Firstly, is there a way of skipping the EA and Dice intro bits and going straight to the login when you stat future beef
Secondly, why do i find it so difficult to fly the transport/gunship? I need help

Is there crap you can delete in
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Movies

Yep, or somewhere thereabouts. Just find and delete the movie files.
As for flying, I've always found it far easier in futurebeef than in BEEF. Just find a fairly empty Titan map and have a fly about - the transports are usually fairly neglected.

When I played BEEF a bit, I found that increasing the mouse sensitivity in choppers and jets really helped. I also found that using the inside view only helped, as you can get a much better idea of where you're pointing

Yeah, you can delete the intro movies just like in normal beef.
As for flying, I find it easier than normal beef because they handle like they're in syrup instead of air

I had a go of FutureBeeF flying using a joystick (a horse-feedback sidewinder) at my Dad's house and once I got used to the sensitivity it was a piece of piss.
You set the thrust using a wheely thing that stayed in place and twisted the stick to use the rudder. It was the first time I was actually able to shoot objects on the ground, turn around and go back for another pass. I also took out other copters and evaded AA fire for quite a while too. Landing was still a bit tricky, though.
Normally I just crash immediately, especially when aiming at the ground.
