One last thing is you have to experiment with the mouse sensitivity to fit
your control preferences. I had to make it more sensitive for me to fly.
It took some trial and error. I setup a local server called the Proving
ground to experiment with when I change settings, and in single player one
of the maps has a gun****p you can fly with a bot for the gunner. Or if
you
join a titan server with no players you can fly the aircraft.
