Learning to Fly (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas)

I looked through the forum, and found (in "Most NOT Favorite Missions") that most players have problems with flight school and flight in general. I can’t really understand their problems, since I myself fly mountainaazdo better than ride cars. So at the extreme driving school I sit for days, and I can not go through all the missions, because it doesn’t work. And all this time I am eagerly awaiting when they will put me on a plane ... And I go to the pilot school for gold, spending one or three attempts on tasks. (there is only a problem with landing on a parachute. I can't land in 60 seconds, only 62 or 63, which does not allow the last task to go to gold. 92% only gain)

I think that perhaps I can help beginners if I give some tips for flying planes and turntables.
Please note, I am not bragging, and I am not going to "teach a scientist", I just have a desire to help.

The first step is to look at the flight control configuration. it needs to be changed. Unfortunately, the control of flying vehicles in the AC is much less convenient than in the AC, so let's see how I do it.
(I have a pirated version, so here are the keys that we need :)
Oh, and more. There is absolutely no need to change the controls completely. It is enough to add an alternative key. (Only I will write them)
Fire O
Alternative fire U
Acceleration I
Brake / reverse K
Left Left arrow
Right Right arrow
Turn forward / down Up arrow
Turn back / up Down arrow
Look left J
Look right K
Subtraction (chassis) 7
Beep (stabilizer - only for turntables) RShift

There is another option: swap the "Left" and "Right" keys with "Look Left" and "Look Right" respectively. This is determined by the fact that the aircraft has two types of turn: horizontal turn, carried out by the tail vertical rudder (key "Left", "Right") and tilt turn, carried out by the flaps (keys "Look left", "Look right")
This is, in general, whoever is comfortable.

So, the control for the car has not changed for me, but when I get into the flying vehicle, my hands are in this position:
Left on three buttons I, K, J, L, right on the arrows. (we don't touch the mouse at all!) If I need to shoot, next to the I button I have U and O, alternative and normal fire. To release the landing gear - I do not reach for two, I press the button 7. Being in the helicopter, the right shift stabilizes its horizontal position (which makes it possible to "hang" in the air).

So, I sorted out the issue of management. Now some tips on how to effectively use this office.
First, planes must be handled gently. This is not some kind of trick. No need to press keys into the keyboard. You need to gently, following the course of the aircraft, press them, occasionally releasing them. This will ensure a smooth ride and the absence of unwanted drifts and "dive" nose into the ground.
Secondly. While in the helicopter, do not squeeze the arrow upward strongly to avoid turning the turntable over. Better to press it quickly, as if you were riding a bike with acceleration. Then the helicopter will fly forward and steadily.

Sorry, maybe I wrote a lot of things that everyone has known for a long time ... In short. I just wanted to help. No more.

And if possible, in turn, I would like to ask a couple of tips about the driving school.
I've already seen this post somewhere, but I can't find it.
-How to pass the last mission, the car is completely uncontrollable, with each turn the car starts spinning circles.
-I saw some advice on how not to lose speed when turning (when you need to drive 5 laps in 40 minutes on the Banshee), but I can't find this post ...
-It's not necessary once at a time. Where you need to get to the point on two wheels. He took the record 99% and reached the same result several times. There is no way to get 100%. (I steamed for two days). There exactly what when how. If I'm lucky, I'll get there. If not, no. Any advice on this?

Thanks.

Thanks to the author. The advice on the principle of controlling the aircraft with the help of light manipulations (short touches of the aircraft tilt keys), and not long presses (as in the case of controlling a car and a motorcycle), helped. Also, advice on taking a break, if it didn't work out, helped. Last time I could not complete the mission with a twist (the third in a row in the learning process), after an unsuccessful attempt I took a break from the game for a week and decided to try to go through, and everything worked out. Not from the first attempt he passed every test, and not everything is 100%, but he passed the mission.
