopter begins to hover and fly off the ground. 

In a plane, you will begin to move forwards quickly so wait a moment and press the ‘W’ key and this will allow you to left off. 

Flight

In the plane press ‘A’ and ‘D’ to turn around and ‘W’ and ‘S’ to move up and down. You are able to fly sideways which may be an easy way for you to turn around. 

You will need to hold the space bar in to maintain your airspeed. You are also able to use Mouse 1 or 2 to turn in midair without having to fly sideways.   

In the helicopter, ‘WASD” controls the tilt of the helicopter which is important for moving. ‘W” will allow you to move forward swiftly but you will also lose altitude shortly. ‘S’ will allow you to move backward at a similar speed but again you will experience altitude loss. To predict the altitude change press the ‘H’ shaped heads-up display in the pilot's seat. If the crosshairs are above the middle line, you will go higher but if is it below you will go lower and faster.

You can use the left and right mouse buttons to turn the helicopter. 

Landing 

In the plane, the spacebar will decrease your speed midair, and you can pull in for a landing. You can also turn the engine off in-flight which is probably not a good idea but at lower altitudes and speeds it could work.

In a helicopter, you will want to activate hover mode as this will make your landing easier. Hover mode can be toggled. Once you have Hove mode active, the front of the helicopter will pull up and then stabilize. You can then pull down using the shift gently and then land. But careful because landing too quickly will most likely result in damage to the helicopter. 

Extra Information 

In a helicopter, you will use the ‘F’ key to fire and the ‘G’ key will swap weapons. 

The attack choppers are the Havoc or the Cobra and are armed to defend against enemy attacks on any terrain. 

The second seat in the chopper is for a dedicated gunner to control most of the weapons by pressing the right mouse key. This allows you to look out the sensor placed on the bottom of the chopper. The vision will be in black and white and you can see in the dark. 

The attack helicopters have the following weapons: 

  1. Rocket pods: the pilot can fire the rockets whether the rockets fire one time or more it will depend on the player. 
  2. Autocannon: the gunner can aim the crosshair and fire the explosive machine gun make sure you press the mouse 2 but do not hold the button in. 
  3. Lock-on missiles: the gunner can lock onto anything (human, Gunship, Chopper, Hunter & Strider). The missiles will fly up into the air and then down onto the target because of the helicopter's weak spot.

Special Aircraft: WAC Base

Cessna C172

The C172 moves slowly even though it is a smaller size because it is not a jet and it is propeller-powered. It can also serve as a low-capacity transport, holding four people in total.

UH-60 Black Hawk

The Black Hawk is one of three unweaponized aircraft. It is a larger helicopter and it is intended for use as a troop transport. It can hold up to seven people in total. 

MH-6 Little Bird

It may be deliberately or due to a glitch but the little bird currently has no HUD for the pilot. For some players through experience, the HUD becomes unnecessary. It can also transport up to four people in total. There are two passenger seats where the miniguns would be on an AH-6, the MH-6 has no weaponry.
