OK, SR3 time - is anyone using a gamepad? After doing nothing but side missions, I did the first chopper mission last night, and, using a keyboard, was less than impressed. It almost felt like, while I had the W key pressed to move forward, it wasn't registering the CTRL key (I think it was) to dive at the same time.

Thought about trying a gamepad, but I'm not sure how well aiming might work then during gunplay.

The first few helicopter/vtol vehicles are a bit slow on the rise/lower controls, and will be better as you get more 'sporty' heli/vtol crafts.
As for the camera view, I haven't, but I also think it depends on the vehicle. for example a sleek sports car has a lower camera (closer to the rear of the car) and a SUV or larger has it a bit higher.

I have found I can actually fly a helicopter/vtol just fine with the keyboard/mouse and haven't had any issues at all with missions that require them

Batman and I were having a blast and I posted a picture or 2 of a mission were we doing in yesterdays Into the Black.


Other issue: Anyone found a way to zoom out the camera while driving? It seems awful close to the bumper, and I keep trying to use the mouse wheel (which only changes weapons) to zoom back. Also, I keep moving the camera up, so I can see further down the road, and it keeps snapping back down after a few seconds, so I'm constantly battling it.


Mild annoyances. Still having a blast with it!
